Visually amazing and simple animation that is better than some Disney works for instance, but the story ins't really great, especially in the middle part when it drags a little and becomes boring. Overall it's good, with a tasteful music that combines with the movie atmosphere and the non-important characters adds some good scenes.

Stunningly beautiful, this classic French animation masterpiece got a botched release in the '50's (against Grimault's wishes) under the title "La Bergère et le Ramoneur", and was properly completed and re-released in 1980. Not much dialogue, but Prévert's unique brand of poetry pervades the whole film, and the animation is flawless. Oh - and a magnificent score by Wojciech Kilar. An absolute gem.

Good story with some sweet animation and strong use of sound.

Great music, good animation .. but story, screenplay.. hmm.. maybe I am missing something, maybe there is subtler meaning to it, but seemed kind of hotchpotch to me. If you factor in the period in which this was created, a great effort. But I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I had hoped for. (Maybe language was the problem.. or some other thing..)
