'Meet Meline' by Virginie Goyons and Sebastien Laban (2009)
“Meline is a little girl who spends most of her time in her grand-parents barn, drawing. One day, a scared furry little creature gets lost in the barn. All excited about this mysterious creature, Meline will now try as hard as she can to approach it and discover it.”
Because of Meline's age, her personality is naturally very curious, and also easily pleased and easily scared. She is clumsy, but innocent, which is shown through her disregard of knocking things over, and interested in the things around her. She sniffs the air as she begins to look around for the mysterious creature. There is no hesitation of following it, only pure curiosity. She gasps loudly, her whole body freezing, at a slightest little noise. Yet when it comes to facing a dark section of the barn, she relies on a half-working torch before she will consider slowly advancing. She looks around herself, head darting here and there, and makes small whimpers. Easily you can notice the change of her mood. The contrast between childish curiosity and terrified uncertainty. Really like the motion of her furiously trying to get the torch to turn itself back on and her facial animation as she first sees the creature close up. The morphing of her emotions is beautiful. She looks almost disappinted, confused as to what she is seeing, and this changes to shocked and pleased as she notices the creature's babies. The childish innocence is really well captured, as well as stunningly represented in 3D.
