The King and the Mockingbird

Thirty years in the making, this wonderful animated feature is a well-loved classic in its native France, and screens here for the first time in a new restoration with English soundtrack.

The tale of a pompous king and the bird who teases him at every turn, its technical achievements are unrivalled; the men who founded Studio Ghibli studied it frame by frame before making their first film. A treat not to be missed.
