Ah, the Gobelins school films. Always nice to look at, and fun to see what they come up with each year.

For people wanting to see more, their school page offers links to this year and past years of short films:
http://www.gobelins.fr/galerie/animation/

The past years link are at the bottom of the page.
Of special notes:
2009: The lighthouse keeper
2008: After the rain
2007: Oktapodi
2006: Burning Safari
Pyrats
2005: Le Building
2004: La migration Bigoudenn
2002: Jurannessic

Mind you, these are only my faves. If you have time to spare, it's well worth watching them all.

Is this the same school where Mignons was made?

[rufftoon]

Not quite sure on that one. Even if not done at the school, maybe it's by one of its student after graduation?
(And maybe I'm confusticating it with another film- my brain gets mixed up like that).

Whoops, sorry! My bad. (a) It was called "Moutons" not "Mignons" but I was pretty close! and (b) It's from Supinfocom, the other amazing French animation school. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xibyo_animation-moutons_animals
