Forevergreen | Academy Award-Nominated Animated Short Film

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 12:01:55 +0000

Nominated for the Academy Award® for Best Animated Short Film.

Forevergreen is a heartfelt animated short film about an orphaned bear cub who finds a home with a fatherly evergreen tree. Their peaceful bond is tested when the cub’s hunger for trash leads him into danger.

Created as an after-hours passion project, Forevergreen was brought to life by more than 200 dedicated artists and technicians who donated their free time and talent to craft every frame. The production took over 5 years to complete, combining handmade artistry, innovative animation techniques, heart, humor, and emotional storytelling.

Directed by Nathan Engelhardt and Jeremy Spears, Forevergreen is a touching story about family, survival, nature, and the unexpected places we find home.

Why Are There No 3D Storytime Animators?

Why are there so few 3D storytime animators?

In this video, we explore why 3D storytime animation has not become as popular as traditional 2D animation, even though 3D tools are more accessible than ever. From technical barriers and learning curves to style expectations, production time, and audience preferences, there are several reasons why creators may avoid 3D for story-based animation content.

We also look at whether stylized 3D animation could become the next big thing for storytellers, and what might need to change for more creators to try it.
