Synopsis

Poor Nathaniel: he’s seven and he still can’t read. To make things worse, his aunt Eleanor leaves him her collection of children’s books; a collection that wouldn’t be that special if it wasn’t for its characters, who become independent from the books they were locked into, and start protecting Nathaniel. As a sort of sweet counterpart to Shrek, the magical thing about Eleanor’s Secrets is that it works with magic in such a way it incorporates tradition and gives it a twist. Especially when it conceives books as ‘houses’ made out of pages, histories and characters –Alice, Hook, and many others are there as a challenge: We must discover them!–, leading to dreams and imagination, but also to fear. That duality that’s typical of the fine worlds –rarely achieved by animation films, at least not with the intensity of Dominique Monféry–, is due to the slightly melancholic and refined plasticity of Rebecca Dautremer’s drawings, as well as the glow of the story created by Anik Le Ray. Welcome to what adults usually call ‘unforgettable’.
