MR. HUBLOT [2013]

From France, written & directed by Laurent Witz, Mr. Hublot is a steampunk stylized animated short that is sure to warm the heart with it's story, characters and all around charm.
It tells the story of an OCD robot that puts his disorder to the test when he has to decide between his obsession and his heart.  Without any dialogue it relies on the movements and hilarious little details to tell the story, along with a catchy little tune that shows up in random spurts.  The design is dazzling to look at with it's amazing detail and depth so it's best viewed on a larger screen.
