"Moonrise Kingdom: Animated Book Short" is a 4-minute mix of live action and animation, in which actor Bosko Balaban (looking like a dwarf from Snow White) presents a female character from Moonrise Kingdom, who herself presents her favorite pieces of children's literature. It's all books that don#t exist in reality, but they sure sound as if they could make for a good read. This film has a bit of a Wes Anderson feel to it, even if the director is Christian De Vita, who also worked on Moonrise Kingdom in the art department. I like (but don't love) Moonrise Kingdom and I guess the same description applies to this pretty short film we have here. Watching it once is enough and if you have not seen or liked MK, then you can skip it right away. I still give it a cautious thumbs-up I guess.
