Video Sunday: A Bountiful Harvest

While I am quite certain that the Inkheart puritans amongst you will be properly horrified by the new trailer that just came out, I have to admit that I’m pretty excited.  I always felt that Inkheart deserved to be a little more interesting than it was on the page (ironically).  Or maybe I’m just blinded by the fact that Paul Bettany’s in it.  May you all be so lucky as to write a book that gets turned into a movie with delicious Paul Bettany.  That is my blessing to you.  Thanks to Educating Alice for the link.

Monica also reminded me of this animated version of The Three Robbers by Tomi Ungerer.  This video is as enjoyable as it is in large part because of Gene Deitch’s vocal touches.  Great stuff.

In addition to The Shrunken Manuscript, Ms. Sarah Miller also wrote me this: "And it’s a tad late for Banned Books Week, but there’s this creeping little horror if you want to outrage some folks."  Y’all are always up for a little outrage, aren’t you?  Enjoy then.

In a way, that last video was like an unironic version of this next one.  When I saw that Colbert had finally tackled that red lending menace better known as "libraries" I knew I had to link it.  There’s a tongue in his mouth planted so firmly in his cheek that I don’t think we’ll ever get it out.  Not that we’d want to.
