3. The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
The award-winning short film is now an interactive narrative experience. William Joyce's "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr.Morris Lessmore", blurs the line between picture books and animated film. 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. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques like miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation, award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films.
Based on a short film of the same name, the interactive eBook has 27 pages with some sort of interactive feature. The user can help Morris Lessmore repair books, play the piano, and spin Lessmore's house around in the air when it gets picked up by a tornado.
