La Vieille Dame et les Pigeons (The Old Lady and the Pigeons)

Sylvain Chomet · France · Dark Comedy / Comedy / Animation · 22 min · 385K views

A starving Paris policeman, envious of the well-fed pigeons, disguises himself as a giant pigeon to tap into the generosity of a sweet old lady who feeds the birds.

Before The Triplets of Belleville, Sylvain Chomet made this deliciously grotesque, Oscar-nominated fable about a hungry cop in a pigeon suit.

Classic French animation from director Sylvain Chomet in which a starving policeman masquerades as a pigeon to trick an old lady into feeding him.
