Paperman

Plot synopsis:
A young accountant named George is standing on an elevated train platform in 1940s New York City, holding a folder, when he is hit by a flying piece of paper. The paper is chased by a young woman named Meg who lost it to a gust of wind from a passing train. The same thing happens to George when a subsequent gust of wind from another incoming train dislodges one of the papers from his folder and blows it into Meg's face, leaving a lipstick-smudged kiss imprinted on the paper, much to her amusement when George retrieves it. He is entranced by the lipstick mark and Meg's beauty, and therefore misses her boarding the departing train. The two exchange looks as she departs.
George arrives at work, despondent, gazing at the lipstick-marked paper on his desk. He looks out the window and is surprised to find Meg in the building across the street, working in an office with an open window. After failing to get her attention by waving his arms, George begins folding airplanes from a stack of papers on his desk, throwing them out the window one by one in an attempt to get her to notice him. Unfortunately, his efforts are met with varying levels of failure, as well as disparaging looks from his boss. In desperation, having used all of the paper on his desk to no success, he uses the lipstick-marked paper, although this fails as well when a gust of wind tugs it from his hands. Meg then leaves the office, and George, rebuffing his boss, dashes from his desk. Rushing across a street of busy traffic, he fails to see which way she went, and only finds the final lipstick-marked paper airplane. Angered, he throws it hard and it soars into the sky.
It turns out many of the paper airplanes have collected in a nearby alley, and when the lipstick-marked paper airplane lands among them, they begin to stir and fly from the ground, seeming to come alive, and set off in pursuit of George. A cloud of paper airplanes forces him toward a nearby train station and onto a train, much to his confusion. Meanwhile, the lipstick-marked paper airplane sets off in pursuit of Meg, finding her at a flower stand. Recognizing the lipstick-marked paper, she chases the airplane to another train station and aboard a different train. They're finally brought together when both of their trains stop at the same station; George still covered in paper airplanes and Meg holding his lipstick-marked paper airplane. As the credits roll, they are seen chatting happily with each other at a restaurant table with the lipstick marked paper between them.

Review:
'PAPERMAN': Five Stars (Out of Five)A Disney animated short film (that debuted in theaters before 'WRECK-IT RALPH') that tells the story of a New York office worker (sometime in the mid-20th century) who falls for a woman he just met, on his way to work, and is drawn to her through paper (paper airplanes to be more specific).
I absolutely loved the film; it's about as good a short film as I've ever seen (live action or animated)!
At 7 minutes it's hard to rate in comparison with feature length films, so to say this is one of the best movies I've seen all year might be an overstatement, but it's definitely one of the best shorts I've ever seen!Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6yq7kwUUDQ.
But somehow, the crew that put this short movie together, obviously knew how they would construct it in such a manner that it would not only contain emotion, but every kind of emotion that is the basis for many other complex feelings.The story of "paperman" is about a young gentleman who finds the girl of his dreams whom he just happens to run into by fate at a local train station.
During the brief time he spends awkwardly hanging around the confident female, he ends up making a connection with her because of a gust of wind that happened to blow one his papers into her face.
Plus, to make the film feel even more retro, the crew decided to keep the film black and white except for the female's ruby red lipstick that's planted on the man's office paper.
The girl just has a really sweet looking face.Finally, what truly finished off this short film on a strong note was the music produced by composer Christophe Beck.
That's something I'd definitely be up to see because this couple is unbeatable when it comes to love!As probably one of the few short films that I think needed this much credit and justification for its credit, it definitely deserves it.
It's a 7-minute short film, however, it tells us the beginning of love and let us imagine the story which should be continued..
Out of the blue, she takes another train and when he sees, the train in gone with the beautiful girl.During the working period, the impossible happens: the young man sees his dream girl through the window in the building on the other side of the street.
When she leaves the office where she is, the man runs to the street expecting to meet his beloved woman.
The story is lovely and sweet and full of emotions along seven minutes running time: love, disappointment, expectations, frustration, fantasy and romance that entertain a lot.
Paperman is s fantastic short film with a great,touching and heartwarming story.The short was very enjoyable to watch before Wreck It Ralph,and I really like how there bringing short films back,but no one can do it as good as Pixar,howver Disney Animated Studios made a good effort with this,a very good and enjoyable short that will warm your heart.After a big business man discovers a girl who left him a piece of paper with a kiss from her on it,he uses paper airplanes to get her attention,as he discovers her in a building across the way from him.****/*****-DILLON HARRIS.
Oscar nominated, this short film is a simple story of two people who have a chance meeting only for fate to intervene to ensure it is more than just that.
The sight of the main guy being held in his seat by the planes didn't really work for me and I would have preferred a bit more of a "passive" device (eg I preferred the woman's interaction with her plane) but mostly I went with it because I was into the short film.This engagement was achieved by the delicate touches provided in the music and the animation, both of which are excellent.
