Now here is a real treat, people.

GhibliWorld’s Peter van der Lugt (friend of our site and occasional contributor) visited Michel Ocelot in his studio in Paris, and had a loooong talk with him about, well, all things animated. So if you have any interest in the subject, head over to GhibliWorld.com and read!

Michel Ocelot is of course the creator of “Kirikou and the Sorceress” and recently the absolutely stunning “Azur et Asmar”.

Amongst the many things being discussed are a short movie Mr. Ocelot created which plugs a big gap in “Azur et Asmar”, and the inspiration for it was…

    I just uploaded the (French) trailer for Ocelot’s Princes et princesses (Princes and Princesses) to the Twitch player today. I got an e-mail telling me that it’s “premiered on Brightcove.tv” but I can’t find the Twitch player’s P2 tab, where it should be. I did, however, in looking for it find the the trailer for Peking Opera Blues, which was fun.
