07.00 pm : My mummy is in America and she met Buffalo Bill by MarcBoreal andThibaut Chatel (1h15) That pleasantly elongated title relates to a young lad’s absent mother and the letters he intermittently receives from her. Little Jean clearly yearns for the comforting clutch of maternal love. But with a father too involved in his working day to take much notice, Jean begins to resort to fantasy as a means of filling the void. Directors Merc Boreál and Thibaus Chatel’s simply animated film is based on Jean Regnaud and Emile Bravo’s acclaimed book of the same name.

This educational animated program aims at kindling awarness among young children for whom the environment is a prime centre of interest.

 4.00 pm : The king and the mockingbird by Paul Grimault (1h23)

The huge kingdom of Takicardia is ruled by a king under the unwieldy title of Charles V + III = VIII + VIII = XVI. He’s a heartless ruler, hated by his people as much as he hates them. The king is fond of hunting, but is unfortunately cross-eyed – not that anyone would dare acknowledge this in front of him, as the numerous statues and paintings that adorn the palace and the land show. Occasionally the king does hit his target though, notably the wife of the bird, known only as “l’Oiseau”, the narrator of the story who takes pleasure in taunting the terrible king at every opportunity.
