This past week Zorah and I have watched three animated French films by Michel Ocelot. I haven't been as impressed by any movie in a long time.
The first two, Kirikou et la Sorciere (Kirikou and the Witch) and Kirikou et les Betes Sauvages (Kirikou and the Wild Beasts) are based on folktales from Africa. Princes et Princesses is a collection of stories done in silhouettes. Here's the link to the trailer for that one.
And one for the second Kirikou:
All three are original, clever, and definitely worth seeing for anyone, not just kids. French students could watch the Kirikou films without subtitles and easily understand the dialogue as the voice actors speak slowly and clearly. The same is true for the majority of the third as well.
Find them and watch them!!!
