Oscar season is over, but I stumbled across this winner the other day, and couldn't help but share. The Oscar winner for the best animated short for 2012 was "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore" a charming cartoon inspired by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books. If that mix of inspirations doesn't intrigue you I don't know what will.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adzywe9xeIU?rel=0]
To learn a little more about the film I would suggest reading Mat Goldberg's article "Must-Watch: Best Animated Short Oscar Winner, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" on Collider.com. Want to know more about the Oscar's Animated Short category? Peruse "Best Animated Short", by Richard Corliss on Time Entertainment, for a few facts and a rundown of the 2012 contenders.
Next week... well I don't know what I'll post next week. You'll have to check back to find out.
