...Okay , I had very little time , and wanted to get this up .
I didn't see any reference to this here (looking pretty fast) , so I put this up . I did think that someone would have heard of them , that there was a likely a post about them , even an article .
Anyhow , 'ya go .

...Really , the theatrical one , " Life , Animated " had the " prestige " of a theatrical release , while the PBS-shown one (Assuming it was on all/most of the network) would have had the opportunity to be seen by anyone in the US who has a TV and an electric power source (I don't have a TV , myself ) - Were they just so " discussed-here " before that no one wanted to reward my " you talked about it too late " by answering me ?

..." Animated " concerns itself w/an AU kid who is brought out of his shell by his love of classic (recent era only , I suppose ) Disney animation ~ With the (it seems to me) unspoken subtext that Disney doesn't make feature cel animation no' mo' !

..." Tommy ! " deals w/a 60-yr-old AU man whose great ambition is to be a big-band singer , sing for a Miller/Ellington/Basie/Dorsey , et al , -style " orchestra " _ I would presume he achieves said ambition ! This is a documentary for " nice " PBS , after all - Plus , he's described as having a " golden voice " (Hope for my vocal ambitions .........
