The marriage of animation and sound in The Square Symphony is absolutely delightful! With precise "Mickey Mousing" where every visual beat matches the score, this film is an impeccable audio-video exploration. Director Etienne Jaxel-Truer and band leader Anthony Boulc'h lead a talented, vaudevillian-clad ensemble that brings a complex, miniature neighborhood sculpture to life.
By rhythmically layering everyday noises into a "cacophony of happiness," the film invites audiences to find music in the world around them. It is a clever, high-energy testament to human creativity that is simply entertaining in a "big miniature" way.
I give The Square Symphony 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults.

In the Square Symphony, it's a real castastrophony ! But with a well-conducted pastry whisk, a well-pedaled drill and a garbage can in top form, Mademoiselle Ritournelle and Eustache Baguette are destined to make lots of friends.
You too can become a film critic!
