In an astounding move, John Kahrs, director of the Oscar-winning animated short Paperman, is set to leave Disney. An unofficial resignation came from a post on the Disney Animators Twitter account, when the Mouse House wished him luck. Kahrs has not said anything about where he is going or what he is going to do, but it must be an exciting opportunity to leave after a big win like Paperman. We can only think (and hope) that Kahrs will be adding his creative juices to another animated project in the near future.
