Borrowed Time (7 minutes) This star Western comes from some animators from Pixar, known for attacking mature themes through “kiddie movie” frames. Here they break away from familiar turf for a truly adult sensibility in a tale of an aged sheriff who revisits the memories of a long-ago tragedy. Made with a slightly hazy quality, it’s astonishing to see next-gen CG animation used with cartoon-y characters in the service of such a sad, mournful tale. Here’s hoping a feature-length film can employ this style.
