• Nice ecology-comedy for the whole family

  franbelle102016-08-29

  This is a nice animation for the whole family (age 8+), on an ecology-comedy style. There are some similarities with "Mia and the Migou" (from the same Jacques-Remy Gired), but a lighter treatment of the ecological theme ; the balance is tipping a bit more on the comedy and poetry side which makes it more suitable for younger children. The theme doesn't deal with deforestation this time but genetically modified organisms and chemistry in agronomy. Still the message remains understandable by younger ones even if they can't understand the engineering at work. Animation process is lighter and brighter as well, colorfully sketched on white background. Scenario is inventive with many rebounds while the whole story remains linear and easy to understand for children. That doesn't means adults are forgotten; characters are caricatured but there is a second level for adults completely transparent and compatible with them (no sexual jokes nor anything like that ; the only victim would be political and capitalist greed).
