It's from Elisa Gall's 4th and 5th grade volunteers at Orrington School in Evanston, IL and it's great! I think it was particularly clever the way they used paper puppets--kind of an homage to Chinese shadow puppets as well as getting around budget restraints of hiring a green tiger and building a well:

Isn't that great? Thanks so much, Elisa Gall and Orrington School Students! I'm sending you a print from my etsy shop as a small thank you. I hope you like it!
And I also hope this encourages others to make a 90-second film for the festival. I'd absolutely would love to see more interpretations of my book, as well as other Newbery books!
