More than just a display of impeccable stop-motion technique, “Lost & Found” is a love story in miniature with selflessness at its heart from directors Andrew Goldsmith and Bradley Slabe. It made the Academy’s 10-film Oscar shortlist this year, though it didn’t clinch a nomination. If you admire the effort, the behind-the-scenes video, below, is worth a look.
