THE TRUE STORY OF PUSS'N BOOTS (La véritable histoire du Chat Botté)
2009 – 80 MN. Animated movie, recommended for ages 6-10
Meet Puss’N Boots – a strange cat who speaks like a human, with boots that seem to provide magical powers.

But on the way they encounter the King's dastardly chamberlain, his horrible hunchback, and an ogre who is not a pretty sight to behold!

TROUBLE AT TIMPELTILL (Les Enfants de Timpelbach)
2008 – 95 MN. Recommended for ages 9-11
Cast: Gérard Depardieu – Carole Bouquet -…and many children!
In the village of Timpeltill, children constantly play pranks on each other while resisting every kind of authority. At their wits’ end, the parents choose to leave the village. A village with no parents! Not such bad news, certainly not for the gangs of children who decide to confront each other in their quest to be the gang in control of their town.
