Where to watch: Amazon, AppleTV
My Rating: 7/10
I saw this in theaters. The animation was gorgeous but the pacing was kinda bonkers. They cram a lot into the ninety minutes. I laughed, I teared up.

“Ugo Bienvenu (2025) A beautiful coming of age + time travel tale. The animation is sumptuous and there’s a robot character who’ll steal your heart (and possibly crush it!). Essential to watch in original French - the subplot involving the trio of brothers and their bumbling exploits is an utter delight. J'ai adoré.”

“Our family recently enjoyed two Oscar-nominated animated films: Little Amalie or the Character of Rain and Arco. totally different, both beautiful, both loved by two adults, and a 9 and 10 yo.”

“Top-shelf french animation that splits the difference between ghibli and moebius. For a movie that clocks in under 90 minutes, its world-building packs quite a punch. Somebody tell me where i can buy dougie/stewie/frankie's 🌈 glasses.”
