INTERVIEW
-
Directors Maïlys Vallade & Liane-Cho Han on Little Amélie or the Character of Rain 🌧️✨
From adapting Amélie Nothomb to animating childhood in Japan, they share how Amélie’s world came to life on screen.

Amélie is a little Belgian girl born in Japan. Thanks to her friend Nishio-san, life is a succession of adventures and discoveries. But on her third birthday, a single event changes everything. Because for Amélie, everything is at stake at her age, happiness as well as tragedy.

The film is being released in the US on October 31 and is also part of MyFrenchAnimationDays
