ERNEST ET CELESTINE [2013]

Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar & Benjamin Renner adapt Belgian children's author Gabrielle Vincent's Ernest et Célestine for the screen in this irresistibly adorable French animated film.
Animated with a warm hue of water colors, the film reminds us how much heart a classically animated film can have compared to the army of CGI animated films we've gotten so used to.  As wonderful as the animation is, the storytelling deserves recognition as well with it's innocent simplicity and harmless yet effective humor.
It's message is sincere, subtle and asks nothing of you but a heartfelt smile.
