Film: Le Roi et l’Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird) @ Kunjanimation

Le Roi et l’Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird)is regarded as a masterpiece in the history of French animation. Its creation started in 1948, loosely based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep. It was a collaboration by director Paul Grimault and French poet Jacques Prévert, but due to production problems, the version they envisaged was only finished thirty years after they started it.
