Ernest and Celestine return in this delightful and joyous follow-up to their first Academy Award®-nominated adventure, which introduced a bear and mouse as the unlikeliest of friends. Ernest remains an ursine troubadour dedicated to a life of music and art, and his constant grouchiness is softened by the creative whims of his mouse friend Celestine. When she accidentally breaks his beloved violin, they must take a long voyage to Ernest's country of Gibbertia, home to the only artist who can repair it. But when they arrive, they are shocked to discover that all forms of music have been banned in Gibbertia for many years, and a land once known across the world for its incredible musicians has fallen silent. It is up to Ernest and Celestine and their new friends, including a mysterious masked outlaw, to bring music and happiness back to the land of bears.

Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com They come together, though, in tenderness and understanding. It's beautiful. Rated: 3/4 Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times In a film whose moral emphasizes the necessity of artistic freedom, there is a deceptive simplicity to this aesthetic style that makes it all the more special. Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine A unique joie de vivre courses through A Trip to Gibberitia’s every meticulously composed frame. Rated: 3/4 Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Despite a complete changing of the guard in terms of its writers and directors, it manages to retain the gentle nature and overriding charm that propelled its predecessor. Rated: 3/4 Feb 17, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia packs a lot of serious issues (such as government oppression and family conflicts) into an engaging story that has whimsical animation and memorable characters. There's enough joy to balance out the heavy topics. Sep 30, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner rachelsreviews.net It's one of those movies I can't imagine anyone disliking. I'm sure there will be someone but it's definitely not this critic. Rated: 9/10 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
