While exploring the forbidden lands outside the city walls, Robyn befriends a free-spirited girl, Mebh, a member of a mysterious tribe rumored to have the ability to transform into wolves by night.

A CAT IN PARIS (2010)
Academy Award Nominee: Best Animated Feature. From directors Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, A Cat in Paris is a beautifully hand-drawn caper set in the shadow-drenched alleyways of Paris. Dino is a cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little girl whose mother is a detective in the Parisian police force. But at night Dino sneaks out the window to work with Nico – a slinky cat burglar with a big heart, whose fluid movements are poetry in motion as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris skyline. Rife with film references, A Cat in Paris is a warm and richly humorous love letter to classic noir and American gangster films, with a jazz soundtrack featuring Billie Holiday. (d. Jean-Loup Felicioli & Alan Gagnol | 1 hour, 10 minutes | Rated PG for mild violence and action, and some thematic material)

Steve Box & Nick Park | 1 hour, 25 minutes | Rated G )

Acclaimed animation director and writer Brad Bird brings his creative talents to the big screen in this unique tale of two heroes. (d.
