Review of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (2012) by Jonny P — 12 Mar 2013
"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.
