Notice the cultural differences at the G20 meeting in Toronto:

The Canadian: Self-absorbed and disconnected from reality.
The American: Businesslike, unwilling to be distracted.
The French and the Italian: “LOOK AT THAT A**!”

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.

Something wonderful happened on January 15th 2009 in Liverpool Street Station. As people were rushing to go to work, music started playing and everybody got into it. They suddenly started dancing, young and old, doing the same steps, the same arm moves, all in harmony!

This is probably a mobile phone advertisement, but wouldn’t be cool if things like that happened in real life!

I received this present and decided to pass it on and share it! Merry Christmas!
