KMBO

Released September 14 – A program of 4 animated short films carried by the film The Tiger who invited himself for teaadapted from the album by Judith Kerr. As young Sophie is about to have tea with her mother, a tiger rings the doorbell and politely asks for a cup of tea. Will Sophie and her mum have prepared enough tea and cakes for this great gourmand?

Also on the program “Le Tigre sur la table”, in which a little tiger is far too greedy, “When I grow up” where a kitten dreams of becoming a tiger and “Tigers à la queue leu leu” in which a lazy child goes do everything to never have to work again.

Lasting 42 minutes, this program which puts felines at the center of attention is ideal for a first cinema. The very sober animation on a white background, as in the book, allows young spectators to easily immerse themselves in the story. The film also conveys a message of tolerance and sharing.

The filmmaker explains: “Ecology is an integral part of our existence. My goal is to tell a story, in a simple narrative form, both attractive and instructive. I want to speak to all ages and, in particular , to children.

When we talk to them, it’s obvious to me that we have to talk about ecology: that’s why I do it in each of my films. Today, more than ever, it is important to talk about it since what is at stake is neither more nor less than the future of humanity. I am very proud to have put this theme at the heart of my work for years.”

Thanks to a series of letters and clues, she discovers that he has given her an important task to accomplish. As she corrects her grandfather’s past mistakes, she manages to calm down.

The feature film shows the contrast between the stressful life of the city and the calm of the countryside where the problems are very different. A contrast accentuated by the difference between the animation techniques used. Digital for the city and stop-motion for the countryside.

Director Nuno Beato explains that Rosa’s quest is directly linked to the search for comfort brought by the embrace of the Other, the bonds of friendship, sharing and mutual aid. “We all need human ties that grow outside of economic success and the illusion it creates.” And the heroine will understand this when she leaves town.
