Storyline

Inspired by the famous La Fontaine fable, «The Cricket and Antoinette» is a humorous story dealing with genuine qualities: tolerance, love and overcoming obstacles. Two main characters, Django and Antoinette, represent two separate worlds, the world of noise, chaos and creativity on the one side, and the world of work, order and discipline on the other. As they fall in love, in spite of obvious differences, they manage to create harmony.

A well-known story told in a new and original way, bound to the world of music and songs and based on atmospheric and rich aesthetics, presents a good foundation for an animated feature film.
