“Globalization is basically having no taste in anything anymore,” he said. “Hand-drawn animation should still be full of different styles.”

“It’s really sad,” Chomet added, but then he smiled. “I’m going to carry on doing my films, because at least I’ll be very original.”

🎬 Marcel et Monsieur Pagnol (2025 🇨🇵 1H30) est un #film d'animation de Sylvain Chomet.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

📝 #biopic de Marcel Pagnol (1895-1974) qui met en avant le dramaturge et le cinéaste et permet d'aller au delà de l'écrivain. L'apparition de Marcel n'apporte pas grand chose mais le dessin avec son côté suranné est réussi. Les extraits de films au sein de l'animation sont une belle idée.

Directed by Sylvain Chomet (2010)
Written by #SylvainChomet and #JacquesTati

Jacques Tati originally wrote the script for The Illusionist. It was a love letter from a father to his first daughter, but never got produced. Sylvain Chomet, director of The Triplets of Belleville / Les Triplettes de Belleville, adapted the script and once again used his own original animated style.
