“My beautiful tree” (from 3 years old)

An anthology of five seasonal short films. The best, Fire the tree! South Korean stop motion film, tells the story of the super heroic intervention of a wool alkaline battery…

“Gluttonous Bears at the North Pole” (from 3 years old)

Return to the cinema of plantigrades from the Czech Republic. The charm operates again thanks to the childish design of the characters and settings, based on cut-out paper.

“Christmas must be saved” (from 3 years old)

The most successful of this duo of stop motion films is The Treflix Christmas, a kind of Grinch Polish. Which seduces with its dynamism, its humor and its remarkable settings.

“The Great Animal Christmas” (from 3 years old)

Santa Claus is stranded at sea, a little lynx wants to arrive in time for the show… These five colorful and sparkling little tales revive the magic of the end-of-year holidays.

“Niko the little reindeer: Mission Santa Claus” (from 4 years old)

Niko, a brave little reindeer, wants to join Santa's flying brigade, the one that pulls the sleigh during the distribution of gifts. But the sleigh has disappeared…

“Marcel Santa Claus and the Little Pizza Delivery Man” (from 6 years old)

Since garlands are already hanging from the lampposts, we don't have to wait any longer to get into the Christmas spirit with two modern and charming short films.

“Tony, Shelly and the Magic Light” (from 6 years old)

The touching and graceful story of Tony, an extraordinary little boy, whose round and soft head shines like a light bulb…

“The Tale of Tales” (from 8 years old)

Four short films by the undisputed master of cut-out paper, produced in the Soviet Soyuzmoultfilm studios between 1971 and 1979, are to be rediscovered in restored versions.

“Mufasa: The Lion King” (from 8 years old)

The story of Mufasa, an orphaned lion cub before becoming king and the father of Simba, but also that of Scar, his future assassin. Disney's great African epic in computer-generated images comes away with honors.

“Flowthe cat who was no longer afraid of water” (from 8 years old)

In a world soon to be submerged, without humans or words but full of life, a cat and his friends survive on a drifting boat. An aesthetic shock and a hypnotic ode to nature.

“The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim” (from 10 years old)

Two hundred years before the adventures of the Hobbit, a princess defends her people against a vengeful lord. An effective animated film, inspired by Tolkien.

“The Most Precious of Goods” (from 11 years old)

Thrown from a death train, a baby is rescued by a couple of lumberjacks. Adapted from the novel by Jean-Claude Grumberg, this delicate fable is a little gem of animation.

“Wicked” (from 12 years old)

The genesis of the disagreement between two witches from Wizard of Oz, in a multicolored pasteboard decor, served by a duo of playful and virtuoso performers (Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo). A kitsch film as you wish.
