French animation writer-director Michel Ocelot has made a career of using shadow plays as the basis for his productions, but in the case of Tales of the Night he truly outdoes himself with the magnificent visual elements of this film. Ocelot places the film's three protagonists (voiced by Julien Béramis, Marine Griset and Yves Barsacq) in a dilapidated cinema in Paris; together they brainstorm on a variety of narrative pitches that blend historical tales and traditions from around the world with novel fictional elements in order to develop a series of six short narratives.
