_{Content available from October 25th until October 29th | Available only via invitation}

This family-friendly tale, based on French picture books by author Gabrielle Vincents, is a wonderful introduction to subtitled cinema for younger moviegoers, especially if they’re familiar with the original movie. — Common Sense Media

In a film whose moral emphasizes the necessity of artistic freedom, there is a deceptive simplicity to this aesthetic style that makes it all the more special. — New York Times
