Thanksgiving / Turkey Day has finally arrived, and with it comes a handful of Oscar contenders at the cinema – Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pi, Rust and Bone, Hitchcock, and more. But for those not heading out to the cinema today, Larry David has joined forces with the great Funny or Die to bring us a brilliant animated short in honour of the holiday.
David is of course well known for his leading role in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, for the kind of comedy that only Larry David can pull off. The man’s name is synonymous with comic genius.

Los Angeles may be considered the film capital of the world, but what is “film” these days anyway? A new L.A-based festival has just popped up that addresses and celebrates all of the unique forms that visual storytelling can take in our new media world.
