heartbreaking cartoons



The illusionist is the saddest movie i've seen in a long time. it's by the french guy that did the triplets of bellville, which is one of my favorite movies. the french guy adapted the screen play from a jacque tati script. jacque tati's movie mon oncle was one of my favorite movies when i was about six.



i watched it every day.

the illusionist is beautiful and almost totally without words and has a really great rabbit and a very tall magician. plus, cartoon 1940s scotland looks just great. but it broke my heart.

  1. I'm excited. I love almost totally without words. The movie theater in town is gonna get this one in a few weeks. I just saw Mon Oncle not too long ago, definitely in the past year and I really liked it! So silly. Probably a good kids movie. Maybe this is where your color palette comes from, partially.
