iPad recommendation: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

If you have an iPad and kids (even if you don't have kids really) I highly recommend The Fantasic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore interactive book and short film. I was curious to see who created this because it reminded me a lot of Pixar animation. There is a good reason, it was made by a former Pixar animator, William Joyce with Moonbot Studios.

Description from iTunes:
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.
