Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film!

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore won this award.   And it's terrific.  One of the Youtube commenter put it well: "We all start out writing our life's story, Then all at once some event comes along that shake things up, For a time, we mourn the loss of what we had, But then we rediscover ourselves, We find our true place in the world, And finally we begin to write a story that we are most proud of, We share our lives, And enrich the lives of those around us, Until finally, we've come full circle, And we make a confident exit, Leaving behind a legacy of our own."  All about helping people appreciate reading, books, and life.  My favorite scene, where he floats away on the string of books. I guess the company that made this is based out of Texas.  Here's a nice piece on them.
