Ernest & Celestine

Watercolour, hand-drawn animated tale set in a storybook Paris, about the unlikely friendship between a little mouse (destined for dentistry but yearning to be an artist) and a down-on-his-luck bear (a poet and musician). Based on the children's book by Belgian writer/illustrator Gabrielle Vincent and from the directors of the crazy stop-motion foreign chuckler A Town Called Panic. Nominated for Best Animated Film at the 2014 Oscars.

The film has been re-dubbed for English-speaking audiences with a voice cast including Forest Whitaker, William H. Macy and Lauren Bacall.

SACD Prize (Directors' Fortnight) at Cannes Film Festival 2012.

Not concerning itself with ADD-levels of hyper-humour (e.g. The LEGO Movie), catchy show tunes (e.g. Frozen) or a story where the fate of the world hangs in the balance (e.g. How to Train Your Dragon 2), this family-friendly heart-warmer combines old-fashioned storytelling with eye-soothing watercolour imagery. It’s a welcomed alternative to chaotic kid-centric blockbusters, channelling the spirit of humble animated greats My Neighbour Totoro and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

An ode to the happiness that comes from being with those different from us.

It’s openly funny, in a wry, unpredictable way.

A delightful melding of visual style and narrative pirouettes.
