Wonderful - Ernest and Celestine review by CP Customer
At one level this is a simply beautiful animation about a mouse and bear becoming friends. At another level it is deep social commentary about the challenge of overcoming divisions and prejudice. As an allegory of racial, religious or ideological intolerance, it's moving and profound, bringing to mind the graphic novel Maus.
If you just want to watch an adventure cartoon, it's that too.

Delightful - Ernest and Celestine review by EJ
Simply animated, but that's not a bad thing. This is a charming piece, with a thoughtful storyline. Glad I watched it.

We returned without watching it - No Dubbed version - Ernest and Celestine review by CP Customer
Hi,
This looks a delightful film and after my 5yo watched the English-dubbed trailer on the CP website, she was so excited to put it in the player to watch it. However her disappointment was great when we realised that the title screen doesnt offer an english-dubbed version.
Sorry to sound like a philistine hear but we are talking a 5yo who wanted to see this (we do watch many subtitled World cinema usually).
She can't read subtitles yet and doesnt understand french, so was a little upset when it was her turn/pick of a film within the family, that she couldn't understand the language. She continued with it but lost interest several times, which is not like her.
Please rectify this CP (we love your service and this so far is an only blip!
