Sorry not sorry but we, French people, have the best movies and the best movie-makers ever

Kirikou et la sorcière

Princes et princesses

Dragons et princesses

Azur et Asmar

All of them by Michel Ocelot

And, obviously, THE movie that got THE Miyazaki inspired to do his:

Le roi et l'oiseau, by Paul Grimault

This one is probably my favourite movie of ALL time.

Like.

It's brilliant.

I loved it when I was a child, I still love it now for different reasons. The double meanings are incredible, the animation is SO DAMN GOOD (and the film was released in 1980) (it took over 30 years to make because the production was a disaster but the result is... MASTERPIECE)

Guillermo Del Toro was inspired by Ico and Shadow of the Colossus when he made El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth).

It’s well known that Guillermo Del Toro is a huge fan of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. The second game came out around the time filming of Pan’s Labyrinth was concluding, but I think it’s quite likely that del Toro would have watched trailers for it. His film is often described as a fairy tale for adults, and it occurred to me how well that describes Ico. Shadow of the Colossus is more like a Greek myth. The first shot of the movie shows Princess Moanna leaving her kingdom through ruins that are very reminiscent of the castle in Ico. Ofelia speaks to the faun in a place with a spiral staircase that's reminiscent of where Yorda is suspended in her cage. Both we and Ofelia are told that she is in fact Princess Moanna, Moanna's soul having returned in her body. When she finally escapes her fascist captor, she glows like Yorda and is reunited with her family as the princess in an afterlife kingdom.

I wrote a post here about Le Roi et l’Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird) as a source of inspiration for Fumito Ueda. It's an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep, which features a faun/satyr, the same creature with the hind legs of a goat and horns (like Ico) that we see in Pan’s Labyrinth. The ending music, which is also the lullaby that Mercedes hums to Ofelia, sounds a bit like ‘La Bergere et le Ramoneur’ from The King and the Mockingbird which I have previously suggested could be an inspiration for 'Castle in the Mist'.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Ofelia is guided by fairies. Two fairies are effectively ‘used up’, saving her from being killed. The Great Deku tree. The monster sitting at the table looks like a ReDead and when he places his eyes into his hands, it reminded me of Bongo Bongo, the Shadow Temple boss.

Various movie influences - A girl rescuing her baby brother in a labyrinth is like Labyrinth. Doors created by drawing an outline with chalk is from Beetlejuice. Ofelia wears a pair of red shoes like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Alice in Wonderland.

Pan's Labyrinth feels very like a video game and as much like a Greek myth as like a fairy tale. It's something I feel I should have thought of before, how much the quests you go on in action-adventure and RPG games are like those in classical mythology. Think of how Ofelia has to complete three tasks, face three monsters and is rewarded with special items. Her first task, for example, is to get three stones into the mouth of a giant toad for which she is rewarded with a special key. It's amazing how Guillermo del Toro manages to thread this fantasy world together with a real world situation of Ofelia being held captive by a sadistic military officer in Franco's Spain.

I'm amazed how much I fell in love with this Charl, even though he was the antagonist in this amazing cartoon (?). and I'm horrified that so few people know about this piece of art

Le Roi et l'Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird) by Paul Grimault.

The first animated surrealist film.

An animator's animated film. The King and the Mockingbird was at the forefront of animation as an art. Influenced Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.

Le Roi et l'Oiseau

Dirigida por Paul Grimault en 1980. El guion es de Jacques Prévert, y está basado en el cuento de Andersen La pastora y el deshollinador (Hyrdinden og Skorsteensfeieren), publicado en 1845. La letra de las canciones es de Prévert; la música, de Joseph Kosma.

El rey Charles V + III = VIII + VIII = XVI (cinco y tres son ocho, ocho y ocho dieciséis) es el dictador del reino de Takicardie. Quiere casarse con una pastora, pero ella tiene un novio deshollinador. Los enamorados consiguen escaparse con la ayuda de un pájaro.

Si vieron el film, notarán que el rey tiene una caja musical en su departamento. Cuando el dibujo o “retrato”del rey intrinca a los héroes en una ciudad subterránea, los protagonistas encuentran un hombre ciego que toca una caja musical ¿De quien se trata este personaje ciego? ¿Se trata del rey verdadero caído en desgracia?

Un gran film, con un final poderoso.
