The Lion and the Mouse

Evelyn Lambart's well-known style of animation, using paper figures and brightly coloured backgrounds, is once again in evidence in this short film based upon an Aesop fable. This simple story tells the tale of two mice with different lifestyles, and suggests that it is far better to live simply and in peace than to live in luxury amidst danger. Film without words.

Reconstitution, en images et en musique d'un caractère tout à fait féerique, de cette fable ancienne tirée des plus belles pages du grand conteur grec, Ésope. Film sans paroles.

The vibrant images of this beautifully illustrated animation film will captivate all audiences, and will be particularly useful in the classroom to teachers of art and language arts. In this original fable the world loses its colours when a trout, obsessed by the beauty of the rainbow, steals it from the sky.
