The Old Lady and the Pigeons






La Vieile Dame et les Pigeons (The Old Lady and the Pigeons), released early in 1997, has spent the past year collecting awards at animation and film festivals around the world, including the grand prize at Annecy, The World Animation Celebration, and the prestigious Cartoon D'Or Best European Animated Film Award. The 23-minute, cel-animated film tells the story of a hungry French police man who spots an old woman in the park, feeding rich pastries to a thankful flock of overweight pigeons. Disguising himself as a giant pigeon, the man visits and is generously fed by the old woman, only to discover her true intentions are more foul than fowl.
