This short film gave me ALL OF THE FEELS!
Posted: November 8, 2013 Filed under: On writing | Tags: muses, writing Leave a commentI while ago I reviewed the children’s picture book The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore. My son got it for his fourth birthday, and I loved it — it’s such a sweet metaphor for books as a source of healing after disasters.
Then my boy wanted to see the short film on which the book was based, so we watched it together. In the video version, the other subplot, about Morris rediscovering his muse and getting his own book to “fly” (a metaphor for not sucking) is more prominent and just as beautiful.
It’s fifteen minutes long, but well worth your time.
ALL OF THE FEELS, YOU GUYS!
