Sleeping Betty/Isabelle au bois dormant
Description
Betty sleeps in a narcoleptic stupor. The king appeals to his subjects to wake the Princess, and they respond: Uncle Henri VIII, Aunt Victoria, an emotional alien, a cool witch and a handsome prince. This worthy Prince Charles lookalike has to leave his royal suburb to save the princess. But will Betty be wakened with just a kiss?
Drawn in Indian ink, this animation sets the Perrault classic in Claude Cloutier’s disjointed, anachronistic and playful universe.
