"Party's over, you microbes!" Viva Kids Films has debuted an official Us trailer for the animated adventure Tall Tales, titled in full Tall Tales from the Magical Garden of Antoon Krings. This movie made in France & Luxembourg is directed by animator Arnaud Bouron & the creator of the book (titled "Drôles de petites bêtes" or "Funny little beasts") Antoon Krings. The story is about Apollo, a cricket saltimbanque with a big heart, who arrives at the "village of small animals". He wastes no time disrupting the simple life of the Kingdom, on the eve of the jubilee of the Queen, and gets wrapped up in a conspiracy. The English voice cast features Justin Long and Kate Mara. The various insect characters in this remind me of A Bug's Life or Antz, it all seems a bit too similar to me. Maybe it's still fun to watch? Especially if you have kids,...

Feature is based on French children’s book Droles De Petites Betes.
China’s Hishow Entertainment has acquired Chinese rights to animated feature Tall Tales, based on French children’s book Droles De Petites Betes.
Hishow also has exclusive merchandising rights to the film, which is produced by Europe’s Pgs and On Animation. The two companies previously produced French animation The Little Prince.
Antoon Krings created more than 200 insect characters for Droles De Petites Betes, which has sold more than 20 million copies around the world since 1994. He is directing the feature version with Arnaud Bouron.
The acquisition of the film forms part of Hishow’s strategy to work on the branding, merchandising and distribution of high-quality animation titles.
Earlier this year, the Beijing-based company distributed Gaumont animation Ballerina. The film secured a release slot over Chinese New Year, which is highly unusual for an imported film.
