Cleverly done with animation and claymation techniques, but the story is what grabs you. First rate, and with memorable voices by Nick Offerman and Ellen Page.

A wonderful fairy tale with great animation. As an extra, included on this DVD is a shorter animation about a genie in a can of raviolis.

Starts dark, but ultimately a quiet and charming movie about orphans finding family. I watched it in French with subtitles because I'm fancy.

A really fun, charming little film. We (two adults) enjoyed it thoroughly.

I really enjoyed this animation from France. You could watch it in French or English language. Subtitles are quite good. I do recommend for more mature kids & adults.

A quirky, sad, and finally sweet French stop-motion animation that deals with issues not usually touched on in children's media. Dealing with real-life situations that are often difficult, this could be considered something of an animated…

Our family really enjoyed this moving but I would suggest for parents to watch it beforehand to screen it. There are topics that will be hard for some children to be able to grasp. However, it was very well done and I found it to be a…

Not for younger kids. Movie explains sex, though in a childish manner. Be prepared for "The Talk" afterwards. Overall a great movie, though somewhat sad.

Quirky the way many foreign films are. One of the few animated films i actually liked

Great movie, but only for more mature kids. It can be upsetting for the younger ones.

Too dark, except for older teenagers. It is mildly funny in a few places, but it is not an entertaining animation for kids or adults. Kids in or from foster homes might appreciate seeing something that deals with their experience, so…

Very well done! Check out the Bonus, Genie in a tin of ravioli. Tee hee now I am hungry

Sweet and real and lovely. It shows kids dealing with issues that even adult media shys away from. Yay for a good and well-meaning orphanage too. Yay for a three-dimensional "bully" and yay for showing happy and sad moments. A moving and…

this is NOT a Kid's movie IMO. I think it addresses issues that some kids will find overwhelming.

Enjoyable animated movie from France, more for adults than children.

Enjoyed the movie, but some things I don't think are appropriate for children of a certain age

Ce film est super chouette, autant pour les enfants que pour les adultes. La quantité de travail pour réaliser cette animation est phénoménale. Le tout est très impressionant.

This film is both heartwarming and very sad. It is set in a group home for children who cannot live with their parents for varying reasons including death, abuse, murder, and deportation. It deals with difficult topics in a way that is…

The stop motion animation is great. The story deals with grown-up themes like death, loss, bullies, adoption. But the plot still felt a bit too childish to appeal entirely to adults.

A good, heartwarming movie all around. I would say it's more directed at teens than children, but that's up for debate. Deals with some mature subject matter re: abuse, violence, abandonment, etc. but in a gentle way. Best to watch in the…

Such a creative & quirky little film. It's amazing how much time & effort is put into these stop-motion animation movies. So cute!

Our whole family really liked this one. French film but with English voice-overs which are not at all distracting because it's animated. (Other languages too, I think.) Probably not for real young kids, but certainly middle-school age and…

A wonderful little gem!
Jun 06, 2017Matinee rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This animated film for adults and teens has themes of loneliness, some of the horrible things children can experience, and finding a family, other than a biological one. The wonderful stop-motion animation is a treat for the eyes. I…
