Sleeping Betty
20079 min 13 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Claude Cloutier
Production: Michèle BélangerMarcel Jean
Script: Claude Cloutier
Princess Betty sleeps in a narcoleptic stupor. The king appeals to his
subjects to wake her, and several respond: Uncle Henry VIII, Aunt Victoria, an
emotional alien, a cool witch and a handsome prince. This worthy Prince
Charles lookalike has to leave his royal suburb to save the princess, but will
Betty be wakened with just a kiss?
Drawn in India ink, this animation sets the Perrault classic in Claude
Cloutier’s disjointed, anachronistic and playful universe.
