Summary 
In this award-winning French animated film, three characters escape an unfinished painting in search of their creator.. In this wryly inventive parable, a kingdom within a painting is divided into three castes: the impeccably colored Alldunns, the incomplete Halfies, and the barely outlined Sketchies who are treated as outcasts. Chastised for her forbidden love of the dashing Ramo, Claire runs away into the cursed forest. Ramo and his friends journey after her, crossing over the boundaries of the forest only to arrive at the very edge of the painting - where they tumble through the canvas and into the Painter's studio.. The abandoned workspace is strewn with paintings, each containing its own vividly animated world and characters - and in a feast for both the eyes and the imagination, Ramo, Lola, Quill and Magenta explore picture after picture, in a quest to discover just what the Painter has in mind for his creations.. Nominated for Best Feature at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Best Animated Film at the César Awards, and winner of Best Music at Chicago International Children's Film Festival.. "With striking visuals reminiscent of Matisse and Chagall and a refreshingly...grown-up storyline, THE PAINTING is almost reminiscent of, well, a work of art." - Pete Vonder Haar, Village Voice. "Helmer Jean-Francois Laguionie's consistently enjoyable, inventive and beautifully crafted tale is a color riot suitable for all ages." - Boyd van Hoeij, Variety

At the same time, all the unwanted, unloved and so-called "unfit" dogs rise up under a new leader, Hagen, the one-time house-pet who has learned all too well from his "Masters" in his journey through the streets and animal control centers that man is not always dog's best friend. . Winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at the Cannes Film Festival.. "A mixed-genre fable that evokes Dickensian melodrama, coming-of-age tropes and outright horror." - Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Summary 
From Academy Award-nominated director Dominique Monféry comes a sumptuously animated adventure about a magic library where characters from classic children's books come alive.. Nat has fond memories of his eccentric Aunt Eleanor reading to him from her enormous collection of storybooks but is frustrated by his inability to read the books himself. So he is less than thrilled when he learns that his aunt has left him the keys to her attic library as a gift. However, just as Nat's parents are selling the collection to a shady antiques dealer, Nat discovers that the library is magical - the books are all original editions of classic fairy tales, and the famous characters come to life! Now with the help of Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Puss in Boots, Peter Pan and others, he must find a way to get back the books and learn to read an ancient spell to keep the characters alive for future generations of children.. Winner of Special Distinction and nominated for Best Feature at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. "While the script is geared to the lollipop crowd, nicely animated sequences, particularly an impressive nightmare segment in black-and-white, will appeal to all ages; even better, parents will appreciate the pro-literacy message at the pic's heart." - Jay Weissberg, Variety. "Visually sumptuous throughout, this film is a delight for the eyes. Clever imagery puts across Nat's feelings about the oppressive nature of letters and words very effectively...The engaging story, which never patronises Nat and shows that his dislike of reading doesn't limit his imaginative powers, may well work effectively in encouraging reluctant readers. It certainly brings alive the magic of what books contain." Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film

And there's something about the ending-well you'd have to be a terrible thing yourself not to be touched by it." - Animation Magazine. "Jake Armstrong's THE TERRIBLE THING OF ALPHA-9! is not only one of the best student shorts I've seen in a long time, it's one of the finest animated shorts, period...This is a cartoon that is sophisticated in all respects, yet done so expertly that the end results appear effortless." - Amid Amidi, Cartoon Brew TV
