I love the Olympics (and am unabashedly excited to see Apollo Anton Ono and the Flying Tomato in just a few weeks). So, today’s selections are two sweet shorts in celebration of the games.
Inuit: A quick and powerful adventure, beautifully designed by Jon Klassen for the upcoming Vancouver Olympics. (o.43 minutes)
Monkey: Journey to the West: A playful operatic epic told in just two minutes. (2.0 minutes)
