J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The movie never comes close to replicating the spell that Reiniger was able to cast using much more primitive techniques, which underlines a chronic problem of computer animation: its very precision squeezes all the magic from the magic lantern. Nov 21, 2012 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It is so gentle and whimsical that one wonders if American children, accustomed to the whiz-bang action of most animation, will accept it. Rated: 3/4 Nov 21, 2012 Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times Six mostly engaging fairy tales are digitally rendered with silhouetted characters performing in front of vivid, colorful backgrounds. Rated: 3/4 Nov 15, 2012 Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue Without doubt, Ocelot's Tales of the Night has a great deal of charm. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending The film is a marvel, and everybody with any affection for animation is duty-bound to see it. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2017 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Six stunningly animated fairy tales with a few mild scares Rated: 4/5 Feb 6, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member In the world we are living in we, sadly, find only very few things that are constant among all the changes that plague us. One of those rare constant phenomenons is, most certainly, unique, enchanting film-making style and wit of Michel Ocelot. Despite all the time that passes around us, we can always find comfort in the fact that Michel Ocelot still creates simple, yet magical worlds and narratives and, most of all, still believe, and, indeed, can also make us believe (if only for the moment), that there is nothing more important that love and that love, this most important things of all, can concur every obstacle on its way. This particular movie is no different: while not every fairy tale in this anthology is as good as my favorite one, „The boy who never lied", every single one of them is hypnotic in their timeless beauty, just like princes and princesses that we encounter in their worlds. If only I could live to see another installment of this series, spend another night in that theater with old mentor and his young friends that love each other so, so much... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member the worst fucking shit i ever watched! Warning! do not watch this at any cost, u will puke atleast 3 times Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Teh longer version Dragons et Princesses is even better - just in French...... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Spectacular animation but the story is very lacking and the ending is disappointing Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review farah r Gorgeous animation but lacking story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This was fun and enjoyable to watch. I rented this from the VUDU app and I liked the stories.
