祎杰 李 Aug 2 Five scenes of plays in a play. See more 01/18/2012 Charming animated feature that is very unique. See more 06/24/2011 In our sensory saturated culture these days, we often forget just how enchanting the simpler productions can be. Princes Et Princesses is an animated French film, composed of 6 episodes, all telling the stories of princes and princesses. The animation is done in silhouette form (I always struggled spelling that word) and is reminiscent of "The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)." The animation itself, was simple, yet beautifully captivating. When artists begin to clutter the screen with meaningless over the top visuals, it deludes your focus to what is actually happening on it. I thought the stories were charming and creatively depicted. I could see this being one of my favorites as a child. It was a real treat to see this film. http://twitter.com/TheDevoZone See more 03/26/2011 A great movie to watch, without feeling tired of watching over and over again. See more 03/02/2011 The animation style is very unique and the way he was able to create six very different stories all based on the set up of a prince and a princess was fantastic. See more 10/13/2010 This has become one of my favorite children's movies. The artwork is so simple and endearing; the narration poetic; classical storyteIling. The stories are in French, with subtitles, but I think even children who can not read or understand French will enjoy the tales. I highly recommend this, especially to those who have not been swept into the fast action Disney animation craze yet. See more Read all reviews
