Bienvenue

Welcome to Le Palais des dessins animés (The Palace of Animated Drawings), an English-language fan site for the films of Michel Ocelot and other animated fairy tales and fantasies which are unavailable or little-known in the English-speaking world. The Web site is in something of a perpetual beta stage, due to both university work and my short attention span which means that, although it is far from complete, I am encouraging people to view it in order to get some feedback. I apologise for the current inconsistency and would appreciate any information which will assist with the filling in of gaps.

Please also be aware that this Web site may not appear correctly in Internet Explorer (issues with Safari now seem to have been fixed). I would advise using either Camino, Firefox or SeaMonkey. And lastly, please click on the "News" link for related news and updates which you may subscribe to with Atom or RSS.
