Last year (when I was still reviewing picture books regularly on Mondays!), I sang the praises of Varmints by Helen Ward and Marc Craste. If you missed it but love strange but awe-inspiring works of art made into kids stories, read it.
I said it looked like an animation put into paper. So, it was only a matter of time till Varmints was going to be made into a film. I thought it would look great, but this little trailer exceeded all my high expectations. I'd love to watch the whole movie!
Thanks to the Literary Resources blog for bringing this to my attention!

The preview looks so good. The book has been on my wish list for awhile now.I'm going to check out your review.
Hi Valentina, I enjoyed this book too and found out about the movie. Then I saw the clip and found out you can see the whole movie, about 20 minutes through a download. I wrote about it on my blog. You can see the details here: http://bearbits.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-200-will-buy-you.html
