Family Film: Little Amélie

Oscar-nominated for Best Animated Feature, Little Amélie is driven by the joy and wonder of a young girl’s discovery of the world.

Japan, late 1960s: toddler Amélie finds the world a peaceful, perplexing mystery until a rapturous encounter with chocolate (relatable) ignites her wild sense of curiosity about, well, everything. Exploring the wonders of nature, Amélie also grows a bond with her family’s housekeeper Nishio-san, and begins to understand the painful history beneath the surface of her life in post-war Japan.
