Trying not to overthink this post!

As a lifelong film lover and animated princess super fan, I regret not seeing it sooner. It’s ambitious, dreamy, and perfectly captures the haunting, ethereal beauty and melodrama of fairytales. It even opens with a letter from the director asking you to watch with a childlike sense of wonder, to allow yourself to believe in this impossible story.

It’s all just so charming and I figured people here would be interested. Don’t let the black and white or subtitles (it’s in French) keep you from experiencing this love letter to fantasy and testament to what cinema can create. It’s currently free with ads on YouTube and only 90 minutes🤍

They perfectly capture the story’s high drama, striking landscapes, fantastical set pieces, and fun sense of adventure. We’re lucky we got so many of them! The authentic emotional connections aren’t forgotten either. Such a special set of stills for a uniquely magnificent film✨

I couldn’t resist buying them just for the opportunity to scan these gorgeous illustrations! I love both of their dresses and think Erika’s is one of the most beautiful animated outfits of all time🦋
