Fantastic Flying Books
The Oscar winner for best animated short of 2011, the full title of this work is The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. After a hurricane strikes New Orleans, Morris Lessmore finds himself carried away to a desolate, black-and-white land filled with debris from the city. All seems bleak until the flying books arrive to restore color and vitality to his life. This short not only celebrates literature and the power of an active imagination, but offers some lovely homages to Buster Keaton and The Wizard of Oz. William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg directed from a story by Joyce.
