Stars: Sonja Ball, Josh Widdicombe, Rob Beckett, Mark Camacho, Giovanna Fletcher | Written by David Alaux, Eric Tosti, Jean-François Tosti | Directed by David Alaux
In the peaceful Greek city of Yolcos, Pattie (Sonja Ball) is a mouse who dreams of becoming a hero like Jason (of And The Argonauts fame). Her opportunity comes when a statue is unveiled of Zeus (Josh Widdicombe), leaving Poseidon (Rob Beckett) in a jealous rage. He gives the citizens of Yolcos seven days to build a statue in his honour that is as beautiful as Zeus’ statue, or their home will be destroyed.
While she is inspired by the fantastical tales she read, Pattie is disheartened at how nobody believes in her dreams of heroism. This includes Sam (Mark Camacho), her adopted father that is a vegetarian cat who resorts to backstabbing duplicity to prevent Pattie from leaving. Intent on proving her naysayers wrong, the mouse...

Founded in 1966, Cgr Cinemas has since grown into France’s second-largest exhibition chain, boasting more than 700 screens across the country and a premium export branch in the guise of Ice Theaters. Since the beginning, the business has both remained in the hands of the Raymond family and stayed anchored in the southwest town of La Rochelle.
After putting the company up for sale in 2022, its owners Jean-Luc and Charles Raymond decided to hold on to it when the B.O. showed clear signs of post-pandemic recovery this past May. Along with abruptly canceling a sales deal, the owners also laid off its leadership, including its managing director Jocelyn Bouyssy, who had been at the company for 37 years and launched the Ice premium format, among other successful diversification initiatives. Bouyssy has been replaced by Laurent Desmoulins as directing manager. Both Desmoulins and Charles Raymond will be on-hand at this year’s CineEurope,...

Like its squad of pint-sized, crime-fighting underdogs, The Jungle Bunch (Les As de la Jungle) is, in its own way, a sort of cartoon David taking on the Goliaths of Hollywood animation. Based on the hit French kids series (airing on Sprout in the U.S.), the $8 million feature was made for a fraction of your typical Pixar or DreamWorks production, yet manages to rival the big leagues in terms of PG-rated mayhem.
In terms of originality, though, this second theatrical effort — after the 2011 featurette The Jungle Bunch: The Movie — from creators David Alaux, Jean-Francois Tosti and...
