The Prince's Journey (Jean-François Laguionie, 2019)

[esteban²]

While Louise by the Shore has yet to be released in most countries, the next movie by Jean-François Laguionie (The Painting, 2011) is already coming up ...

Featuring hand-drawn animation, The Prince’s Voyage (as it is called in some articles) follows an old monkey prince who finds himself lost and injured on an unknown shore, where he gets rescued by a young boy and sheltered by his parents, two scientists who have been exiled from their community for believing in the existence of other monkey civilizations. The animated fable tells the journey of this aging monkey who discovers a new civilization.

The Prince’s Journey (as it is called in other articles) is the latest in a string of auteur-driven animated features repped in international markets by UDI’s Urbanimation label, following Rémi Chayé’s “Long Way North,” Jan Bultheel’s “Cafard,” and most recently Arthur de Pins and Alexis Ducord’s critically acclaimed “Zombillenium,” which premiered at Cannes in the special screenings section and is opening this year’s Annecy Film Festival.
