An animated film about Mary Anning, who in 1811 spends her days searching for fossils. When her father suddenly disappears, he leaves behind a mysterious drawing and a struggling family. She discovers more than just fossils: friendships, adventures, and the very start of paleontology. The film was directed by Marcel Barelli and features the voices of Camille d'Hainaut, Alexia Depicker and Johanne Pastor.

Critics

7.5Very good

Critics praise the appealing 2D animation and the director's playful humor in a child-friendly family film. They note his usual sharper, wilder edge is softened and that commercial appeal may be limited.
