Kind of goes like this....
Someone tells me about a book explaining that children who are not read to cannot visualize or "play movies" in their head. The children have always had images shown to them via computers/TV so they miss learning how to create the images for themselves.
So I start thinking about -what if- in the future-only a small group can visualize and they create and control all the images.
And how would they use that power. Eeeek.
Grab a book. Save the World !!
But watch this Oscar Nominated Video first.
Oh the irony....
"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 ®."
"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."
