Moonbot Studios, led by ex-Pixar animator William Joyce, has released the award-winning short film 'The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore' as an interactive iPad book.
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 (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 and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. "Morris Lessmore" is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.
Features: ● Groundbreaking interface that's actually fun ● A visual table of contents that anyone can follow ● Loads of games ● You can draw ● Play the piano ● Play with your food ● Lots of expensive beautiful animation ● Get sucked into the book with immers-o-vision (patent pending) ● Will make you laugh ● Will make you sigh ● And maybe make you cry (in a good way) ● Will make you love reading
What's New In This Version: "About the Short Film" page update: You can now purchase the award-winning short film directly from the App, on the iTunes store.
You can purchase The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore from the App Store for $4.99.
