	I can live with that. 

	But I still can't understand who would consider something on the order
of an local electric company commercial better titled "Electricity and
Me" for school children to have merit as an animation. There was a winner
from a ways back doing the same as that but following a rolling ball down
a complex roller coaster. That was good. This one is nothing in
comparison. I don't see how it happened to win anything if it was judged
as an animation. It did not grow in the journey. It is a Reddy Kilowatt
commercial in a fancy setting. 

	The judging criteria is not apparent given the winners or the ranking
simply on the grounds of the theme, journey as a journey not just getting
there, and as animation. 

	C'est la Vie.
