Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。故事设定在伦敦，一群年轻的大学毕业生竞相进入顶级投行，他们逐渐融入到充斥着性、毒/品、自负的公司文化中，同事、朋友、爱人、敌人的界限变得模糊。。曾出品《飞天小女警》《德克斯特实验室》的著名动画制作人Craig McCracken离开卡通频道，加盟迪士尼之后的首部作品《星际漫步》(Wander Over Yonder)，围绕宇宙中一个无忧无虑的流浪者Wander展开。Wander与自己的坐骑Sylvia自由自在地生活着，即便想要称霸宇宙的大反派Lord Hater经常四处作恶，破坏各个星球原本平静的秩序，看似什么也不在乎的Wander却总能在不经意间让Lord Hater的阴谋破产。画风怪诞而精致，故事情节和配音也幽默而恰到好处。在不自由的环境下也要努力保持一种自由的心态，也许环境也会因此渐渐发生积极的改变，这大概是创作者想要借此片传递的信息吧。( )。
