Summary
A little girl accidentally leaves her imaginary baby brother behind at a restaurant, and suddenly, for a nearby childless couple, the definition of "baby" takes on a new and completely unexpected dimension. (OTTO) is a charming animated short from the filmmakers who brought us the **Oscar**-nominated A Single Life. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**.

Summary
This Oscar-nominated short features three interlocking tales of damsels in distress and their would-be saviors, who aren't very good at being heroes.. An urban scene: a man sees a woman fall off the roof of the neighboring apartment building. A Western scene: a cowboy hears a woman tied to the railroad tracks and an approaching train. And a fantasy scene: seven dwarfs, reading the tale of Snow White, sense a witch passing by with a poison apple. Each hero races to save their respective "miss" (and sometimes get involved with the stories of the others); each runs into a staggering number of obstacles along the way (including a steadily dwindling supply of dwarves). Who will succeed?. "Unique and remarkable!" - Animation World Network
