Animation Movies Go 3D By European Film Director
The famous European film director Michel Ocelot has always loved fairy tales. He began telling them in animation movies and found great success with his debut feature in 1998, Kirikou and the Sorceress. He followed that up over the next decade with the animated movies Princes and Princesses and the sequel Kirikou and the Wild Beasts, as well as Azur and Asmar.
Now Ocelot's new Tales of the Night is breaking ground as the first 3D animated film to enter into competition in Berlin and the only French title in the category. Speaking about what has inspired him to create such masterpieces, Ocelot believes that fairy tales are his calling. He feels at ease telling them and he believes that they are a very powerful form of communication to both entertain and to teach important lessons.
