"A storybook come to life" is the best way to put ERNEST AND CELESTINE, a delightful piece of animation candy about friendship and unlikely bonding. A bear and a mouse, both on opposite sides of societal convention, band together as misfits. And to see the two warm to each other is the emotional core of the movie - and really, Celestine (and Mackenzie Foy's performance) is about the sweetest damn thing imaginable.
ERNEST AND CELESTINE doesn't run short on heart and magic, and the movie's all the better for it. Gotta hand it to the French to bring to life something this pure and whimsical.
7/10
