‘Little Amelie’ Review: Awards Buzz Awaits This Delightfully Dark Meditation On Life And Death From A Child’s Perspective – Annecy Festival

Little Amelie isn’t the whimsical prequel to Amélie you might expect—it’s a darker, more introspective animated film that explores life and death through a child’s eyes. Directors Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han craft a visually striking, deeply French tale that resonates with both thoughtful adults and kids who appreciate a bit of existential flair (and chic berets). Already generating awards buzz at Annecy, it’s the kind of film that lingers long after the credits roll.
