Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

bellasings-47917 Ernest & Celestine is beyond charming. I, as an adult, have persuaded many of my friends to watch this film & they fell in love with it as well. Ernest's unlikely friendship with Celestine is endearing & lovely. Both characters are well rounded & pure in the best way. The animation & music are honestly my favorite parts. They come together so beautifully & make the heart happy. It feels like a story that came to life on the pages & I couldn't enjoy it more.

AkelaLoneWolf A charming and heartwarming tale about the unlikely friendship between a bear and a mouse in a world divided by convention, tradition, assumptions and prejudice into two territories - the bears above ground and the mice underground. Painted in bright and cheerful watercolours, the audience followed the pair of "bandits" in their adventures and encountered the self-righteous, the hypocritical, the mercenary and the conforming members of both races on the way amidst laughter. The portrayal of Céléstine was most adorable as a dreamy coquettish schoolgirl and her attachment to Ernest the street musician was touching. The French are good at engineering happily-ever-after endings minus the dowdy feelings which were made possible by the kind nature of both protagonists and this movie is suitable even for children (unlike most modern remakes of fairy tales). One more note, it is amusing watching two equally biased and opinionated societies blackmouthing each other without realizing their similarities.

Red_Identity This is definitely film for very young kids, but like most animated films, it can be enjoyed by all ages. That doesn't mean that it's actually really great for older people, because for me, I found it way too simplistic. Still, it's solid, and the original foreign language voice performances are really great. I wish I could see it with the new English dubbing and all of the actors that lend their voices, but as it is it seems like it isn't all that needed. The basic plot is pretty simple for kids but I could also see some kids getting restless, since this isn't an adventure animated film like so many are used to. Still, recommended.

Mr-Fusion "A storybook come to life" is the best way to put ERNEST AND CELESTINE, a delightful piece of animation candy about friendship and unlikely bonding. A bear and a mouse, both on opposite sides of societal convention, band together as misfits. And to see the two warm to each other is the emotional core of the movie - and really, Celestine (and Mackenzie Foy's performance) is about the sweetest damn thing imaginable.ERNEST AND CELESTINE doesn't run short on heart and magic, and the movie's all the better for it. Gotta hand it to the French to bring to life something this pure and whimsical.7/10
