The unlikely cross-species friendship of Celestine the mouse and Ernest the bear teaches a gentle lesson about irrational intolerance in this French animated charmer.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Fresh
"Ernest & Celestine" draws on plenty of classics, animated and otherwise, for inspiration, but the film manages to be delightful on its own offbeat terms.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

Ernest & Celestine is a genuine charmer for kids, and for the parental units tagging alongside.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
A sweet-natured tale of an unlikely friendship between a burly bear and a plucky mouse. It's also decidedly offbeat with an emphasis on animal dentistry.
