Poppety in the Fall

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.

Cet automne-là, le royaume de Balthasar est mystérieusement privé d'histoires, jetant dans les cœurs ennui et morosité. Pougne, le hérisson grognon, est d'avis que Boniface, le vilain conteur, y est pour quelque chose. Se lançant à ses trousses, il découvre vite fait le pot aux roses. Le fripon a volé la corne de la licorne, transformant son visage de filou en tête de loup. Rapporter la corne dans le ventre du monde est la solution. Pougne mènera alors l'expédition, accompagné de Dame Jeannette et de Mélusine. Dans leur périple à travers le dédale d'une grotte et même sous la mer, les aventuriers dénoueront toute l'affaire, non sans lever le voile sur un gros secret du passé qui trouvera écho jusque dans le cœur de Léon. L'automne de Pougne clôt le cycle des quatre saisons dans la vie du charmant ourson, bouclant la boucle sur une épopée captivante. Une animation sensible et fine sur l'amour, la famille et le pardon. Le film est également offert en 3D stéréoscopique.

It's carnival in Balthasarville and the scoundrel Bonifacio is scheming to overthrow Léon and become King Quack. But he's outsmarted by Molly Gingerbread and her friend Hedgehog, who manage to save the townspeople Bonifacio has poisoned. This puppet animation by Pierre-Luc Granjon tells a medieval tale of treachery and love.