The story is one that might not work for a few(like with the magic) but one that most people should have no problem with, it has a set-up that has been done numerous times but the way it's told is simply but not simplistically and with much emotion and heart.
"aged" charm to the movie, a soft soundtrack which brings warmth and a story which tugs at the heartstrings yet leaves you feeling better about yourself for watching.Part of its charm is the view of a modern day (possible a couple of decades ago) fairytale, retold in a way that is relatable yet with a bit of Disney magic to give the film a wondrous atmosphere.The mix of sweet and funny moments means its a short film I personally do not tire of and can't help but smile after every viewing.
The story's about a man who meets a woman on a train platform on his way to work.
I stumbled across this short "boy meets girl" film yesterday, and I must have watched it 100 times by now.This is a black and white animated movie.
Children really enjoy silent movies because it still allows for free thought and mental connections.I think that PAPERMAN is a wonderful example of how powerful silent film really is.
A man who has a lot of paper meets a beautiful woman.
I want to know their next story in the end of the short film..
'Paperman' is an animated short created by Disney, it debuted in theaters right before 'WRECK-IT RALPH'.The short tells the story of a New York office worker who's at the train station one day where he suddenly falls for a woman he had just met, throughout the short he is becomes very drawn to her through paper.It's a black-and-white short, witch brings in both emotions and laughter.
A love story flows like a paper plane.
This movie describes a love story of a man and a woman through the paper.
This is a short movie about a man,who encounters a woman and later,he finds the woman in an opposite office building.
This movie is an animated and monochrome film.This movie was not used a lot of colors and sounds.And,this story is simple and short.
After I watched this movie,I was moved by this story.I am interested in a continuation of this especially the scene after meeting again.They may marry.Therefore,I would like to watch this scene..
The story is about a chance encounter and the beginning of love.This film is a typical type of Disney's movie.
This is a typical love story and very simple, but it gives us courage.The man is very active and I think I have much to learn from him because I am a little shy and always hesitate to tell my feelings.
He tries again and again, and finally the last paper with her lipstick mark flies to I like his character because he works as an adult, but his challenge looks like that of a young boy.
A man holding paper falls in love at first sight with beautiful woman at a station.
This story begins with the scene where the man and woman who are waiting for the train appear.
I like this film very much because characters, sound music and animation are totally good.
Since then, he cannot forget her, but, one day, he finds her in the opposite building, and he tries to toss paper planes again and again to get her attention.
A man who has a lot of paper in his hands meet a beautiful lady at a station.
A man and lady both holding lots of paper meet at a station.
When he meet her, when he wants to get her attention, and when he tries to find her, it is interesting that the way of moving of paper.
This short movie is a Disney film which is about an office working man who meets a lady by chance.
My favorite character is the man because his action is out of touch with reality so I can enjoy watching this movie.
The man falls in love with the woman at first sight, but she goes away by train.
However, a lot of paper planes that the man threw give rise to a miracle.This animated film represents two things.
The paper planes standing for the man's love are the evidence.
First, paper planes begin dancing and bring together the man and the woman.
Second, the man is completely absorbed in making the flying paper planes because doing something hard for a person is marvelous.This movie is one of my favorite movies.
A man and a woman meet at the terminal because of a sheet of paper blown off by the wind.
This short animation story makes progress by many pieces of paper and paper planes.
Though there are no words and no scenes where the man and the woman have a conversation in this short film, sheets of paper play an important part in their communication.
The music in this film is rhythmical and describes the movement of paper planes and the relationship between the man and the woman well.
This hand-drawn Walt Disney animated short is one I just saw with my movie theatre-working friend before the feature Wreck-It Ralph.
The title character is a paper pusher at a corporate company who meets a lovely lady on the way to work.
Many people may say that this film is a beautiful love story.
He wants her to notice himself so he makes many paper planes from his documents and throws to her office again and again.
Another example of "less is more"Because the film is in black ands white and takes place in New York it gives this short movie an extra romantic atmosphere.
In the end, many paper airplanes that he folds and fly work a miracle him.The film is a short film.
In this story,a lot of airplanes made by the young salary man portray his real feeling toward the young woman he met at the station.And he also seemed to desire to escape from his featureless daily life.A lot of people in our society have the same desire for escaping like that man,but we cannot help managing our daily tasks.I think romantic feeling will drive us to live more excitingly than before,and that kind of feeling can relieve us of melancholy for our daily jobs.Romantic feeling can change our daily lives,so we should recognize our real feeling toward someone.Energy for romance can sometimes be more powerful than energy for work..
"Paperman" is a wonderful Disney film that shows love, destiny, chance and inevitability.
The story is about a man who meets a woman by chance, which he won't be able to forget.
