Oktapodi (2007) – Oscar 2009 Animated Short Film

In Oktapodi – a 2007 short film – you will watch the story of two cute octopi help each other escape the clutches of a tyrannical restaurant cook. But, even once they are out of the kitchen, their battle to stay together is not over.

The scene takes place in an animated setting that looks like the Island of Santorini in Greece. The two octopi seem to be a couple in love, and they watch over eachother when one is in danger. It is not clear which octopi is male and which is female… or whatever!

Oktapodi is actually a graduation film created at Gobelins l’école de l’image by which were then students 5 third year students with the collaboration of a UCLA music graduate.
