(74 min)
Here’s a group of fables, told in stunning animation and live-action. You’ll swim to an enchanted Italian villa, go on a voyage through the night sky, find out why the wily fox doesn’t always win his battles and travel deep inside an ice cave to melt a mystery.
Ages 8+. Films in Italian, Russian, and Danish have subtitles. There are a few tense moments when sensitive viewers might worry about the underdog in battles between foxes and birds. There are happy endings!
