The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore


The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore from Moonbot Studios on Vimeo.

If you like books, you should like this. "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" is an animation about the power of books and the words they hold inside.. The whole feel of the piece is reminiscent of cinema of old. There are many references throughout this short to the golden age of cinema like the Wizard of Oz, Fred Astaire movies and their large choreographed dance numbers and silent movies. The whole short film feels both old fashioned but new at the same time, probably due to the range of techniques used to create the work like miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation. Watch it and see for yourself.
