	Best in Show Award The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore Directed by William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg present a hybrid style of animation that harkens back to silent films and Technicolor musicals.

On their way into the abyss, they transform into inhuman and distorted creatures that finally become part of the history of hate.
