There's been a lot of talk about the divide between Silicon Valley and Hollywood, but at least one upstart animation studio seems to have one foot comfortably in both worlds Moonbot Studios, which was just nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short.The film in question, "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," was also released as an iPad app, and will be published a traditional book, too. Co-founder William Joyce is an established children's author, and he first conceived the project as a book, but when he teamed up with Brandon Oldenburg to start Moonbot in 2009, they decided to work on a short film as well. And in the middle of all that, Apple announced the first iPad, so Joyce decided that the story would make a great app, too.
