Movie Info
In this wryly inventive parable, a kingdom is divided into the three castes: the impeccably painted Alldunns who reside in a majestic palace; the Halfies who the Painter has left incomplete; and the untouchable Sketchies, simple charcoal outlines who are banished to the cursed forest. Chastised for her forbidden love for an Alldunn and shamed by her unadorned face, Halfie Claire runs away into the forest. Her beloved Ramo and best friend Lola journey after her, passing between the forbidden

Helmer Jean-Francois Laguionie's consistently enjoyable, inventive and beautifully crafted tale is a color riot suitable for all ages.
Top CriticInventive, fanciful, and decidedly UN Disney.
A marvellous French animation unafraid of broaching big ideas with a potentially pre-teen audience.
...an imaginative parable to teach children about creationism as well as racism, colonialism and many other human evils, framed in a manner that adults will appreciate too.
Adults will be charmed as much as kids, and the film's depiction of Venice, awash in orange and yellows, almost rivals the real thing.
Audience Reviews for The Painting
Then "Le Tableau" enters the most surprising details such as what if we were able to determine of our destiny or forms, and what if some event could delete any differences between human beings .. Is it possible to return back to a life after death..Suddenly it asks a question in a atheistic tendency .. Who is God? And how He had been created? Is there a creator of God? if not how He exist?
That strange case of this film makes it one of the most animated films that I saw in my life in the boldness and clarity of questions, and in overwhelming the desire to stimulate and provoke the spectator to doubt as a means of perception, or a way for seeking the truth.
That simplicity that accompanied the pictures that do not just carry that dazzling but a large amount of tasty creativity. Flat cartoon characters does not give the impression of three-dimension, though actually look like a grenade fees or clippings fugitive running away from paintings of "Picasso". The music which takes long tracks alike "concertos" is something deep or historical coming out of the Beats "Bach" and "Beethoven".
"Le Tableau" with its simple way is a breathtaking light story, and upscale fascinating individual cartoon must be seen by all liberal watchers, who can look deep in and understand its thoughts.. What a aesthetic work worths shedding light on it, and mustn't ever remain in dark.
