Each year around Oscars time, the films nominated for Best Animated Short are shown at selected venues across the States. However, most years the 5 or 6 nominees are only about an hour long, or less. So they also include several so-called 'Commended films'...ones that apparently are very good but did not earn a nomination.

As for "Weeds", it's really too simple a film to give it a higher score. However the animation is excellent. It's a story about a dandelion that is dying on a dry patch of lang...and what it does in order to try to survive.
