Mount Head (Japanese: 頭山, Hepburn: Atama-yama) is a 2002 Japanese cartoon short. It was nominated at the 75th Academy Awards in the category of Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. [1]

Plot

A stingy man eats the pits of some cherries, causing a tree to grow on top of his head. When crowds start converging on his head and be noisy, he uproots the tree, creating a lake. After that, a lot of anglers converge on this lake, and his head is too noisy again and fish hooks are hooking to the man sometimes. So this man throws himself into a pond to commit suicide.
