AnimWatch - MORE - feature - DEC 2003: "It's rare that little lumps of plasticene can make you feel lumps in your throat, but such is the common reaction to Mark Osborne's MORE. This simple animated film about creativity, passion, and the perils of selling out struck a chord with audiences. It was nominated for an Oscar in 1998, and won Honours at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999.

Forum: The fish that threatened national security : "At La Guardia we proceeded to security and the X-ray inspection point run by the Transportation Security Administration. I have learned by now that, post-9/11, a traveler is better off safe than sorry when proceeding through security. I wasn't prepared, however, for the TSA to stop me right at the entrance, proclaiming that no small pets, including fish, were permitted through security. I had, however, just received the blessing of the ticket agents at US Airways and pre-assured MJ's travels with Pittsburgh International Airport security weeks before our travel date. I tried to explain this to the screener who stood between me and the gates, but she would have none of it. I was led back to the US Airways ticket counter, stocking-footed and alone, where the agents reasserted that they did not see a problem for me to have a fish on board, properly packaged in plastic fish bag and secured with a rubber band as MJ was.
