August 28th is Quvenzhané Wallis day! It's a big holiday in the Bathtub, but we're not the only ones who love to celebrate her. Here's 11 images of our "King" as she turns 11 years young today. They'll make you want to laugh, cry, and beast it hard, just like our tiny hero herself. Hushbabies. They grow up so fast! (Click on each image to find your way to its source.)

Benh Zeitlin and Dan Romer's Beasts of the Southern Wild continues to bounce around the globe and the web. If you're a Londoner, catch Benh,Dan and Wordless Music performing the score live for a screening of the film July 30th-31st at the Barbican. Details and tickets here. If you're a musician yourself, sheet music for piano can be found here.

While we're talking music, here are some creative tribute videos and reinterpretations of the score we've found across the web, including...

A couple mixed-media interpretations of the Bathtub and it's inhabitants:

"The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece...the whole universe will get busted" - Beastst of the Southern Wild #beastsofthesouthernwild#hushpuppy#heart#cavepainting#prehistoric#aurochs#nawden#illustration#drawing#moleskine#dream#sketch#createvibes#video#particlesoftheuniverse

We're also fond of these inventive instrumentalists:

String quartet rehearsing my arrangement of 'Once There Was A Hushpuppy'... Before I changed the cello part to be more playable. So it's rough but I'm super pumped about how it's going to sound. #weddingmusic #BeastsOfTheSouthernWild

And last but not least, some feats of impressive musical and physical gymnastics:

When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me, flying around in invisible pieces. I see that I'm a little beast, in a big big universe. In a million years, when kids go to school, they're going to know, once there was a hushpuppy, and he lived with his daddy in the bathtub.
