The Fantastic App of Mr. Morris Lessmore

So, I'm not much of an Oscar viewer. I used to really look forward to the awards ceremony. But in recent years, probably as a result of having two little kids at home, I've morphed into my parents. I haven't seen any of the movies, I hate staying up past 10, and I find myself squinting at the screen and muttering things like, "Who is that and why is her dress so short?" until I get depressed and go to bed. At 10. So I pretty much skipped the Oscars this year. There was, however, one bit of Oscar news I was really happy to hear - The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, directed by William Joyce and Brandon Oldenberg, won the award for Best Animated Short. I was excited about this not because I'd seen the short (I hadn't), but because I really love the app that they made along with it.
