Sylvain Chomet's (The Triplets of Belleville) new animated charmer packed with lively little jokes. Based on an unfilmed script by French comic Jacques Tati, it's the tale of a music hall magician who travels (with truculent white rabbit) from Paris to London to Scotland in pursuit of ever-smaller stages for his one-man show.
