Hello Paris

About This Movie

So, 'Hello Paris' is this charming little animation from '53 that takes you on a whimsical journey through Paris, seen through the eyes of two love-struck pigeons. The art style, while simple, has a certain vintage charm that reflects the era, almost like a time capsule. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of iconic landmarks, especially Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Those chimeras and gargoyles add a playful tension as they meddle in the pigeons' romance. It's like a love letter to Paris, with themes of friendship and adventure woven throughout. You can’t help but smile at the delightful interaction between our feathered protagonists and their anthropomorphic Eiffel friend, M. La Tour.

Originally released in 1953, 'Hello Paris' has seen limited availability on home video, making it somewhat of a rarity among animation collectors. The film's unique blend of Parisian landmarks and charming characters captures a bygone era, appealing to those who appreciate classic animation. While it's not widely distributed, interest has been growing among collectors due to its nostalgic storytelling and artistic style, leading to increased demand for physical formats when they surface.
