"The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" has such a creative and imaginative artistic vision that it is no surprise that it received the Oscar for Best Animated Short. The musical soundtrack, comprised of variations on "Pop Goes the Weasle," has a whimsical feel that creates magic within this animation. The concept is really cool but the execution is perfect. Little details, like the way that the Humpty Dumpty book communicates and the inspiration drawn from Hurricane Katrina, put this short onto a level of greatness. In an age of video technology, "Mr. Morris Lessmore" reminds us of the nostalgia and comfort of sitting down with a good book.

This 15 minute animated short should win the Oscar in its category. It looks amazing and the narrative touches the heart. A man sits on his veranda in Louisiana writing a book. A storm blows in like the tornado swooping in on the farm house in The Wizard of Oz. The letters are blown off the book's pages and everything is trashed in town. Things turn black and white. This was when I first noticed how much the main character was designed to look like Buster Keaton. Eventually he is led to an old library. Inside he finds the fantastic flying books and is restored to color. He finds joy and adventure amongst the books. The man starts lending out books and in Pleasantville fashion more people are turned from gray to color. The man starts writing his book again and lives a long life in service to the flying books. Another great story dealing with the theme of literacy that would make a great companion piece to Hugo.

This Oscar winning short film has some love animation, but little else.
