yeah i'll probably get around to watching it, looks charming af ngl
I will watch the sequel, but I will wait.
Not that interested since basically nobody from the first movie is involved with it. Early ratings said it was an ok sequel.
First movie’s brilliant thought, an anon livestreamed it way back in 2013 and the subtitles had a single f-bomb which was surprised us all. It was so funny to watch an adorable adventure film and then all of a sudden “WHAT THE FRICK?”
>Not that interested since basically nobody from the first movie is involved with it.
wait really? that's a big disappointment
>basically nobody from the first movie is involved with it
Wait, I did not know about that part.
Movies like this will never get nominated by the Oscars again. It’s all about jerking off Disney, Sony, Netflix and other corporate studios now.
I wonder how it can still mean anything for them.

>it's gonna look fricking rad on my wall
>gonna get so many chicks wet
No wait, I can see it.
Reminder that the Academy deliberately changed the nomination process for the Animated Film category because too many artistic films were being nominated.
I believe pic related was the tipping point. DreamWorks, Illumination, BlueSky, etc were pissed off that their expensive CGI movies got passed over in favor of indie and foreign stuff with a fraction of their budgets.
My understanding is that the story itself is meh, that it lacks all the heart of the original, that the plot is weak, and that the characters' motivations are practically nonexistent. But at the same time it's clear that the makers love animation and it shows in the art and Duck Amuck/Spiderverse playfulness with the medium.
i haven't seen it myself, though, so this could be a bunch of horseshit.
I did see the movie and I can confirm that this is true. The animation is gorgeous with it's watercolor style, but the plot is basically based on one sentence Ernest said one in the first movie.
You can easily guess who's Mifasol from his very first scene, and Ernest dad's sudden violin repairing skills came out of nowhere.
Looks neat
Kino
if you told me that this was an anime made by Japanese Francophiles I'd believe you, and I mean that as a compliment, I love media that are made by Japanese who read too many French children books

No, and now I never will.
Frick these rightious virtual signalling c**ts.
I will never support something that is promoted by ~~*them*~~
Frick the creators for being political

boo!
Ernest & Celestine is a DELIGHTFUL film. I hope the sequel comes close to matching that same vibe, even if it's a different team involved. Speaking of which, one of the OG directors is apparently making a film with Illumination, so I'm curious how that'll turn out
It's lookin like it's Duck Season…
The art style is wonderful. Both cute and incredibly pretty.
Anyone has mega link?
Not to piggy back on the ebegging but has anyone got a link to a torrent/download for the "En Hiver"/Winter short film
There also was a TV show, right?
Yeah. It was CG iirc
is France a real place?
I didn't because I can't find a good copy of the film
And yes, it looks adorable
>sequel
Wait what?
It's only slightly better than the fox movie by virtue of being a complete story rather than a string of vignettes.
what would you do if you found her sleeping in your garbage can?
warm blanket and a large mug of hot cocoa she’d barely be able to hold in her itty bitty hands due to it being designed for bears. maybe a straw to help her drink up
There's a series too and it's just as cute.

I watched Ernest and Celestine about a year ago, the credits theme and Celestine's theme are still in my playlist.
Still hoping for a theatrical release of the sequel in Canada. Too bad the TV show doesn't look as good.
Doesn't the movie start with the bear about to murder the mouse and then it's glossed over?
I doubt the sequel will ever live up to the beautiful original, but I'm happy a sequel got made at all.
>I doubt the sequel will ever live up to the beautiful original
Why's that?
