    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments5408 Views

    Feature filmmaker Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball, The Kite Runner) directed “Lost & Found,” one in a series of three :60s making their broadcast debut during the Oscar telecast (2/26) on ABC. The other two :60s were helmed, respectively, by movie directors Antoine Fuqua and the team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg

    The premise of each short film centers on “how every receipt tells a story,” with the directors being challenged to illustrate their vision for one receipt containing bananas, paper towels, batteries, scooter, wrapping paper and a video baby monitor. The three creative films are part of Walmart’s larger multi-year partnership with the Academy Awards that is aimed at highlighting Walmart’s commitment to the art of storytelling. Walmart is also be making a $250,000 donation to The Academy Grants Program for FilmCraft.

    In “Lost & Found,” several of these receipt items are lost and then found by different youngsters from different parts of the world who find value in them. Forster helmed the spot via Tool of North America.

    Top Spot of the Week: Disney, Director Taika Waititi, adam&eveDDB Team On “Best Christmas Ever”

    Thursday, November 13, 2025

    Disney invites audiences into a heartwarming original story with A Disney Holiday Short: Best Christmas Ever, directed by Academy Award® winner Taika Waititi via production company Hungry Man. Premiering on Disney+ and online, and featuring the voice of John Goodman as Doodle, the short serves as the creative centerpiece of Disney’s new “Make Someone’s Holiday Magic” campaign.

    At the center of the story is a little girl and her doodle who comes to life on Christmas Day after Santa mistakes the drawing for a holiday wish. The short follows the charming story of the friendship between the girl and the animated product of her imagination during this magical season in a uniquely Disney way. The film ends with a call to action for viewers, “Make Someone’s Holiday Magic,” which serves as the tagline for Disney’s holiday campaign this year. Renowned Walt Disney Animation Studios animator Eric Goldberg, the creator of beloved Disney characters such as Genie from Aladdin (1992), acted as an advisor on the animation of the short in collaboration with Untold Studios, Hungry Man and creative agency adam&eveDDB.

    This short follows last year’s Emmy®-nominated, A Disney Holiday Short: The Boy & The Octopus, also directed by Waititi, whose numerous Disney credits include Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), and Searchlight Pictures’ Jojo Rabbit (2019), for which he won an Oscar® for Best Adapted Screenplay.

    “What makes this story uniquely Disney is the fact that it’s set in the world of a kid. It’s a kid and her new best friend, navigating the complex world together, and doing it just with the power of friendship and imagination,”... Read More
