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 ®.
Hace no mucho tiempo, leímos sobre un extraño descubrimiento en la isla japonesa de Yonaguni. Kihachirō Aratake, submarinista japonés, hallaba bajo el mar en el año 1985 lo que parecían ser las ruinas de una antigua civilización. Entre las estructuras encontradas, destaca una enorme pirámide monolítica… Hemos rescatado esta fantástica historia para crear una pieza de vídeo inspirados en ella. El resultado se llama Yonaguni.

Pixar animator created this amazing book for ipad. The animations and interactivity are crazy amazing.
Oscar-winning director Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoque) met acclaimed designer and artist Javier Mariscal ten years ago when he asked him to create a poster for his Latin jazz documentary Calle 54. So began a fruitful collaboration that saw Mariscal design all the artwork for Trueba’s Calle 54 Records, make animated pop promos for the label, and together create a jazz-music restaurant in Madrid. Says Mariscal, “It was like, you find a new brother. So quickly, he’s a very, very close friend.”
The idea to make an animated feature film emerged out of one of those pop promos, La Negra Tomasa by Cuban musician Compay Segundo. “Fernando saw it,” says Mariscal, “and said, ‘Whoah, this is fantastic! I love how is Havana.’”
Mariscal’s younger brother Tono Errando is one of four siblings working at Barcelona’s Studio Mariscal. With a background in music, film and animation, he leads the audio-visual side of the multi-disciplinary creative company, and was the logical choice to connect the creative energies of Trueba and Mariscal. Says Errando, “Trueba never had any experience making animation. Mariscal had never made a film. How could we work in a way that they could bring all their talents?”
