## Description

Product Description          From Michel Ocelot, the internationally acclaimed animator of Kirikou and the Wild Beast, comes Princes and Princesses, a sumptuous and elegant film of silhouette animation that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. In an old derelict theater, an art teacher and two students create six ravishing epic tales of love and adventure, each involving a prince or a princess. After coming up with an idea, they feed it to a special machine, and are hence magically transformed into the characters of the story they have devised. Created using a special style of cut-out animation, similar in spirit to Lotte Reiniger s mesmerizing The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926), Princes and Princesses uses black-silhouetted characters performing action against back-lit, enchantingly colored backdrops. Although the moving images may seem simple, the settings display extraordinary versatility, allowing Ocelot to model styles as diverse as ancient Egyptian landscapes to traditional Japanese art.WINNER: CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN FILM FESTIVAL (ADULT & CHILDREN S JURY AWARDS)PRODUCED BY DIDIER BRUNIER (THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE)             Review          A wonderfully imaginative collection of fairy tales. --The Seattle Times

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Witty, elegant, poetic
  

*by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2011*

Ocelot has great style. As usual, in these six short stories, the graphics and the animation are elegant, concise, beautifully evocative. And his choice of subject matter is flawless : he has an unmistakable, artistic way of blending humor and romance. The six stories (all based, I suppose, on folk material) range from Ancient Egypt to 3000 AD, from the moonlit mountains of Hokusai's Japan to the Middle Ages in some nondescript, fantastic Old World. Each tale, quietly told, provides food for thought and nice conversations - if only because a brief prologue shows a boy, a girl, and an old man discussing their choice of material and reviewing the documentation before they enter their respective roles. My daughters, ages 8 1/2 and 6, both love it, and so do I, as well as all the other children and grown-ups I have recommended or offered it so far. It has become one of my favourite gifts. I don't know whether "Dragons et Princesses" has been released in the US already. If it has, don't miss it : it displays the exact same qualities.

    Cherished!!!
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013*

This is a must for anyone wishing to study the silhouette animation form. In that there are very few examples to readily draw from in the modern day marketplace. Not too mentioned the acclaimed director behind the force of this production.This might be very good for American children as well, or at least it should be. There is not too much color for the hyper minds of their societal youth, yet it does provide historical takes on every kids embellishment or fascination with royalty and monarchy. In the sense that there are different takes and adventures on princes and princesses from varying cultural perspectives. It is humor filled for all ages to appreciate.The craft and design work is none to miss. This simplicity and perfection in composition and staging is a great start for anyone aiming to study the process of animation or this particular type of form.

    Lovely movie!
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013*

Granted that it is episodic and has minimal  connective story, this is very entertaining & lovely. The stories have a variety of styles within the overall shadow technique and different moods.You can see the influence of Lotte Reiniger but I think Ocelot's figures are not actual shadow puppets, but computer generated, I think? I have to read the box!
