The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
February 2nd, 2012Wow, and then there's this video - try to carve 15 minutes out of your day to watch and enjoy:
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
by Moonbot StudiosInspired, 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.
The only criticism I could make is this: scotch tape?!?!

It’s an ebook available for download to your iPad. And you should buy it! The artist/designer is an alum of a college where I used to teach. Support local artists!
