Tin Toy won the Oscar for best short animation.  I haven't seen
this film myself, but I have seen what it beat (NFB's "The
Cat Came Back" among others) so it must have been pretty hot
stuff (it *BETTER* have been!!).  In their acceptance speech they
made a point of thanking Steve Jobs in addition to the Pixar folks.
Anybody know what Mr. Jobs did to assist this film, or was it
just that these guys like their Macs?
