The Flying Sailor is based on the Halifax Explosion of 1917 when two ships collided in the Halifax Harbour causing the largest accidental explosion in history.

The animated short film "The Flying Sailor" is about the near-death experience of an old sailor after an explosion at a pier. The blending of hand-painted 2D drawings with computer-animated 3D animations is what I would call a success. The "plot" is also straightforward, and the film is not overly long. It isn't exactly the best thing I have ever seen, but it's perfectly adequate. Furthermore, anyone who was hoping for more dicks in the other Oscar-nominated short film "My Year of Dicks" will get their money's worth here.

Artistically excellent, but misses that spark that can make it unique.

I was familiar with the history of the explosion (largest non-nuclear man-made detonation ever) but not about the "sailor–protagonist" (shall I say, to avoid even the hint of a spoiler). The animation is very well done. A very worthwhile 8 minutes.

It's probably just as well that the eponymous sailor is long dead for I don't think he'd be terribly impressed with the body these animators have decided to give him! He is strolling the harbour of Halifax when a sudden explosion as two ships appear to collide propels him up into the air, strips him More
