One of The Top Five Animated Features Of The Decade.

By Ranny Levy – Founder/president of Kids First!

This wonderful animated film, by Luc Besson’s film company tells the tale of a young boy born on the coldest day in the history of the world. Little Jack is born with his heart frozen solid. His midwife saves his life by inserting a cuckoo-clock in place of his icy heart. And now Jack will live…as long as he observes three golden rules: 1) He must never touch the hands of the clock. 2) He must master his anger. 3) He must never, ever fall in love. But fall in love he does and hence begins a journey of escape and pursuit. Based on the novel by Mathias Malzieu, this is a fantastical, wildly inventive tale of love and heartbreak. The fabulous animation is stylish and timely. The music by Dionysos is incredible. Willie J., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, comments, “As to the finest aspect of the movie – the score and songs, I would love this to be turned into a Broadway musical.” See his full review below.

Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart

By Willie Jones, age 15

/wordly-wise-book-4-answer-key-download.html. I didn’t think I could love French cinema any more than I do. I’ve watched some of the best of live-action French cinema, but I’ve never seen an animated French feature (produced by Luc Besson produced, no less). Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart kindled an interest in me to watch more French cinema.

The beautiful thing about this movie, other than the way it looks, is its style. Kaplan usmle step 2 videos free download. It is based on a rock concept album by the rock band Dionysus, so it is a musical – a feature animated musical. Simply put, Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart is the best animated feature since Toy Story 3 (not counting The Wind Rises for the sake of our mostly American readers) and it is the best musical since Sweeney Todd and Hairspray.

The movie has a very unique animated look. It is not quite as clay animated as Mary and Max but not as “normal looking,” per se, as Finding Nemo. It comes off as a cross between the two. I’ll admit, I am no expert in the creation of animated films but I do know what works in a film. Another aspect of the film’s look, its art direction, is quite beautiful. It is dark, mysterious and effective in its tone. Speaking of which – the tone is quite dark with an underlying feeling of loss and rejection.

Even the score, in its happiest moments, have a heavy feeling under the surface. Although love does find its way into the story and the objectives of the characters, loss and judgment resurface. The themes are quite adult and not appropriate for young children.

As to the finest aspect of the movie – the score and songs, I would love this to be turned into a Broadway musical. The style of the musical and the editing combined is reminiscent of Moulin Rouge, filled with vivacity and rapid pacing. The songs each carry their own beat and enhance the personalities of each character and its intentions. There is a mixture of ballads, rap, rock and even Latin. I would buy the soundtrack to this movie.

The story itself is about a boy born with a heart so weak that falling in love would be too much for him. The movie follows his early life where he inevitably falls in love (screenwriting 101) and the strength of his heart is put to the test.

I have learned over the years that just because a film is animated, it’s not necessarily designed for children. Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart isn’t exactly The Grave of the Fireflies but it is not for young children either. I recommend this film for ages 13 to 18. And my rating is 5 out of 5 stars. It is a wonderful film. It is one of the top five animated features of this decade.

First off, my love affair with Luc Besson and his films began when I first saw La Femme Nikita in the early 90's and has continued ever since. I still prefer his action films to anything else he does, but when his name is attached to a film (even just as a producer), I typically pay attention. Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart is a very different film than his typical action movie, but it is an interesting film nonetheless.

Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart is an animated film reminiscent of something Tim Burton might have a hand in; that is, the animation is quite dark and fantastical as you can see for yourself in the trailer. The characters have somewhat disproportionately large heads and the world they live in is rather unusual, sporting a steampunk vibe, even though it is 19th Century Edinburgh, Scotland.

The film begins on the coldest day the world has even known. Unfortunately, Jack's mother is near to giving birth to him and as the countryside ices over, she makes her way to the top of a mountain where a midwife/witch named Madeleine (Barbara Scaff) resides. Madeleine is able to deliver the baby, but due to the extreme cold, he is born with a frozen solid heart of ice and she must act quickly if she is going to save the infant's life. A tinkerer at heart, she inserts a small cuckoo clock inside of him and it does the trick, but he must always abide by three important rules: 1) Don't touch the hands of the clock; 2) Don't lose your temper; and 3) Don't ever fall in love. Easier said than done.

The boy's mother slips out in the night and leaves him to Madeleine to raise and for 10 long years, he lives atop the mountain, sheltered from society while his mother tinkers about with her companions, two wacky sisters, Luna and Anna, and Arthur, a man whose spine has been replaced by Madeleine with a zylophone. On Jack's (Orlando Seale) 10th birthday, he insists his mother take him into town and she relents against her better judgment, only to have the boy bump into a lovely young near-sighted singer named Miss Acacia (Samantha Barks), so named because when she gets frightened, her skin becomes covered with acacia thorns. The two are instantly smitten with one another, but Madeleine spirits him back to the mountaintop before any permanent harm can be done. Having had a taste of the town, Jack insists upon going to school, in the hopes of once again meeting up with Miss Acacia, and it is here that his troubles begin. The school bully is a dark-natured, imposing boy named Joe (Harry Sedhegi) who makes it his mission to torment Jack for the next four long years. When a tragic accident occurs, Jack is forced to leave home, so he goes off in search of Miss Acacia, and on the road he meets a magician and would-be film inventor named Méliès (Stephane Cornicard) and together, they head to Andalusia in search of the elusive girl who has stolen Jack's heart. Will he find her and will she remember him? Will the love he so strongly desires be his demise? You'll have to watch Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart yourself to see.

What instantly struck me about Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart was the music done by French band Dionysos. The background music is absolutely fantastic and I love how the sounds of the cuckoo-clock are incorporated within the songs. There are also many songs that the main characters sing and these are a bit different from the background music and make me think of something that would come of a collaboration between David Bowie and Sweeney Todd. It's a bit odd, to say the least. Jack will encounter quite a few peculiarities on his journey from Jack the Ripper himself to a bevy of unusual folk when he finally ends up at a freak show of sorts. Even though this film is rated PG and is an animated movie, I don't recommend it for young children as it does have some suggestive themes that are a bit peculiar and there are some frightening scenes as well. Themes such as death and loss are profusely woven throughout the film and it's just not something for young children, despite how entrancingly beautiful the film is.

Special features include featurettes on most of the major characters from the film, providing some background and insight into them, plus a short making-of that talks about how author/director/actor/musician Mathias Malzieu collaborated with Luc Besson and Virginie Besson-Silla to transform this French story and concept album by Dionysos (of which Malzieu is the lead singer) into a feature film. It is interesting to watch, but everything is in French with English subtitles, so be aware.

Jack And The Cuckoo Clock Heart Soundtrack

I really enjoyed Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart. It's a gorgeous film, whether you watch it on the included DVD or Blu-ray, but seeing it on Blu-ray makes everything visually pop off the screen. The tiny droplets of ice, the frosty sheen on the land, the textures on everything, and even the tears and eyelashes of the main characters are truly enchanting. The film is unique and well acted and introduces the viewer into a strange and unique world filled with love and heartache. If you are looking for something different from the typical animated film, definitely check out Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart.
