The 90 Second Newbery Film Festival is a hoot—both the films and the hosts. It’s like “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),” only with children’s literature favorites. Some amazingly creative takes on the books!
Agreed. The short version of The Story of Mankind is worth the price of admission alone.
And luckily, since it’s at the library this year, the price of admission is zero! All hail NYPL!
