| User ReviewJoshua LEasily the best Animated Short of 2012. This outstanding Walt Disney Animation Studios production melds hand-drawn black & white sketches and CG animation. |
| User ReviewCask Tsimple, noir, heartfelt and something that reminds you of the 90's Pixar shorts. |
| User ReviewAdriano BThe short-feature in company of the bigger brother Wreck it Ralph outshines the latter in every respect. Black and white 2D wins over hypercolorful CGI. Sometimes, less is better. |
| User ReviewAndy HBetter than Wreck-It-Ralph. Beautiful, loved it. |
| User ReviewDennis NAbsolutamente fantástico! Me alegra mucho haber podido ver este corto que dieron en el cine antes del filme Wreck-it Ralph. Este corto es una obra de arte, me encanta que hayan elegido utilizar animación convencional, en blanco y negro y sin diálogos. Una historia tierna y romántica, que espero la tomen en cuenta para premios en la categorÃa de cortos animados. |
| User ReviewCarabo PTruly beautiful. I shed so many tears toward the end because of how much it touched my heart and soul! Considering I've never felt love from someone, this film really filled me with hope. Disney you've done it again. |
| User ReviewTristan PInnovative, beautiful and touching. If this is the way to bring the look of hand-drawn animation back to the big screen I'm all for it. |
| User ReviewApoach CVery moving piece that is only a short movie before Wreck it Ralph. This movie had more emotional power than the full movie that followed. |
| User ReviewYash BCute and sweet. Does what an animated short should do, which is putting a smile on your face. |
| User ReviewIndira SIt's a fantastic short, it show once again what the Disney studios are able to realize. Paperman is a must see and would be a deserved winner of the Oscar for best animated short. It's silent but beautiful. |
