The imaginative possibilities of animation and reading are intertwined in this spirited Koji Yamamura short. Two kids find a dusty book on a park bench and soon become immersed in a "Robinson Crusoe"-like adventure. They're in for a jolt, however, when their desert island starts swimming. Yamamura's painted frames swell with movement and color as the boys zoom through the literary imagination.
