Tales of the Night (French: French: Les Contes de la nuit) is a 1992[4] French silhouette animation television special written and directed by Michel Ocelot. It aired on Canal+ in France, ZDF in Germany and Channel 4 in the United Kingdom.[5] It is a trilogy of three further fairy tales in much the same format as Ciné si.

Plot

A boy, a girl and an old technician get together in an abandoned cinema to invent stories, the boy and the girl play after then made costumes. The three stories are "French: La Belle Fille et le sorcier" ("The Pretty Girl and the Sorcerer"), "French: Bergère qui danse" ("The Dancing Shepherdess") and "French: Le Prince des joyaux" ("The Prince of Jewels"). Unlike La Princesse insensible and Ciné si, Tales of the Night is on 35mm film.[6]

Release

"Le Prince des joyaux" was also shown in French cinemas in 1994[7] (and later released on VHS)[8] as part of the Folimage-organised package film Le Petit Cirque et autres contes.[9] All three individual segments (though still lacking the original opening, ending and bridging segments) were made available on DVD-Video with the release of Les Trésors cachés de Michel Ocelot in 2008.
