The Magical Worlds of Michel Ocelot | Film Video Essay

[@forest.greens]

Azur and Asmar was one of my favourite movies when I grew up, and still is. I was enchanted by the atmosphere and visuals, and its themes and storytelling spoke to me in a way that has made it impossible to forget. I find myself returning to it again and again, but I rarely find anyone else who have seen it (both irl and online) that I can share the sense of wonder with. Thanks for making this:-)

Thank you for this video! I love Michel Ocelot's work, and it's lovely to see a video introducing his animation to more people.

Thank you for watching! Always so lovely to see people still commenting on a high school film class project that I’m still quite proud of! 😅

I saw azur and asmar back in 2009 at Bradford animation festival at first I didn’t like how it looked but slowly it grew on me and I was drawn in by the storytelling. It led me to seek out some of ocelots other films, he’s an incredible director. Really enjoy his work. Kirikou is a must see

I saw Michel Ocelot mentioned in a Princess Weekes video's comments and found your video. This is such a great video! I'm subscribing just in case you make more :)

That’s so kind of you to say! I always love to read the new comments on my old high school project. Very busy with college these days but maybe I’ll make more film videos someday, who knows!

Wonderful video and a great introduction to this director that is unfortunately not as well known as he should rightfully be!
