Hair Love (2019)

When Zuri's dad has to step in for her mom and do her hair before a big event, her curls turn out to have a mind of their own. Matthew A. Cherry, a former NFL player, began it as a Kickstarter campaign that raised nearly $300,000, a record for a short film, and the result is about seven minutes of warm, very funny 2D animation that the whole family can watch together. It is also the most rewatchable film here. It won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 2020, and Sony Pictures Animation released the full film free on YouTube.
