If You Haven’t Seen The Oscar-Winning Animated Short ‘Hair Love,’ Here It Is

2020-02-19T22:17:25.404Z

One of the hardest things about Oscar season is how tricky it can be to see some of the films that get the nominations and prizes. The Oscars fall in that weird time after many of the featured movies have left theaters, but before they’re available to buy, rent, or stream. And short films? Those are almost never in theaters to begin with, so what’s an Oscar fan to do? Well, lucky for us, if you want to see the Oscar-winning short Hair Love in its entirety, you can do that (for free!) because the entire film is on YouTube.

Hair Love, which took home the award for Best Animated Short Film, was created by filmmaker Matthew A. Cherry, and tells the heartfelt story of an African American father learning — “with a little bit of work and a whole lot of love” — to do his daughter’s hair for the first time.

The truth is that there’s still a lot of ignorance and racism in the U.S. surrounding black hairstyles (and the school dress codes that sometimes unfairly target them), and films like Hair Love will help combat that. The short is absolutely touching, and its core message, which is about the love between a father and his daughter, will resonate with viewers from all kinds of families, no matter what their hair looks like.

De La Soul Say “Selling Out” In The ’80s Is Seen As “Extensive Branding” Today (Video)

De La Soul has stood the test of time simply because they were different and weren’t afraid to be themselves. When you look back at their musical contribution it still pays dividends in the form of touring which they still do to this day. But, even trendsetters get inspiration from those around them and for the legendary group it was watching NWA in 1989 that had the biggest impact on them. The goosebumps…the high of just seeing how fans responded to their music singing word for word even down to the transitions sparked something that will inevitably take the group into more than 20 years of killing shows.

Of course when you do something new or different you will be faced with opposition and they faced it head on. Hitting the stage with Bob Dylan at times or making similar moves just to break barriers of what was deemed “the usual”. Fast forward to today, Kaytranada opened up for Madonna which is incredible! Without artists like De La Soul, that wouldn’t be possible. It says something when these guys are still able to tour and are now on their 9th studio album. Longevity at its finest.
