Wikipedia article




'Princes et Princesses' (Princes and Princesses) is a 2000 compilation film by French animator Michel Ocelot.

The film consists of six episodes of the 1989 French silhouette animation television series 'Cin si'.

Release



Produced in 1999 by Les Armateurs and released to French cinemas on 26 January 2000, 'Princes et princesses' became Ocelot's second feature film (following 1998's 'Kirikou and the Sorceress'). The feature version comprises slightly edited versions of 6 of the 8 12-minute episodes, with the addition of a 1-minute intermission at the half-way point. In Japan, it was distributed on DVD-Video with the co-operation of Studio Ghibli, initially in the Ghibli Cinema Library and re-released under the Ghibli Museum Library label. The film won both the adult and children's jury awards at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival.

Home media

As of November 2010, there are no known plans to release 'Princes et princesses' in the United Kingdom or Australia. It has seen home video releases in the United States and earlier in Canada, however, where it is only available as the second disc of a 'Kirikou and the Sorceress' two-DVD set. Both discs have English subtitles, though only for the main feature on each. Also, there is no DVD which uses the full, original, 1.5:1 aspect ratio; they are optimised for either 4:3 or 16:9 screens and playing the pillarboxed widescreen version on a 4:3 television will result in windowboxing.
