“Otto,” the lovely new animated short from Oscar-nominated Dutch trio Job Roggeveen, Joris Oprins, and Marieke Blaauw is a great way to end your Friday (or any day, really).
The film, about a woman who can’t have children and steals the imaginary friend of a little girl, has screened at 153 festivals and won 21 awards.
Make it 22, as we just gave it the Stash Award for Best Action Figure Ever…
