He decides that he wants to overcome his disability and escape from the forest. He builds a catapult and a mechanical wing to accomplish this. When he launches himself away from the forest, the wing malfunctions, and he crashes into the territory of the crows. The crows are about to harm him, but are then lured away by a two-winged humanoid, who the crows attack instead. Wing finds the creature, and discovers it is a female of his own kind, and that the crows have torn one of her wings off. As the crows come towards them, Wing gets the idea that he and the female can fly in tandem by flapping each of their single wings while holding onto each other, and they manage to escape from the forest.<br><br>By: Asger Grevil, Mette V.

He was about 3 months old and had been abandoned as a six-week-old kitten and left to survive on his own. He was found with a group of other kittens who were not related to him. A very nice man and his wife who live in Buellton, CA. fostered Fergus and 5 of the other kittens until they were big enough and chubby enough to give away. Fergus was the liveliest and most playful of the bunch, so I chose him. He still is! We have been together over a year now. We have had some rough times. He was in an accident, broke his leg and almost did not make it, but he is a survivor, and now we are a lot more careful! We are a team and we love each other.

Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.</p> <p><font color="#a41c44" size="4" face="Book Antiqua"><em>I loved this little film.
