First Image From ERNEST AND CELESTINE. New Animated Film From Directors Of A TOWN CALLED PANIC.
So what have Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar, creators of that wonderfully wacky animated television series and film A Town Called Panic, been up to?
Well, they've gotten together with first-time director Benjamin Renner and are currently working on their next project Ernest and Celestine. It is still in production but producer Didier Brunner presented a work in progress strand of the film at the Annecy Animated Film Festival yesterday. Brunner has also produced some other animated film you may have heard of. Michael Ocelot's Kirikou films? Triplets of Belleville? The Secret Of The Kells? Yeah. We're pretty sure this production is in good hands.
The film is based on the series of illustrated kids books by the late Gabrielle Vincent and French writer Daniel Pennac penned the screenplay. The animation style is more traditional and a departure from what we know of A Town Called Panic and I doubt it would have that same kind of energy but we welcome anything new from these talented animators.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.
