La Vieille Dame et les Pigeons - Sylvain Chomet

[@annejamieyeah]

Ugh for the 100th time i just cant stop going back to this, i love everything about it, little to no dialogue, the sounds, the environment, art style, the animation, the story,for some reason this just relaxes but excites me at the same time✨

[@simonrice5748]

I'm glad the Simpsons did the Sylvain Chomet Couch Gag, which has led me to this cartoon as I've been trying to find it on KZbin for a good few years as I remember watching it as a kid.

[@EABthe3]

Chomet is a master in animation, no doubt, but I think my favorite aspect in his works is the sound design. Very ASMR like, super detailed as hell. It's insane

[@lordchausson7863]

Je me rappelle du visionnage de ce court-métrage dans une petite salle du 19ème arrondissement, c'était incroyable. Ce jour là, je suis tombé amoureux de la patte graphique de Nicolas de Crécy.

[@JedAnimationStudios]

I'm in love with this animation. This is probably the 5 time in two days I've come back to watch it. The style, colours, music, it's brilliant

[@Kids_Scissors]

I love the voicelessness of the main character. Makes him so much easier to relate to and connect too

[@roachmorphine8018]

If you connect with an ungrateful, rude, heartless, manipulative piece of garbage you seriously need help. He's not the "good guy" in this story, he's the character we're meant to learn from by not being like him.

[@Kids_Scissors]

@@roachmorphine8018 I wanna make it clear that I felt sympathetic at first when I wrote this and I thought he was just hungry lol

[@humavenado6401]

@@Kids_Scissors Chomet makes every single character in here somehow despicable lol I felt bad for the dead pigeon tho

[@ad3l547]

@@roachmorphine8018 Hunger leads to gluttony, I know it's bad but honestly he thought he found a loophole to eat infinitly, and since basically he couldn't afford fresh food it was the most obvious choice for him. Remember : it's the real world in there, everyone do everything to survive

As a American this is spot on🤣😂 and I remembered this from my college days absolutely pure gold then and now😃 I just watched this in my backyard huffing a lucky strike and just vibing with all the sounds and I can't help but love your palette both in tone of the setting and color 😌 can't lie when the officer saw her sharping hedge clippers it caught me off guard in the best ways 😎

I did the same in 1997ish as a 12 year old. I've been haunted and mesmerised by it ever since 😂

[@millennialthatplaysfortnit4608]

I don't know what it is about the french, but their art is so similar to one another as if their culture has integrated an amazing style within their artists.

[@wider7998]

Id argue, that america’s view of french art is stereotypical because its exactly what they want from it. Less cliché art, even, a lot of times better then what you guys get, dont make it overseas, since its not what is being looked out for. Same thing for art representation of other cultures (asian, latin/spanish, etc)

[@TheHumanBallsack]

I've been haunted since I randomly watched it late one night back in 1997

[@noraisabel6557]

That video reminds me that Spongebob Squarepants episode when Gary leaves Spongebob's home and now he's living in a old lady's house where she feeds Gary until he's fattened up. While Gary lives with that old lady, she shows him old pictures of her old snails. A short while later, when Gary opens a closet, he sees that it is full of empty snail shells, implying that the old lady eats the snails that come to her house, then he realizes he's put on a lot of weight and now Gary has to escape from that place while the old lady tries to kill him to eat him

Does anyone know what the main theme of this short is called? I know it's made by Jean Corti, thanks to the credits, but I can't seem to find the damn thing. The only song I can find that resembles it is Fiorina, but the problem with it is that it has a voice over it, so I can't listen to it as an instrumental. If anyone has a link to the actual song, they will be forever in my debt.
