Ernest and Celestine are travelling back to Ernest's country, Gibberitia, to fix his broken violin. This exotic land is home to the best musicians on earth and music constantly fills the air with joy. However, upon arriving, our two heroes discover that all forms of music have been banned for many years - and for them, a life without music is unthinkable. Along with their friends and a mysterious masked outlaw, Ernest and Celestine must try their best to bring music and happiness back to the land of bears.

Muyi, 14, lives on a Chinese secluded mountain, forbidden to men. With her two friends, she encounters an opera troupe renowned for The Handsome General play. As she invites them to perform in her village, an angry Spirit awakens. To restore balance, Muyi embarks on a life-changing journey through old China, uncovering the secrets of love, courage and self-made destiny.

An ambitious king seeks the help of a beaver to build him a castle.

Ernest is a big bear from Charabie. He likes playing music and eating marmalade. He lives with Celestine, a little orphan mouse, and they share his house. Our two friends never get bored! When the first snowflakes start to fall they need to prepare for Ernest’s hibernation: they must take care of Bibi, their wild goose, who will fly away before the big winter, prepare cakes for Ernest and go to the mice’s ball to celebrate the first day of winter.

Film produced as an opening short for the 2009 Annecy International Animation Film Festival (FIFA).
