Storytime (film)

Storytime is a short animated comedy film written, directed and animated by Terry Gilliam. It is Gilliam's first film, and stylistically anticipates the distinctive animations which Gilliam went on to produce for Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Storytime is composed of three loosely connected animated segments. The first two, "Don the Cockroach" and "The Albert Einstein Story", were originally broadcast in the 1971–1972 TV series The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine, while the third, "The Christmas Card", was created for the 1968 Christmas Special of Do Not Adjust Your Set. It is not clear when the three segments were first compiled to create Storytime, but the film was eventually included on the Jabberwocky DVD as a bonus feature. It was also shown as an accompaniment to some British theatrical releases of Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Plot

Storytime (song)

"Storytime" is a song from the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish's seventh studio album Imaginaerum, as well as the first single from the album. It was released on November 9, 2011, twenty days prior to the album, along with a music video. The song premiered on Radio Rock, a Finnish radio station at 9.00 GMT +2 on November 7, 2011, two days before its commercial release.

Composer and band leader Tuomas Holopainen has said of Storytime that it "is a single that pretty well represents the whole album", and that it give a better picture of the album than "Eva" and "Amaranth" did as the first two singles to the 2007 album Dark Passion Play.

Background

The song was revealed as the first single and music video on September 2, 2011, with the release date set to November 11. A week later, the band released the Imaginaerum cover, tracklist and commentary on each song written by Holopainen, including the first clues concerning the song, hinting on references to yuletide and The Snowman. On October 26, the first content from the song and video was released in a 50-second teaser video on YouTube.

Happiness

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources. Various research groups, including positive psychology, are employing the scientific method to research questions about what "happiness" is, and how it might be attained.

The United Nations declared 20 March the International Day of Happiness to recognise the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals.

Definition

Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. There has been a transition over time from emphasis on the happiness of virtue to the virtue of happiness.

A widely discussed political value expressed in the United States Declaration of Independence of 1776, written by Thomas Jefferson, is the universal right to "the pursuit of happiness."
