Mr. Hublot

The Oscars are two months old, which basically means they're ancient, but we just learned that the animation director of Mr. Hublot, the winner for Best Animated Short, is a San Francisco resident.

Inspired by the artwork of artist Stephane Halleux, Mr. Hublot is set in a futuristic, robotic world, following an obsessive-compulsive robot-man whose life changes when he makes a new friend.
