A visually enchanting, playful collection of reimagined fairy tales told through striking silhouette animation, balancing whimsy with romantic and fantastical elements.

In this episodic animated fantasy from France, an art teacher interprets a series of six fairy tales (each involving a prince or princess) with the help of two precocious students. Princes and Princesses was created using a special style of cutout animation, with black silhouetted characters performing the action against backlit backdrops in striking colors.
