Ernest and Celestine

There’s a world where bears can drive, hold down jobs and go to school. In that same world, the subterranean sewage system is populated by mice who sneak into town at night and steal young cubs’ teeth in order to supply their underground dental industry.

There’s a world where bears can drive, hold down jobs and go to school. In that same world, the subterranean sewage system is populated by mice who sneak into town at night and steal young cubs’ teeth in order to supply their underground dental industry. Ernest, a bear and Celestine, a mouse, meet and become inseparable. The filmmaking duo behind "A Town Called Panic", return with Benjamin Renner in tow, bringing Gabrielle Vincent’s storybook characters to life in a film that’s bursting with tenderness. K.Th.
