The Monk and The Fish

The Monk and The Fish (French: Le Moine et Le Poisson) is a 1994 animated short film made by Michaël Dudok de Wit at the studio Folimage. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 67th Academy Awards and Best Short Animated Film at the 48th British Academy Film Awards. From my perspective, this 6 minute film depicts an angler's progression from deep desire to catch and obtain all the way to a place where coexistence and harmony become more important.
