Fresh Guacamole is a 2012 American animated short film written and directed by PES. The film was nominated for the Best Animated Short Film award of the 85th Academy Awards, losing to Paperman. At one minute 36 seconds, it is the shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar. The film uses pixilation to depict a man making guacamole out of obscure objects, which become different items whenever they are cut, often depending on (unspoken) puns. For example, a baseball is cut in half and then becomes a pile of dice while it is being diced. Each of the objects also vaguely resembles an ingredient actually used in guacamole. For example, a green decorative lightbulb resembles a jalapeño pepper, a pincushion resembles a tomato, and a grenade resembles an avocado.