A man cannot forget a woman since their accidental meeting and tries to get her attention by using paper planes.
The color used in this film is mainly black and white, but the red color is only used on woman's lips and the mark of her lips on the paper.
This charming Oscar winning Disney short cartoon was shown in the cinemas with Wreck-It Ralph.A black and white cartoon with a hint of rouge about an office worker waiting for the train who with the aid of some paper being blown by the wind falls for a woman going on another train.Serendipity has it for him.
As he is toiling in his office under his stern boss he catches a glimpse of her in the next building and tries to attract her attention by throwing a paper aeroplane, one after another.This short does not outstay its welcome as we see our hapless hero desperately trying to contact the girl of his affections..
I has been sensed his love from his figure that find the woman to the next building and flied papers plane to the building's window.
I love this film because I feel so happy after watching it.
Disney's movie has many love stories, however it is a new type of it.
I think this film is hidden fine work of Walt Disney Animation.
This film, made by Disney, starts with a scene in which a man happens to meet a woman.
After they separate, he finds that she works in an office which is in the opposite building of his and tries to make contact with her.Disney has created a lot of fantastic films concerning magic.
When a man is standing on a platform, one of the papers which he is carrying is blown off, and it sticks to a woman's face next to him.
This is a love story animation from Disney.
He wants to be noticed by her, so he tried to fly the paper plane to her from his office's window.
It is the romantic love story that a young man who leads a boring life has a chance encounter with a young woman that changes his life dramatically.
I think one reason why Walt Disney films have been seen and loved globally for a long time is that they have a haunting and a memorable melody.
Introducing a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer- generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with "Paperman." Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute.
This film is short animation's movie.
This is pixar movie which is about a man's love for a woman.
What can i say more Disney excels every time they made many shorts before this & in animated full length films they are masters when they team up with Pixar studios.This 7 minutes short is the most amazing experience ever its got everything from great story to awesome visuals most of all the exploration of a one sided love story.The Plot:a guy is going to his office in the morning using the local train he meets a lovely girl & begins to fall for her soon she disappears feeling sad he reaches his office on top floors in new york city he spots her in another skyscraper building window hoping his luck would work this time he uses paper made airplanes trying to get her attention.This project includes some of the funniest comedy scenes ever i enjoyed every bit of it i loved the one when he is wasting all of his important work papers just to make plane out of them the boss suddenly comes up & tells him to stop it.The story is set in around 1950's decade no color is used here its all black & white,Paperman 2012 won Oscar it totally deserves it.The dude keep trying hard to throw paper planes outside until one of them would reach her room the climax is superb i won't spoil it here i saw this months ago but every time i think about it i laugh out loud to put it simply it is one of those shorts that stays fresh in your memory you wish it was a full movie.Overall Paperman 2012 is another unforgettable masterpiece from Disney my rating is 10/10:Highly Recommended.
Paperman is a short and sweet love story from Disney that delivers more in 6 minutes than many modern Disney films deliver in 90 to 120.
if I think a film is incredible it gets a 10Paperman gets a 10Sure, the story is simple, guy sees girl at train station, guy sees girl again, guy goes after girl, guy fails, love finds a way, happy days.
I like the part where the man throws the paper airplane and it doesn't go well every time.
This is a nice story.I could watch over how the man and the woman meet again.When I watched this film, I could have a feeling which I have when I fall in love.
The papers he throws move as if they actually had lives and tries to make the man and the woman meet.
I think it expresses man's single-minded feeling to the woman.This story is only 7-minutes long, a short story.
It's a beautiful story about a lonesome man bored by his office-work and everyday routine, when he meets a woman who's like a fresh breeze of life that rocks his world.
A man falls in love with a woman in a station because of one paper.
He makes many paper planes and throws them to her.I love everything of this movie so much.
Short and sweet black and white animation that is nearly as good as the film it preceded.
I watched this again earlier on my rental copy of 'Wreck-It Ralph,' which I slightly prefer to this short.The animation has a stylistic black and white look to it (with the exception of the lady's lips and lipstick mark on the man's sheet of paper) and is smooth throughout.
On the way to work, a man misses his chance of meeting a beautiful woman as she boards her train and tries to win her heart with paper planes, much to the annoyance of his boss.
This movie is short, sweet and to the point and yet still you feel that you've just sat through an epic love story.
This is a story of the man who loves a woman.
This is a story of the man who loves a woman.
Paperman is an excellent animated short film that pictures love and its ability to overcome all circumstances.
(Magic is at work you see.) Then the woman sees a paper airplane and begins to chase it (the lipstick marked one, as a matter of fact.) They are both led to the train station again, and are reunited.
What I like the best in the story is that paper make them meet again finally.
Paper moves as if it has a feeling, and makes this story interesting.
