1001 Animated Shorts You Must See - The Full List (1001 movies items)
"DIR: Sejong Park SUMMARY: Manuk, a young boy playing alone in war-torn Korea, receives what he thinks is a birthday present. WHY IT'S HERE: Sejong Park's 'Birthday Boy' was a major Oscar contender in its year that has sadly been largely forgotten since then. A tender, very sad story of little Manuk who spends his birthday playing alone in war-torn Korean streets, 'Birthday Boy' has a devastating gut-punch ending which is so subtly dropped in that it's easy to miss the significance first time"
