Life of Pi

I have been poking around "the internet" looking for materials to illustrate issues for my course in Digital Media and Culture. This Life of Pi promotional site uses interactive flash-animation to evoke vignettes from the book and, presumably, inspire book-sales so might have made a good talking-point. But talk about your pretentious crapola. A friend once observed to me that just because something is said slowly and in French does not make it deep. The same might be said of slow-moving animation that aims at portentious but achieves boring. I have not read the book so what do I know? But then, this website fails to show me.
