5. Mourir Auprès De Toi (To Die By Your Side)
Directors: Spike Jonze, Simon Cahn (France/USA) The Parisian bookshop Shakespeare and Co provides a perfect backdrop for a romance literally torn from the pages of the classics. But, as with all magic, it happens when no one is watching. The owner shuts up shop for the night, unaware that his stock has suddenly spring to life. And so it is that Mina Harker, waking unscathed from Dracula's grasp, lures a skeleton lover (himself stepping off the cover of Macbeth, sword still stuck in his side) into her bed with a less than subtle gesture. Rushing across the shelf to meet her, he is struck by the cruel hand (or head) of fate... Inventive, charming and unexpectedly rude - this stop motion surprise really does have everything. Just don't let your kids watch the closing credits sequence, otherwise you'll have to answer some rather awkward questions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7YZtUY0Mic
