In Ocelot's celebrated storytelling, history blends with fairytale as viewers are whisked off to visit enchanted lands full of dragons, shape-shifting werewolves, captive princesses, and enormous talking bees and each fable ends with its own ironic twist. Review: Brilliant - Michel Ocelot has done it again. Following the pattern of 2000's Princes And Princesses , he delivers a stunning half-dozen short animations. Each one capture some myth or folk tale (or maybe a new story in the classic style), and plays it out against a background set in Tibet, African Aztec Mexico, or some other corner of the world. Although meant for children, there's enough adventure and depth to hold an adult viewer easily. On top of wonderful stories, Ocelot presents animation in a wonderful and distinctive style. In an open tribute to the first feature-length animation , Ocelot updates Lotte Reiniger's shadow-puppet style of animation - black silhouettes against gloriously colored but generally static backgrounds. But, rather than pure shadow figures, he adorns them with spot colors for eyes, jewels, or other significant features. It adds beautifully to the tradition that was already millenia old when Reiniger adapted it to a new medium in the 1920s. Good story-telling and brilliant artwork, with a real sense of culture and history. This collection truly stands out. -- wiredwerid Review: Fascinating! - Certainly eye-catching! It is a French film, yet cosmopolitan in the selection of stories told. The format was used by Michel Ocelot previously in his French TV series "Cine Si" (Cinema If), that was broadcast in 1989. Most of those stories have been released on DVD under the title of "Princes and Princesses." The difference between the two sets is how the animation was done. "Princes and Princesses" looks like it was done using traditional 2D cell animation. "Tales of the Night" looks like it was done using computer generated animation. All the stories have some plot twists, that will keep you guessing what happens next. The silhouetted characters do remind me of certain other animated characters (reportedly from Mars). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009NP1ZVG | | Actors | Arlette Mirapeu, Michael Elias, Michel Ocelot, Monique Messine, Patrice Leroy | | Best Sellers Rank | #188,174 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #3,926 in Anime (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (137) | | Director | Michel Ocelot | | Dubbed: | French | | Item model number | 26199804 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Christophe Rossignon, Philip Boeffard | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 5.5 x 7.5 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Release date | January 29, 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 24 minutes | | Studio | New Video Group | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Anime & Manga - **Language:** French - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 24 minutes ## Images ![Tales of the Night - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O+rk7655L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by W***D on March 25, 2013* Michel Ocelot has done it again.

Oh my! *by L***S on March 30, 2013* A gorgeous piece remenicent of old-way fairytale telling. I despise the dub (who the hell voiced the young guy!! horribly annoying!) but the original French is a delight. Visually stunning, and the stories were beautiful. Loved it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9177196-tales-of-the-night](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9177196-tales-of-the-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
