“It seems impossible that Maurice Sendak could die.  He was that elemental to children’s literature and the entire culture.  We may have lost the King of all Wild Things but his wild rumpus will never end.” – William Joyce

Moonbot working with local schools

Last Friday Caddo Middle Magnet eighth graders Nick Hobbs, Ben Smith, and Cameron Smith paid a visit to Moonbot Studios to get a better understanding of what it's like to work in the animation industry. We hope the students enjoyed their visit and look forward to receiving demo reels from them in the future.

 Moonbot animator Beavan Blocker was excited to be the opening speaker of the 2012 SCVAF Awards Banquet in Luling, Louisiana. The Saellite Center Video and Animation Festival was established to "help foster an appreciation for the video & animation fields and allow high school students to network with professionals in these fields."

 

Morris Lessmore-inspired Poetry

Ms. Mary M Miller, third grade teacher at the American Embassy School in New Delhi, says: " Our students were so inspired by your film and are excited to share some of their poetry."

With Ms. Miller's permission, we are excited to be able to share the beautiful poems penned by these talented 3rd graders.

A Circle Story
(Inspired by Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore)
Tumbling, Turning, Twisting storm
Blows you away from your home
The colors change from bright to dull
The happiness has disappeared in the storm
Flying person passes you being flown by books
Give you one and flies to a library
There you spend the rest of your life
Returning happiness to your town
Then you start flying, flown by books
Give a child a book, your life’s story
Then it starts again.
