The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

I found this video a few years ago, but it keeps being removed from its original source. I’m hoping this link will survive! This is a short animated film about the importance of books to the protagonist. The books bring colour and emotion into this man’s life, and he passes these experiences on to the people of the community through his own small library of sorts. He plays the role of a readers advisor librarian, in a sense, so that the “patrons” can experience the joys of the books as well. Very sweet, and worth a watch if you enjoy reading (or watching animated short films, for that matter). Enjoy!
