The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore

The complete version of Moonbot Studios' The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore is up on Vimeo these days. This piece has been nominated for best animated short film in the 2012 Oscars. It's an endearing, speechless anecdote about the magic, mystery, and tenderness of our beloved books...and reminds me of the sweet eight wordless minutes in "Up" when the story of Carl & Ellie's life together unfolds.

Besides, who doesn't want to be oh so in-the-know as you're watching the Oscars and be able to say you've actually seen one of the nominated short films?
