The article discusses the team's efforts in other media, like interactive apps and books for the iPad, as well as the origins of its latest short, which itself is sort of a love song to books and literature.
After the success of Lessmore, larger studios are said to be reaching out to director William Joyce and the 35 artists at the company; the paper calls it "a step toward Moonbot's ultimate goal of making a feature-length film."
The Atlantic writes that the "Moonbot is on the verge of national recognition".

I hope for them to get there, Morris Lesmore was brilliant.
Absolutely stunning short! Will watch over and over again!
Well, Pixar had to fall sometime.
I find the short really weird, to be honest. Maybe because it deviates so much from what I'm used to a la DreamWorks, Pixar, etc. The lack of speaking is something that stands out, seems awkward to me. And I'm not sure what the short is trying to say to me, or what the hurricane represents? I'd rather it be totally abstract or totally concrete - it seems inbetween and it's weirding me out! Anyway, it looks beautiful and the animation is great.
