17 - Tales of the Night (2011)

Directed by Michael Ocelot, this French computer animated film consists of six fairy tales told in shadow puppet style against brightly colored backgrounds and six different historical presentations. Some are variations of stories you might recognize. The first, The Werewolf, seems inspired by one told by Marie de France from the 12th century, although the plot details change. Glorious to look at, the variety of tales and unique presentations keeps one's attention for 84 minutes.
