The Book That Gets Attention AND Eats People

A fine review of The Book That Eats People from Lee Littlewood. Under the title – Books That Foster a Sense of Humor in Your Child. I’m just glad she referred to the illustrations as “super-active” and not a negative combo of adjectives.
Read it online. Or below.

Short schedule animated shorts

This is an animated short I directed and wrote for Pearson Television back when they were still called Pearson Television.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

The trailer is finally up for The Fantastic Mr. Fox. The animated film directed by Wes Anderson.
I’m very interested to see this as I mentioned in a past post. While I’m not expert in this, I can’t think of another live action director/screenwriter who has moved over to animated feature films in their directing career. [...]

Cormac McCarthy Picture Books

I love Cormac McCarthy’s books. I know, I know. Big suprise. It’s not like he isn’t recognized for being, you know, a good writer. I read The Road like 19 times in two weeks when it came out. I don’t think the ending is depressing. I think it is actually hopeful. A bit dark…yes. But [...]
