I had watched the 2004 version of this, and was so happy to be able to see the short films nominated (and the winning selection) for the Oscars. And I had just as much fun watching the 2005 Academy Awards Short Film Collection.
In the collection are all five live action and all five animated nominations, and the menu has a note that tells the winner. The main menu only lists three of the animated films, but if you go to the extras area, it has the other two animated films (don't know why they did it that way...seems silly).
The animated films show GREAT imagination, from silly to spectacular. And I would agree on the winner in this category, "The Moon and the Sun: An Imagined Conversation." It was brilliant.
In the live action, the winning film left me tepid. I think I would have preferred another of the movies to win. But I was just so happy to get to see the movies that I will let the criticisms pass. The only thing I could suggest to make it better is the inclusion of the documentary short films. Now THAT would be a complete collection.
Otherwise, I will be watching the '06, '07 and '08 versions too!
