      Christopher Lloyd Sarasota Herald-Tribune This touching and quirky Australian short is about the things that just don't fit. The imagination and animation, especially in the finale, are dazzling. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 10, 2011 Full Review Thomas Caldwell Cinema Autopsy The Lost Thing has a beautiful melancholic charm that evokes the work of writer Neil Gaiman and filmmaker Tim Burton. Rated: 4/5 Jan 25, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Boy befriends stray dog, if stray dog is strange alien robot thing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple yet touching film about memories - the good kind, and how we neglect them by how useless they may seem, by how busy we have been doing some other things. It's really quite touching and I love the quirky animation. It's a beautiful piece about living with a real smile on your face. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a short film done right - gripping, well-paced, and fascinating all the way through. Well done, Australia!
