Wickie anhela ser un vikingo grande y fuerte como su padre, Halvar. Cuando Halvar es secuestrado, es el cerebro de Wickie el que debe salvar a su padre y no su subdesarrollada fuerza vikinga. Wickie lidera a los hombres en esta aventura de capa y espada en la que recorren océanos embravecidos, playas tropicales y peligrosos páramos helados en busca del legendario tesoro de los dioses (que contiene la clave para liberar a su padre). La suspensión de la incredulidad le asegurará una sonrisa en la cara. Realizada por Christian Ditter, director de "Los cocodrilos" (PCFF 2011) y "Los cocodrilos contraatacan" (PCFF 2012), dos de las películas favoritas del público del PCFF.
“This letter is for the king… It’s vital to his country and to yours. Now that I can’t take it, you have to do it But beware. Enemies are everywhere.”
When a dying knight speaks these words to Tiuri, pushing a mysterious letter into the adolescent’s hands, the young squire must embark on a dangerous mission to save his kingdom. Though not yet a knight, Tiuri is forced to summon the courage and cunning of a seasoned veteran to complete this quest. Through dark woods and snowy mountains, Tiuri is pursued by thieves, spies and the ruthless Red Riders, all intent on stopping him before he can reach his goal. But by never forgetting the importance of friendship and the value of keeping a promise, Tiuri learns that you don’t need a sword and shield to act with the gallantry of a knight.
Director Pieter Verhoeff brings Tiuri’s quest to the screen in true epic style. The stunning natural settings will transport viewers to a medieval world of clashing swords, daring escapes and horseback chases. Based on the book by Tonke Dragt, “The Letter for the King” is a rich and exciting adventure story that celebrates the power of honesty and friendship.
Los Gnomos Azules que viven en una montaña son los encargados de la "plata mágica" que trae la luz del sol cada día. Los Gnomos Rojos son Gnomos granjeros con mala opinión de los altaneros Azules. Después de que un gnomo robe la plata mágica, el robo saca lo mejor de los dos grupos de gnomos para restaurar la luz del día. Con sombreros de gnomo para morirse y una persecución en trineo que envidiaría Tarantino, ésta es la película que batió récords de taquilla el día de su estreno en Noruega.
¿Alguna vez te has preguntado adónde vas cuando duermes? En esta preciosa película de animación stop-motion, Milo, un niño de seis años, se transforma en un personaje animado y se ve arrastrado al País de los Sueños, un mundo nocturno secreto de encanto y aventura. Allí se embarca en un coche-barco mágico a través de paisajes oníricos deliciosamente extraños (llenos de conejitos de chocolate gigantes, mujeres tarta de cumpleaños, nubes de algodón y montañas de cartón piedra) en una misión para intentar acabar con los planes del nefasto Habumar, creador de pesadillas, que ha amenazado a los niños de todo el mundo robándoles la Arena de los Sueños. Esta película suntuosamente artesanal es perfecta para el público más joven, con sus personajes juguetonamente ingeniosos inmersos en paisajes oníricos brillantemente coloridos. Saber que se tardó un día en crear una media de 2,5 segundos de acción cinematográfica puede contribuir a apreciar técnicamente esta película. Se tardaron tres años en hacerla.
It is safe to say you have not seen a film like this before. “EEP!” is based on a book with a familiar premise: An unexpected central character appears whose mere presence inspires the people she meets to reflect on their own lives to find more happiness. The ethereal and acclaimed actress Kenadie Joudin-Bromley takes this movie to another place. By using what some could see as a physical obstacle –primordial dwarfism – this Canadian eight-year-old creates a character you will remember lovingly.
In this imaginative and beautifully shot film, a bird watcher finds a little living creature in the grass under a tree and no adult bird around to claim her. He brings her to his wife, who insists this will be their child to raise. They name her Beedie and we follow her quick growth into bird/human maturity. When Beedie follows her instinct to flock with other birds, the attempts to bring her back bring many people together in wonderful, often comic, ways.
There are no special effects used for this tiny bird child — except her feathered arms. Beedie, played by Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, has primordial dwarfism, suffered by less than 100 people in the world. Born at 2 1/2 lbs and not expected to live more than a few days, she has defied the odds.
Blonde, blue-eyed, white-skinned Azur and black-haired, brown-eyed, dark-skinned Asmar are lovingly raised as brothers by Asmar’s gentle mother, who tells them magical stories of her faraway homeland and of the beautiful, imprisoned Djinn Fairy. The boys are separated by Azur’s brutal father and do not meet again until they are young adults. Grown-up Azur, now a blind beggar, and Asmar, a dashing horseman, are reunited as adversaries on a dangerous quest to find and free the Djinn Fairy.
Exploring her grandmother’s old villa, 10-year-old Stella is suddenly catapulted 100 years into the past on a fantastic time journey. She lands in the same villa and meets Clementine, a girl her own age, whom she recognizes as her great-grandmother. But there is no time for reminiscing: The family faces ruin, the villa is to be sold, and Clementine must relinquish her dream of studying to become a doctor – unless, of course, the children find the Star of the Orient.
En colaboración con el Museo RISD y la Gallery Night Providence, el PCFF 2014 trajo de vuelta a uno de los favoritos del público de 2013 para un comando - ¡y gratuito! - y gratuita. "Le Tableau" se desarrolla en el mundo de un cuadro idílico pero incompleto, abandonado hace tiempo por su pintor. En su ausencia, las figuras del cuadro se han apoderado de la narración para servir a sus propios fines. Tras la proyección, se le invitará a explorar, con la ayuda de educadores del museo, la colección de All-Dones, Sketchies y Halfies del RISD.

"¡Encantador! Este cuento, siempre divertido, ingenioso y bellamente elaborado, es un derroche de color apto para todas las edades. Una fiesta constante para los ojos". - Variety (8/12)
When 12-year-old fledgling detectives Santiago and Mariana witness the kidnapping of endangered Mexican wolf cubs, they spring into action to stop the traffickers and return the cubs to the local nature preserve. Staying one step ahead of the local authorities, our heroes must rely on teamwork, keen powers of observation and a little help from the animal spirits to get the job done!
Bored and all alone in the sky, the Moon Man hitches a ride to Earth on a passing comet. His arrival is mistaken as an attack from outer space by the Earth’s arrogant president. Meanwhile, the world’s children are unable to sleep without seeing the Moon Man in the night sky, leading our protagonist to enlist a sympathetic scientist to help with his return to his rightful place. The quirkiness and slower pace set “Moon Man” apart from the frenetic energy of so many other animated films. With nods to Rube Goldberg, Picasso and Escher, and delightful set pieces that use recordings by Louis Armstrong and Iron Butterfly, the picture unfolds with a sense of discovery that will draw young and old alike into the earthbound adventures of its unlikely lunar hero.
