This might have been an entirely different result. Actually, it was always gonna be Ernest & Celestine since I saw this wondrous film, though had I seen Miyazaki Hayao's The Wind Rises or Takahata Isao's The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, this gorgeous French film might have had to have taken a backseat. But I didn't, so those films will have to wait. It's directed be Benjamin Renner alongside the directors behind the fabulous stop-motion film A Town Called Panic, Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar. And it's an utter delight. And you truly must see it. The animation style is traditional hand-drawn and beautiful, and the tonal style is a marvellous, deft blend of sweet, observational comedy and touching drama. Hooray for Ernest & Celestine, one of 2013's finest films.
