‹ Princes et princesses › trailer - Complete film available English-subbed on DVD

Trailer for the compilation movie of Michel Ocelot's 'Ciné si.' The series is from the late 1980s; the film was released in January 2000. The music is by Christian Maire, while the two lead characters are voiced by Arlette Mirapeu and Philippe Cheytion. This is my favourite animation, whether in series or feature form, though I that suspect JANKOVICS Marcell's 'Fehérlófia' may rival or even usurp it.

It has been released to DVD in the USA as 'Princes and Princesses' by KimStim (distributed by Kino International). It is also included within the 'Kirikou and the Sorceress' Special Edition released in Canada (both are region 1 and have English subtitles). For more information see http://palais.wikidot.com/princes-et-princesses and http://palais.wikidot.com/princes-et-princesses-videography for other DVD releases.

'Kirikou et la sorcière' footage is © Les Armateurs/Odec Kid Cartoons/France 3 cinéma/Studio O/RTBF/Monipoly/TEF/Exposure; 'Princes et princesses' is © 1999 Les Armateurs/La Fabrique/Studio O/Gébéka Films. Trailer taken from the French DVD released by France Télévision.

i'm researching stop motion for school and found this as an example of silhouette animation, so i thought i'd watch it. is it good?

[Turtleheart]

@MapleTree621 I like it. But considering what most people think of the things I like, that's hardly a guarantee. What I'd recommend more, though, is to get « Les Trésors cachés de Michel Ocelot » if you're able to play it, as that has documentaries about the sometimes surprising techniques behind his work in each medium which aren't always deductible from the end result.

[Turtleheart]

@MapleTree621 Ocelot's silhouette animation isn't all stop motion, by the way, there's quite a lot which is replacement animation painted on cells. But the close-ups of faces with believable lip-sync which are so particular to Ocelot are all stop motion as far as I can remember or tell and it's certainly notable for them.

My daughter wants me to say on her behalf:

She likes the moment when the princess lowers her face into her hands.

[Turtleheart]

Do you mean la reine cruelle (the cruel queen)? That's a very sad moment. :( An interesting, perhaps even beautiful, movement, which is what I consider most important, but a little traumatising to see repeated in the trailer with knowledge of its context in that story.

[LilleBoodie]

wow, it looks really good... is the entire movie in profile..?

[Turtleheart]

In silhouette not always from the side, but mostly.

[MrCailler]

Mon univers!!!! Ce film est un trésors de pöèsies et de merveilles!!! je suis l'un des plus grand fan! bravo bravo bravo! On manque d'instant comme celui ci dans le mode du dessin animé aujourd'hui!

[EyeLean5280]

@Turtleheart, we haven't seen the film yet, so my daughter didn't know the queen is cruel. She of course gets that it is a sad, tragic moment, which appeals to the pre-raphaelite in her.

Attendez! Si je comprends bien, les belles petites histoires de mon enfance que je tente désespérément de retrouver sont en quelque sorte des "segments d'histoires" réunies dans un "coffret ou un recueil" appelé 'Princes et princesses'? Est-ce cela? Voila qui devrait me faciliter la tâche.
