Mark Osborne's MORE

Nominated for an Academy Award and awarded the Best Short Film at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, MORE is a stop‑motion mixed‑media short film written and directed by Mark Osborne, the co‑director of Kung Fu Panda and the upcoming animated feature film based on the iconic book The Little Prince. It tells the story of an old, tired inventor who struggles through a joyless life in a drab, passionless society, mirroring the cold, colorless existence of the identical drones around him. Torn between the memory of his carefree youth and the desire to finish an invention that might give his life meaning, he ultimately completes his secret creation, transforming his world and those around him. However, his success comes at a cost, and he realizes that the true essence of his inspiration cannot be manufactured.
