My mate posted this up on my facebook. Its a reindition of the Short story, The Lost Thing, by Shaun Tan. Usually 9 times of of ten, a remake is never as good as the original, but its interesting to note how these two completely different mediums can portay a story is such a simular way. The pace of the story, the art direction, its so similar. It really is the books equivalent. No surprises to hear that it was co directed by the auther and illustrator of the book, Shaun Tan.
Its got such a great message, as all Shaun Tan short stories do. Check out more of Tan's work at
Here's a pic from 'Rabbits'. A story relaying ideas of colonisation in Australia. Its an amazing childrens book (that really isnt a childrens book) with some truely stunning paintings within it. Its worth getting out from your library.
