Ernest & Celestine

Ernest & Celestine

Bears live upstairs and mice live downstairs and never the twain shall meet. That’s just the way it is.

This delicate balance between the species is blown wide-apart when Ernest, a large, solitary and rather grumpy bear meets Célestine, a wide-eyed orphan mouse who previously never believed that big bears even existed.

Eventually he welcomes her into his home. Despite the company and support that they give one another, and against all odds, this is a friendship that flies in the face of the established order of things.

Before long the mice and bear authorities, fearing the change that they are confronted with, are forced to work together to address the problem presented by our two heroes.

Benjamin Renner joins forces with established team Patar and Aubier (A Town Called Panic) to create an exceptional film that brings life to Gabrielle Vincent’s enchanting characters and her beautifully drawn animal world.

Starring: Lambert Wilson, Pauline Brunner
