After reading about Brander Matthews’ views regarding the construction of ‘Short-Stories’ I was reminded of this short animated piece that I stumbled upon a few weeks ago. ‘An Object at Rest’ tells a story that spans an immense period of time, however it moves quickly and remains entirely focused on a single character (the Mountain). It also doesn’t bother dealing with any additional/unnecessary information and I certainly think it stands strong as a singular & unified story.
