Mt. Head
is a 2002 anime short film. It was nominated at the 75th Academy Awards in the category of Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. Plot It is based on Japanese ''rakugo'' of the same title, with a slightly modernized setting. A stingy man eats the pits of some cherries, causing a tree to grow on top of his head. When crowds start converging and partying on his head, being noisy, he gets annoyed and uproots the tree. Rainwater pours in the hole, creating a lake. After that, a lot of swimmers converge on this lake, and his head is too noisy again. Enraged, the man commits suicide by throwing himself into the lake on his own head. Plot of the original ''rakugo'' version The original differs in that he ate just one cherry with its pit, and instead of swimmers, a lot of anglers converge on his lake and fish hooks are hooked to the man's eyelid and nose.
