Deux Escargots S’ent Vont (Two Snails Set Off)

This animated tale is a poem, a classic children's poem by Jacques Prévert, about a pair of snails going to a funeral. In this animated version by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Romain Segaud, we never see the snails, but we see a variety of woodland creatures who tell the tale, in French with English subtitles. You'll need to watch it twice, once for the story, and again for the amazing stop-motion animation of the expressive animals telling the story. (via Laughing Squid)
