I really want wanted to but couldn’t find French with English subtitles. So I (sadly) had to watch the English dub
This film was actually so amazing.
I loved the unique art style.
I just have one question: why are these talking animals making me emotional?
I would love to re watch this with the actual original French audio. Even though I didn’t mind the English version.
The actors did a great job.
