We're back! Today we are reviewing the French animated movie "Ernest and Celestine." Now mind you, we did not watch the original French version of this movie, but "instead," Jay and I watched the dubbed over version in English. "Ernest and Celestine" is a delightful movie about the friendship of Ernest, a bear and Celestine, a mouse. Ernest and Celestine are an unlikely pair for several reasons, but mostly because of their meeting by chance ... Ernest lives above Celestine, in the bear world and Celestine lives underground in the mouse world. 

There are many details to this Story, all of which eventually come together at the end of the movie. The two main characters find out that they need each other's help to live and survive together in this world where things are not always easy. 

Even though, this is a movie made for kids to enjoy, there is a lot of commentary on various social and political topics. 

That being said, I think that people of all ages would enjoy this beautifully animated film.

The American version includes many famous voice overs. You might recognize a few names ... Check it out on a snowy or rainy afternoon ...
