Moonrise Kingdom - Animated Book Short

Now Playing Nationwide

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, MOONRISE KINGDOM tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl.

It's on DVD now. Unfortunately, it never got to more than 1000 theaters.

The Return of Auntie Lorraine and The Girl Form Jupiter would be right up my alley at that age

Luckily I live in Silver Spring, Maryland so I saw it at the AFI Silver Theatre which apparently is the most "technically advanced Motion Picture exhibition outlet in North America." 0_0

Anyway the movie was fantastic, see it if you can.
