The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
Nominated for an oscar for best animated short film!
I have only watched once so far, and I do like the story and clear references to the original narratives it takes inspiration from. I think the character animation is weak in the beginning during the storm- it seemed like they were trying too hard to hit the slapstick, rubbery look of Loony Toons and actually looped back around to stiffness. A good example of what they were trying to achieve can be found in Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, where the animation really hits the mark in translating that style over to 3D (I think I posted something about this a long time ago).
Anyway, will update more with multiple viewings, enjoy!
