Tales of the Night

" Eighty-four minutes is about right for this style of animation. Even at that trim running time, the silhouette approach won't be for everyone. Ocelot's unity of vision, though, cannot be denied. Your kids, even the preteens, will likely fall headlong into his worlds. " 

"Michel Ocelot tells six fairy tales here, none too long to outstay its welcome, all told with a pleasing energy (...) The stories are all fantastical (...) The film is intended for family audiences. It is so gentle and whimsical that one wonders if American children, accustomed to the whiz-bang action of most animation, will accept it." 

" A delight from start to finish. "
