In our sensory saturated culture these days, we often forget just how enchanting the simpler productions can be. Princes Et Princesses is an animated French film, composed of 6 episodes, all telling the stories of princes and princesses. The animation is done in silhouette form (I always struggled spelling that word)
and is reminiscent of "The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)."
The animation itself, was simple, yet beautifully captivating. When artists begin to clutter the screen with meaningless over the top visuals, it deludes your focus to what is actually happening on it. I thought the stories were charming and creatively depicted.
I could see this being one of my favorites as a child. It was a real treat to see this film.
