Bookish Finds is a feature here at That Artsy Reader Girl, where I highlight awesome bookish things I come across during my exciting life.
I'm sure many of you remember the video I posted back in January called The Joy of Books. It was a fun little stop motion animation of what books do in bookstores at night, when the lights are off. Today, I want to share with you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. I love the 3D animation and the whimsical imagery, not to mention the wonderful message: books add color and excitement to our world by being our friends and taking us on unimaginable journeys—our most loyal friends forever. I wish my books flew around, danced with me, and ate cereal with me in the mornings! I'll admit, I cried a little. It's a sweet story. :) Enjoy!

So? What did you think? :) Have a lovely Saturday!

I have seen this a few times and it never gets old. Isn't it fantastic? It was nice to watch it again.

I saw this video on a blog friend's website and thought it was AMAZING! I think it won the Oscar for short film this year as well. The ending made me tear up a bit. But this is such a beautiful video.
ReplyDeleteI love your bookish finds, thanks for sharing!
