"DIR: Shaun Tan, Andrew Ruhemann SUMMARY: A boy finds a strange creature on the beach and decides to find out where it belongs. WHY IT'S HERE: Shaun Tan's 'The Lost Thing', a 3D adaptation of his own picture book, is a stylish and captivating tale of a boy who finds a lost 'thing' and sets about finding where it truly belongs. The story is slow-paced and meditative but utterly fascinating and Tan's control over his own material retains this element in the film. Thoughtfully narrated by comedi"
