Two Fantastic Clips From Aubier And Patar's ERNEST AND CELESTINE
Belgian animation duo Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar earned themselves an international cult following with their debut feature A Town Called Panic. Based on the television shorts of the same name - Panique au Village in French, actually - the intentionally primitive stop motion followed the adventures of Horse, Cowboy and Indian with hilarious results. They are, of course, doing something completely different with their sophomore feature.

The friendship between a little mouse who didn't want to become a dentist and a big bear who didn't want to become a notary.

Ernest, a big marginal bear, with a cold and starving, is looking through garbage to find something to eat. Just when he's ready to put the first thing he finds into his mouth, a piercing cry rings out! "Stooooppp!". The little mouse he was going to swallow pleads: "if you don't eat me, I will give you whatever you want most in the world! And it will be better for your health than all this crap." And this is how Célestine, while trying to save her own life, turns that of Ernest upside down. From these unfortunate circumstances a friendship grows, fought by the world of mice (the upper world) and the world of bears (the underworld) but in vain: Ernest and Célestine will conquer all prejudices.
An adaptation of the popular children's book by Gabrielle Vincent, the first two clips from the Ernest And Celestine movie have arrived online and they are absolutely beautiful to behold, and absolute proof that anything primitive in their earlier work was entirely deliberate where the directors are concerned.
