Synopsis: 10-year-old Angelo dreams of being an adventurer and explorer. Until one day, when he and his family set off in the car to visit his beloved and ailing Grandma, he is suddenly challenged to prove his courage: forgotten by mistake at a freeway service area, Angelo decides to cut through the forest to get to Grandma’s house. He then plunges into a mysterious territory populated by strange beings threatened by an enemy even worse than the local ogre…
Based on the graphic novel DANS LA FORÊT SOMBRE ET MYSTÉRIEUSE by Winshluss.
Angelo in the Mysterious Forest is aimed above all at families, and at children aged 6 and over. The animation, with its distinctly comic-book-inspired aesthetic, will appeal to fans of fantasy and initiation stories. The film may remind some of the inner journey of The Boy and the Beast or the strange worlds of My Neighbor Totoro. For those who have enjoyed films such as Song of the Sea or Wolf Children, Ame et Yuki, this poetic and mysterious adventure could be a captivating new experience. The original aspect lies in the encounter between the everyday and the supernatural, where childhood fears take on a concrete form in the heart of the wilderness.
With Angelo dans la forêt mystérieuse, Vincent Paronnaud and Alexis Ducord offer us an enchanting adventure, rich in emotion and suspense. Adapted from the comic strip Dans la forêt sombre et mystérieuse, this film promises to take young and old into a world both magical and dangerous.
