Take 15 minutes and enjoy this short film with your family.
You may remember reading about the iPad interactive storybook based on this short film.
I promise you won’t regret watching this.
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.
I’ve watched it twice, now, and will probably watch it again:

Brilliant.
I think I’ll go write the story that’s been brewing in me for years.
How about you?
