"The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore"
by William Joyce & Brandon Oldenburg
“Mr. Morris Lessmore" was awarded the Oscar® for Best Animated Short Film in the 84th Academy Awards® in 2012.
Inspired 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.
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 M-G-M Technicolor musicals. The Fantastic Flying Books
of Mr. Morris Lessmore is old-fashioned and cutting edge at the same
time.
