So, this 2010 animated feature, "Once Upon a Time There Was Oil," takes you on a unique ride through the eyes of two curious kids. They accidentally knock over a can of oil, and voilà, Goutix pops out—this quirky mascot that represents Méroll's line of products. The animation is charming, not overly polished, which gives it a kind of handmade feel that suits the story. They venture to the Méroll factory, and it’s all about exploration, blending education with a sense of wonder. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere rather than rush through the narrative. It’s a bit didactic but in a way that feels playful and engaging. Definitely a curious addition to any animation collection.
