Princes and Princesses (2000) | dir. Michel Ocelot

Fairytales in French cinema

Pictures from "Princes et Princesses", a 2000 animated fairytale movie by Michel Ocelot. This movie originally was a television series called "Ciné Si" and released in 1989, but Michel Ocelot later decided to compile six of the eight episodes into one full-length movie. This movie is an anthology of fairytales from around the world, retold in various settings ranging from fantasy to science-fiction. This movie (and the series before it) is most notable for actually being a shadow-puppet production, paying homage to the works of Lotte Reiniger.

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)

Sniper Hiking [TF2 Blender]

This is a Team Fortress 2 banner design I made in Blender of Sniper, which was inspired by Michel Ocelot's animation style. I highly recommend checking out Michel Ocelot's films if you haven't (particularly Tales of the Night), they use strong silhouettes and bright, colourful backgrounds.

Tales of the Night, "Les Contes De La Nuit" (2011)

direct by Michel Ocelot

This illustration beautifully captures the architectural and botanical richness of the house of Asmar's mother, the nourrice, from Azur & Asmar. I admire Michel Ocelot's animation style, which combines intricate details with vibrant colors, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels timeless yet grounded in culture. The courtyard is filled with lush, diverse plants and flowers, symbolizing the nurturing and exotic environment. The warm, golden arches and intricate patterns on the columns reflect North African and Moorish influences, reinforcing the cultural depth that Ocelot integrates into his work.

This illustration captures the tranquil beauty of the nurse's home, a place of warmth and growth after she was chased out of the house of Azure as a servant by Azur's father

Fairytales in French cinema

Pictures from "Kirikou et la Sorcière" (Kirikou and the Witch/Sorceress) by Michel Ocelot.

The mid-20th century was marked by Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast... Jacques Demy's Donkeyskin left its print on the latter half of the 20th century... And Michel Ocelot's Kirikou burst out of the dawn of the 21st century. As I said before, this movie could be compared in term of scope, effect and popularity, to what The Lion King was in America... (except this movie's better :p)

Adapting a West African folktale while sharing modern messages about issues such as the power of tyrants or the nature of discrimination, using all sorts of traditional African artstyles for its design ranging from Ancient Egypt to the Benin, this movie enormous success (it even was adapted as a world-renowned live-action musical) completely redefined the animation industry in France in the early 21st century.
