Easily the best of the 2010 Best Animated Short Film nominees, Logorama may still lose the golden statuette to far better known nominee Nick Park and his Oscar nominated Wallace & Gromit short film, A Matter of Loaf and Death. While there's nothing particularly wrong with Park's Wallace & Gromit short, the simple truth is it's the same ole' Wallace & Gromit we get time after time after time. Is that a bad thing? It works, yet this marvelously inventive and beautifully constructed animated short film is undoubtedly the class of the bunch amongst the 2010 nominees with its bittersweet satire of the commercial world in which we live.
Police chase an armed criminal in a version of Los Angeles comprised entirely of corporate logos. Won 2010 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film. Another 2 wins. Q: How did the process of making the film begin? Q: How many logos did they. 'Logorama' is an Oscar-winning short comedy that cleverly satirizes extreme.
Logorama's story is cohesively incohesive if that makes any sense. It shouldn't actually make sense and that's really the point of Logorama, which perfectly blends virtually every corporate logo imaginable into virtually every aspect of life and a film that intertwines cop dramas, family dramas, a 2012 style end of the world scenario and just about everything else in between. What else is in between? In the film, police chase an armed criminal through a version of Los Angeles comprised almost exclusively of logos. In essence, it is a world where every aspect of our life is branded and nothing is what it seems.

The logos are placed randomly at times, other times with hilarious precision. The film's vocal work is solid across the board including a brief vocal cameo by acclaimed director David Fincher. While it's hard not to expect Nick Park's A Matter of Loaf and Death to take home the Oscar award in 2010, rest assured that Logorama is the best animated short from the past year.
Imagine a film. As in, it's a film made up entirely of product placement. Logorama is a short animated French film released in 2009, directed by Francois Alaux, Herve de Crecy, and Ludovic Houplain.
