‘Little Nicholas’ Makes Rendezvous with U.S. Audiences Dec. 16

Award-winning French animated feature Little Nicholas: Happy as Can Be — based on the beloved comics and children’s books introduced by Jean-Jacques Sempé and René Goscinny in the 1950s — is ready to enchant U.S. audiences this week. Through a key distribution deal just secured this week, Buffalo 8 (a Bondit Company) is bringing the charming hand-drawn family adventure to theaters across the country starting Friday, December 16.

Synopsis: Somewhere between Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Jean-Jacques Sempé and René Goscinny lean over a large white sheet of paper and bring to life a mischievous and endearing boy, Little Nicholas. From schoolyard games and fights to summer camp prank and camaraderie, Nicholas lives a merry and enriching childhood. As the adventures of Nicholas and his friends unfold, the boy makes his way into his creators’ workshop and light-heartedly questions them. Sempé and Goscinny will recount the story of their friendship, career, and reveal a childhood filled with hopes and dreams.
