Kunio Katล ๐ŸŽฌ La Maison en Petits Cubes


 

La Maison en Petits Cubes (ใคใฟใใฎใ„ใˆ, Tsumiki no Ie, "The House of Small Cubes") is a 2008 Japanese animated short subject film created by Kunio Katล. It won several prizes, including the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2009. It has a visual palette that's much different and more rustic than many other cartoon shorts. It follows an older man who lives alone and is forced to keep adding levels to his home to stay dry as the rest of the town slowly floods with water. One day, after accidentally dropping his pipe into the water, he dives down after it, going through the other rooms in search of it and making him relive some of his life as memories begin to resurface. These memories include many eventful times in his life, as well as times from before the flood.
