    It's a sweet and disquieting excursion made by filmmakers whose eyes and ears and imaginations are in marvelous sync.

    While you're watching it, it is cozy and enjoyable, the same way a sleeping cat in your lap is cozy and enjoyable.

    Unoriginal and mired in bad jokes.

    A charming French animation, recognised by the Academy with a nomination nod, with a fresh take in traditional paint cartooning, a great soundtrack and plenty of suspense, is above all stylish and captivating for children and growups alike.… Expand

    I really like the hand-drawn animation with great attention to detail. I also very much enjoyed the musical score by Serge Besset. All the performances were good (if a little odd in places… more on that later) so honourable mentions go to the voice talents of; Marcia Gay Harden as Jeanne, JB Blanc as Victor Costa, Anjelica Huston as Claudine and Matthew Modine as Lucas. I guess the filmmakers were trying to please everyone by making the accents of the characters quite international. Of course the bad guy has an English accent, with one of his henchmen being German. There’s an old lady with a very American accent; to be honest, it’s all a bit confusing! Even so, I did find it entertaining with nods to **** (amongst others), this one managed to do much more right than wrong. It’s funny (in parts) too, there’s one recurring gag with a barking dog that had me in stitches! Over all, it’s one I don’t mind giving my seal of approval to. SteelMonster’s verdict: RECOMMENDED. My Score 6.5/10… Expand
