Oliver Jeffers’s Lost and Found animated

Check out these gorgeous preview images of STUDIOaka’s animated adaptation of Oliver Jeffers’s award-winning Lost and Found. There’s no trailer yet, but to me this is already a glowing example of how children’s books should be adapted to film — in a style that is faithful to the original artwork, and, at 25 minutes long, not stretched and padded to fill meet some arbitrary 90-minute feature length.
