MoonGirl Magic

Well it's been a busy week for me, so I haven't gotten to post much or reply much....boo hiss!

But I did want to post this charmingly creative video from YouTube. This magical film short by Henry Selick was produced by none other than Laika. You may recognize that name associated with ParaNorman that I blogged about earlier in the week. What a stellar outfit they are. And Selick's film short is now going to be made into a children's book/DVD combo which will be the first time a film short has been distributed through the book industry. Kudos on that!

The first thing I adore about this is the name...."MoonGirl"! That alone makes me want to watch it. But the video is just so very enchanting that it deserves to be shared and enjoyed. And the animation is fabulous as well of course. I just love creative people who share their genius with the world! Hope you all can get outdoors this weekend and enjoy the MOON, now that you'll know the real story behind its luminosity! Enjoy! (But beware of the Gargaloons)
