ELEONORE'S SECRET
(Kerity, la maison des contes)
(2009, France/Italy) Directed by Dominique Monfrey

The power of narrative and the pleasures of reading are luminously illustrated, in this fantastical story of a magic library where fairytales come to life. Bequeathed this literary treasure trove by his aunt, seven-year-old Nathaniel must embark on an adventure with classic characters, from Alice in Wonderland to Little Red Riding Hood, and all manner of fairies, elves and pirates in between, to save the library from destruction.

KIRIKOU AND THE WILD BEASTS
(Kirikou et les bêtes sauvages)
(2005) Directed by Michel Ocelot and Bénédicte Galup

Kirikou and the Wild Beasts takes ups the story of its titular hero soon after the conclusion of Michel Ocelot and Bénédicte Galup's first, classic foray into West African mythology, Kirikou and the Sorceres (1998). Here, the evil witch Karaba unleashes a whole new wave of plagues that the diminutive but determined Kirikou must defeat to save his village.
