The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore (from 2011) won the Oscar for Best Animated Short at Sunday's Academy Awards. Above, we’ve embedded the complete book-loving film.This 15-minute short is the first made by Moonbot Studios, a fledgling animation shop in Shreveport, Louisiana. For their efforts, Moonbot’s founders (who include acclaimed author and illustrator William Joyce) received an Oscar! Congratulations. We love Willam Joyce!
