Courgette (Zucchini) is an intriguing nickname for a 9-year-old boy. Although his unique story is surprisingly universal. After his mother's disappearance, Courgette is befriended by a police officer Raymond, who accompanies him to his new foster home filled with other orphans his age. At first he struggles to find his place in this strange, at times, hostile environment. Yet with Raymond's help and his new-found friends, Courgette eventually learns to trust and might find true love.

Grandiosa película muy emotiva
La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. La película es muy buena, fuerte en los temas que maneja pero hecha de una forma increíble, vale mucho la pena verla. Solo viene con subtítulos en inglés.

Great
I loved this movie a few years ago and they took it off of Netflix, so I decided to add it to my dvd collection.

Una película hermosa
La película es genial. La edición en BR viene con una alta definición y sonido estupendos. Varios extras ("making of") muy interesantes, y que completan la experiencia deseable para cualquier adepto al cine de animación (o, incluso, cine en general). Muy recomendable.

Recomendable!
Sin comentarios, es muy buena. (Tener en cuenta que no tiene idioma ni subtítulos en español), llego rápido y bonita su presentación.

English Audio Dub Is Badly Inferior: get the Blu-ray and watch it in French (with subtitles)
Beautiful Blu-ray. Maybe my favorite stop-motion, visually.I don't share the opinion that the English dub completely ruins the film, but it isn't nearly the same experience. I saw it in English first and loved it. However, the French makes it much better. The English voice cast is plenty talented, but sadly they don't fully use their talents here; I wonder if it was a rush job.In French, the emotions and nuances feel very different. Much more subtle, melancholy, and gentle. If you stream it from Amazon, you will only get the English. It's worth buying the Blu-ray for the improvement in the stunning picture quality (unless your Internet speed is top notch, the streaming won't come near the beauty of the disc), but mainly to have access to the superior French audio.I work in a long term care facility for children, and this film gets a lot of things right. The back stories of these children and the bonds they form with the few adults who truly care for them and with the other children are well represented. The film may lean to the happier endings of these kinds of cases, but such endings do occur (I know of a child who was as fortunate as one of the characters in this film in where she ended up). A beautiful film.Also, the Making-Of special feature is one of the best. I was thoroughly fascinated with the process and with the sensitivity of the filmmakers to both their subject and their craft. This feature is subtitled in English.
