Molly in Springtime

Wintertime is harsh in the land of King Balthasar, especially if you're Léon, an eight-year-old adopted bear suffering from an identity crisis. "My name's Léon and I'm not a bear!" he insists. After the distraught cub runs away from home, a mischievous storyteller called Bonifacio sweet-talks him into performing on stage. Along with his good friends the Hedgehog and Hannibal the Elephant, Léon embarks on many adventure, stands up to an ogre, and saves Princess Molly Gingerbread from ending up in a pea stew. Braving the ogre, the cold, and the storm brewing in his heart, Léon travels far and wide. His courage eventually leads him back to his parents, who work as beekeepers. Pure, tender and as sweet as honey, this puppet animation is a delightful medieval tale. Léon is irresistible.

C'est Carnaval au pays du roi Balthasar et le vilain Boniface ambitionne de détrôner Léon pour devenir le roi bidon. Toutefois, parions que Mélie Pain d'Épice et sa complice sauront déjouer le félon et sauver toute la population. Ce film d'animation de marionnettes, réalisé par Pierre Luc Granjon, met en scène une fable médiévale sublime dans la plus pure tradition.

Love has packed up and left the castle. The queen has snuck back to her Kingdom of Skedaddle. But one person's loss is a scoundrel's gain: Bonifacio, a teller of tall tales, sees in the forlorn queen the perfect target for his hackneyed charms. As summer approaches, he changes himself into a sweet talker and sings her praises. Things would have worked out perfectly if only Princess Molly hadn't arrived on the scene. While visiting her mother, she quickly discovers the hoax: the queen thinks she's found a new husband in Bonifacio. But the swindling storyteller is really only interested in the kingdom's legends. Some say that the age-old stories will lead whoever knows how to decipher their message to the top of an inaccessible mountain, where the famous Skedaddle apples can be found. If they get into the wrong hands, the magic fruit could be as dangerous as poison: they would endow whoever possessed them with the power to control everything! Will Molly and her three best friends be able to make the queen see through Bonifacio's deception before the crafty liar skedaddles with the golden apples? Bonifacio in Summertime is a colourful animated film that is sure to delight children of all ages, whether they're 7 or 77.
