paperman 160x59 Disneys Paperman Gets Facebook Page, SynopsisA Facebook page for Disney’s Paperman, the mysterious animated short oft said to revolutionize and breathe new life into traditional animation has surfaced, offering an official mini-synopsis of the short:

‘The story of a young man in NYC relying on his heart, imagination, a stack of papers—and a little luck—to win the girl of his dreams.’

Digging a little deeper, the page also has this to add regarding the film:

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. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Paperman pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction.

For more in-depth reviews and technical explanations behind the technology used in the short, some tidbits have been posted in this thread at DVDizzy.com.

Although some believe the short may will be making its theatrical debut in front of Walt Disney Animation Studio’s Wreck-It Ralph, Disney has made no official announcements as to plans for the short.
