The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore Wins an Oscar


The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (from 2011) won the Oscar for Best Animated Short at Sunday's Academy Awards. Above, we’ve embedded the complete book-loving film. This 15-minute short is the first made by Moonbot Studios, a fledgling animation shop in Shreveport, Louisiana. For their efforts, Moonbot’s founders (who include acclaimed author and illustrator William Joyce) received an Oscar! Congratulations. We love Willam Joyce!
