Here’s an interview conducted by a 14 year old kid (or is that a young man at that age – discuss!) back in that famous year of 1969 with John Lennon. This short was nominated for an Oscar in 2008.
There’s also a high quality version of the film at the YouTube screening room

Something a little darker again here… Dog by BAFTA and Academy Award winning animator Suzie Templeton tells a story of a boy, grieving for his dead mother and seeking reassurance from his father. This is probably one you’d want to watch before showing to your kids in case it’s too dark!

And now for something totally different. This is like a kitchen sink drama with farmyard animals. The point of view dips and swirls through the day in the life of a pig and a chicken. This short film is beautifully drawn and executed by Canadian animators Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbes. No wonder it was nominated for an Oscar back in 2001 for Best Animated Short.
