Watch Tales of the Night Movie Online No Survey Tales of the Night is renowned animation auteur Michel Ocelot's first foray into 3D animation. A hit at the Berlin Film Festival, the film extends the earlier shadow puppet style of Ocelot's Princes and Princesses, with black silhouetted characters set off against exquisitely detailed Day-Glo backgrounds bursting with color and kaleidoscopic patterns - the subtle use of 3D creating a diorama-like effect. The film weaves together six exotic fables each unfolding in a unique locale, from Tibet, to medieval Europe, an Aztec kingdom, the African plains, and even the Land of the Dead. In Ocelot's storytelling, history blends with fairytale as viewers are whisked off to enchanted lands full of dragons, werewolves, captive princesses, sorcerers, and enormous talking bees - and each fable ends with its own ironic twist. -- (C) GKIDS Release Date Tales of the Night Sep 26, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Tales of the Night |
The movie never comes close to replicating the spell that Reiniger was able to cast using much more primitive techniques, which underlines a chronic problem of computer animation: its very precision squeezes all the magic from the magic lantern. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
It is so gentle and whimsical that one wonders if American children, accustomed to the whiz-bang action of most animation, will accept it. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Six mostly engaging fairy tales are digitally rendered with silhouetted characters performing in front of vivid, colorful backgrounds. Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times
Has ... eye-bending backgrounds but a creatively monochromatic foreground that comes to feel like a limitation. Ty Burr-Boston Globe
More likely to play well with older children, due to its split-up story line, Ocelot's creation is like nothing else they are likely to see animating the multiplex. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
The narratives - involving princesses, sorcerers, dragons, talking animals - are familiar. But Mr. Ocelot invigorates them with lyricism ... Andy Webster-New York Times
Six stunningly animated fairy tales with a few mild scares Renee Schonfeld-Common Sense Media
The kaleidoscopic backgrounds offer a colorful counterpoint to the simple silhouettes that form the people, animals, and mythical beasts populating the six fables, each of which end with a ironic twist. Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix
The recent cartoons of Michel Ocelot cleverly advance Lotte Reiniger's prototypical stop-motion technique into the digital age. Joseph Jon Lanthier-Slant Magazine
It should please sensitive, well-brought-up children and nostalgists. Philip French-Observer [UK]
It's sweet but earthbound. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Tales Of The Night may be computer-animated, but its style is antique. Andrew Osmond-SFX Magazine
It's charming enough and the soundtrack has obviously been put together with care. -This is London
The pick-and-mix approach is limiting, but there's no denying these are gorgeous amuse-bouches, likely to be devoured by older, more discerning children and dyed-in-the-wool stoners alike. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK]
The six folk-like tales featuring dragons, witch doctors and a talking horse have a whimsical charm and are beautifully designed but - watched all at once - may leave younger children fidgeting. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
A uniquely joyful experience from a true original. Adam Woodward-Little White Lies
While the youngsters to whom the stories are aimed won't take long to get the fidgets, older viewers will undoubtedly appreciate the scenery a tad longer before joining them. Elliott Noble-Sky Movies
