Awesome Bookish Short Film

I was made aware of this by Rina@ Rina's Reading and I just had to share it with you all! This video just makes me smile. And yes I know it's 15 minutes long, but trust me, if you love books it's worth it!


Summary from IMBD:
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. 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 hybrid style of animation that harkens back to silent films and MGM Technicolor musicals. Morris Lessmore is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.
