Wander to Wonder (2024)

Three tiny performers starred in a 1980s children's television show called Wander to Wonder, and when its creator dies, they are left alone in the studio, still trying to make the show without the man who held it together. It is the strangest film here and will not suit everyone, but it gets at something real: the disorientation of losing a father figure who gave your days their shape. Nina Gantz has said her own bereavement reshaped the final screenplay. It was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short and won the Annie Award for Best Short Subject, and it is free on Bang Bang, the YouTube channel of its distributor, Miyu.
