SW in French Media

[chocolatejr9]

Somebody in another thread suggested that we dedicate a section to all the SW stuff from France, and given how surprisingly popular it seems to be over there, I figured we may as well. Cartoons, comics, anything can go over here if you think it fits.

Good idea. And I didn't know this about France.
But anyway, there's Fantastic Planet's opening sequence for starters

Miraculous Ladybug!

France, when I was there in 2003, had a boat load of commercials featuring SW - sadly, after 20 years, I don't remember which products they were for. One of their morning shows had an SW bump.

Miraculous Ladybug!

Wonderful animation, frustrating storyline. Was there any SW in it?

That is actually an Italian ad. Now were are these tiny Italian babes that are your personal assistant. Now only that they are flirty and good looking. Molto bene!

Okay did not expect my suggestion to actually turn into a thread…neat.

Here's a french movie called My Life is Hell. Happens around 36 minutes. Turn on the captions for subs.

Not yet, sadly.

I've recently posted "Armude de Jade" (Jade's Armor), Tara Duncan and a few more on the SW in Western Animation Compilation thread.

Totally Spies!

(and many more episodes...)

There is a new season of Tara Duncan coming soon, and the reboot of Totally Spies too.

Surprised to see nothing from Ankama has delved into here. Shrinking territory yep but nothing really SW as far as I’m aware.

I watched this on the Disney Channel or Disney XD (formerly Toon Disney), I can't remember which. At first, I thought that the female member of the team wasn't going to get shrunk (just like in both Ghostbusters cartoons), but she gets shrunk later in the episode:'



A clip with most of the SW content, in French:

This was on YouTube's homepage recently. I think it's a commercial:

Loved that commercial!

I think that this is French...

In the late 1940's, the puppeteer Lou Bunin did an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland that combined a live action Alice with stop motion animation:



I think that the entire movie is on YouTube, in English. But I'm holding off for the restored Blu-ray version from Thunderbean Animation, which I pre-ordered. It's being done with the collaboration of Lou Bunin's family:

Notice that it was filmed in Anscocolor. You can thank Walt Disney for that. He told Technicolor that if "the other Alice" was filmed in Technicolor, Walt Disney Productions would no longer be using Technicolor. (Though I find that hard to believe.) So Lou Bunin's version was filmed in Anscocolor. (And I think that Walt Disney blocked the release of Lou Bunin's version in the US until after his own version of Alice in Wonderland had been in theaters.)

Great discovery, thanks

This guy was treated unfairly, but you have to admit these puppetoons are creepy not very good.
