Directed by: Michel Ocelot
Cast: Voices of Julien Beramis, Marine Griset, Michel Elias
Language: French

Animated feature in which an elderly writer and a young actress dream up and perform six stories about a young hero's attempts to win the hand of a princess. The old-fashioned imagery is highly distinctive, and the sedate pace and dialogue-heavy storytelling allow the viewer to appreciate the beauty.
