Family Flicks: Ernest & Celestine

Co-presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive
Recommended for ages 6+
Dazzling, hand-painted watercolor animation brings Gabrielle Vincent’s Belgian children’s books to life in this Oscar-nominated gem. In a world sharply divided by fear between bears, who live above, and mice, who live below, an unlikely bond blooms between a grumpy, music-loving bear and a spirited little mouse with big dreams. Mutual need brings them together but a shared love of creativity and fun connects them in a story about how friendship can change the world.
(2012, Dir. Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar, Benjamin Renner. DCP, color, 80 min.)
