Academy award mr hublotZEILT Productions (Luxembourg)Mr Hublot, animation, involves the absurd world of a reclusive, idiosyncratic bachelor with obsessive-compulsive disorder who is scared of change. When a robot-dog arrives his habits are upset and he is forced to live together with his very invasive new pet. This is exceptional animation with originality, complexity and quality. The film received the Grand Prix S3D Seine-Saint-Denis award at the Dimension 3 Festival in Paris. Laurent Witz, producer and director, used CGI with puppets and props made by the amazing sculptor Stéphane Halleux. 2014 Oscar winner animated short.
