Drawn

When the Day Breaks is a short, wonderfully-textured, animated film about a couple of farm animals and their chance encounter.The film won the Palme d’Or in the short film category at Cannes in 1999 so it’s nice to see the whole thing (just over 9 minutes) available online. Check out a higher-res version here.

According to the description, the artists used pencil and paint on photocopies to achieve the soft, slightly surreal look of the film.
