Celestine is a mouse living in a dormitory and dreaming of becoming a painter. One day, Celestine steps out from the underground world of mice and meets a street musician called Ernest, living in the world of bears on the ground. After beginning her training to become a dentist?the most admired job in the mouse world?Celestine must collect 50 bear teeth. Based on the original story of the same title created by renowned Belgian children’s author Gabrielle Vincent, the animated <Ernest & Celestine> draws the friendship between a mouse and a bear with rich, evocative watercolors. What is notable in the film is the relationship between the mouse and the bear and the focus on teeth; the scene in the dental clinic is unimaginably creative. The main characters, that make efforts to realize their dreams, will inspire not only children but also adults with their ability to overcome mutual enmity. (RHEE, Soue-won)
