10 years ago, hand-drawn film\xa0Ernest & Celestine, about the unlikely pairing of a bear and a mouse, charmed moviegoers and Academy members. It earned a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination alongside Hayao Miyazaki's final film at the time,\xa0The Wind Rises,\xa0and CG blockbusters\xa0Frozen,\xa0The Croods\xa0and\xa0Despicable Me 2. This Friday September 1st, GKIDS will release a sequel feature in theaters, with the title characters on their biggest and most meaningful journey yet. Here's my conversation with the directors of\xa0Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia, Jean-Christophe Roger and Julien Chheng.
