The Little Girl Who Was Forgotten By Absolutely Everyone (Even the Postman)-Katy Towell - (2005)

The tale of a small child named Emmeline who's forgotten by absolutely everyone... even the postman.

"Once upon a time there was a little girl...no; no that isnt right, you see; it wasnt just any time and this wasnt just any little girl. 

This story is about Emmeline and it happened a long time ago, in a town that doesnt exist...at least not anymore... 

Emmeline was three-the only child of a curator and a soprano. She had anything a child could want...but there was one problem...Emmeline had been forgotten by absolutely everyone."

Written, illustrated, and animated by Katy Towell in 2005.
Narrated by Tim Jones.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore-William Joyce, Brandon Oldenburg-2010



Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor.
Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story.

Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience
that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals.
“Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

“The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” is one of five animated short films that will be considered for outstanding film achievements of 2011 in the 84th Academy Awards.
