Production year : 2010

Every evening, a girl, a boy, and an old technician get together in a small movie theater. Although the theater no longer seems to be operating, it is full of wonders. The three friends invent, drawn, dress up, and become characters in any story they feel like telling during one magical night when everything is possible. There are witches and fairies, powerful kings and stable boys, werewolves and beautiful, cruel ladies, cathedrals and sequins, cities of gold and dark forests, harmonies of vast choirs and the spells of a single drum, devastating malice and triumphant innocence.

This movie should just be a 3 minutes introduction in a Disney animation before the movie :P

I just watched this at the Wales One World festival and it was pretty amazing!

US distribution is by GKIDS, who are currently doing Chico & Rita and their Studio Ghibli retrospective, with Folimage's A Cat in Paris (the first feature directed and written by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, whose short work is worth seeking out) lined up next. But Tales of the Night should follow after that.

It's going to be distributed in at least the UK (Friday, 25 May 2012) and USA (TBA) if you live in either of those.
