Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the little bear's room that Celestine finds her way into towards the beginning of the movie, there is a poster for the director's previous film A Town Called Panic (2009).
- GoofsWhen the stolen van's camouflage paint job washes off and the van rolls back into town, it leaves a trail of paint that leads the police right to Ernest and Celestine's house. The rain, however, should have washed away the trail of paint, too, and left no way to follow it back.

Featured review
European Animation at its Finest
Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK) Rating:3.8/5 stars
Simplistic, sublime, superlative. Classic hand-drawn animation set against a picturesque Parisian background that is filled with an ambiance of great human divide and strong social references. At the heart of this wonderful tale is an endearing story of true friendship that withstands all odds to not only emerge triumphant but also infuse others around them and even the cynics who watch the film to have a change of heart. This soaring tale of friendship also brings forth a profound social commentary told with subtle metaphorical actions, which resonate brilliantly with our own state of human affairs.
