Lifted (2006)

This short from Pixar Studios is the perfect blend of sci fi pastiche and performance comedy. It shows a love of the genre and a perfect narrative for a short animation. The short was shown alongside Ratatouille and has since won an Academy Award for the best short animation. I think this has a beautiful style and demonstrates the love of the genre.
