What it’s about. A silhouette animation anthology TV series conceived, written and directed by Michel Ocelot and realised at La Fabrique, consisting of short fantastical stories performed by the same animated "actors." A critical success but commercial failure at the time, no further episodes were commissioned beyond the initial 8, but, following the success of Ocelot's Kirikou and the Sorceress, 6 were edited into the 2000 feature Princes and Princesses, in which form they finally saw wide exposure and acclaim both in France and internationally; a further episode was included in a home release of short works in 2008, but one remains unavailable for public consumption.

Who’s in it. Ciné si stars Yves Barsacq as Théo (voice), Philippe Cheytion as Him (voice), Arlette Mirapeu as Her (voice) and François Voisin as Additional Voices (voice).
