Apart from the Incredibles, the Batman, the Moana and other models to follow. Make way for the ugly and clumsy, the alcoholic detectives, the space raiders. Here are five suggestions to put an end to prince charmings and “badass” heroines, and for which you probably won’t have to buy a costume for your little one’s next birthday party.
“Despicable Me”: the antihero in essence
Impossible not to start with the villain of all villains, the awful jojo who hides a big heart, I named Gru, hero of the hilarious saga Despicable Me, produced by Illumination studios. The older ones among us have undoubtedly stopped at the first opus, but don’t hesitate to take your offspring as an excuse (from 6 years old) to follow the three volumes of the franchise – currently available on MyCanal. We see the repentant villain, who has become the adoptive father of three skunks as cute as they are naughty, thwarting a whole bunch of Machiavellian plans on the part of enemies who have remained evil, with the always somewhat problematic help of his associates, the Minions. For fans, you can continue with the feature films dedicated to them, but that might be a bit much.
Animated film directed by Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin (France/United States, 2010, 95 min). On demand on MyCanal.
“Wreck-It Ralph”: portrait of a melancholy thief
We have somewhat forgotten it, but this Disney film is one of the studio’s finest successes in the 2010s. It will undoubtedly be necessary to convince the youngest (from 6-7 years old), who have no never heard of it, you will obviously have to explain to them what an arcade game is if they only know the Switch, but we promise you that it’s worth it. Ralph is a vintage video game villain who is tired of breaking bricks. While entertainment, called Fix-it Felix, celebrates his thirtieth birthday, Ralph intrudes himself among the good guys, in the hope of finally being accepted and leading a slightly more collective existence. Obviously, the business will turn out to be more complicated than expected. This quest for respectability is filmed with delicious fantasy, and sprinkled with sharp transgenerational humor – no risk of boredom after 15 years. On the other hand, the risks of falling back into Pac-Man thereafter are real.
Animated film directed by Rich Moore (United States, 2012, 108 min). On demand on Disney+.
