Oliver Jeffers’s Lost and Found animated

I have not seen this book before but the picture below alone is enough to make me want to see the book and the movie. Also, I can't reiterate more strongly the adaptation sentiment expressed below - why take something everyone loved and then change it? Happened to The Dark is Rising, Eragon and others that I can't think of.

Other than Disney/ Pixar - who is runnig short films anymore? Not enough studios, IMO.

Oliver Jeffers's Lost and Found animated

Check out these gorgeous preview images of STUDIOaka's animated adaptation of Oliver Jeffers's award-winning Lost and Found. There's no trailer yet, but to me this is already a glowing example of how children's books should be adapted to film — in a style that is faithful to the original artwork, and, at 25 minutes long, not stretched and padded to fill meet some arbitrary 90-minute feature length. (I'm looking at you, The Cat in the Hat)
