Paperman

Did anyone else think the girl in this animation was the spitting image of "Lady" from "Lady in the Tramp" (1955)? Maybe it was just me? Anyway, this is quite an engaging tale about a young man who has espied a lady on his morning subway journey and then serendipity takes an helping hand and he spots her again through the open window of a nearby office building. He is too shy to approach her directly so how to communicate? Well how about sending messages to her via paper aeroplanes SWALK? Naturally, the thermals don't always play along and so many of his missives end up in some of the wrong places, or get blown adrift and in the end it might be that this poor lad is going to have his love unrequited - unless...! I really quite enjoyed the simplicity of this and the gentle way in which the story progresses without us really knowing what might happen next, and with a certain sense of unfinished business at the conclusion too. Might there even be a sequel?
