Finally, director Sylvain Chomet is coming out with a new feature length animation. It's been seven years since The Triplets of Belleville and it's about time for a new one. In the mean time, Chomet was involved in the collaborative film, Paris , je t'aime and directed my favorite short film in the collection, Tour Eiffel. His new animation L'illusionniste has already released in Europe but isn't scheduled for release in the States until Christmas Day, which seems odd as Chomet's last feature film was gritty and gloomy, not too much holiday cheer there. While I'm not the greatest fan of his incredibly dark stories (though Tour Eiffel was surprisingly warm and delightful), the odd characters and splendid style and quality of animation look to be as good as last time.
The trailer is included in the link to the film's website, but it's all in French, so here's the English version:
