“Better Together” is the melancholic tale of a Pea and a Carrot that “Friends With You” created for for Match.Com. In this cute animation all things things are “better together” (strawberries and cream, to a fork and knife, to a rabbit and a hat) make their love connection all over town. Would the pea and carrot fall in love forever?

It was joy to see last weekend the beautifully crafted stop-motion animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox! I was captivated by the colors and the amount of detail. This movie felt handmade…from Mrs. Fox wardrobe to the red delicious sparking apples. It was a delight to see the water splashes, the wind moving the puppet’s fur and all the waves of fabric explosions.
