Linnea in Monet's Garden (1993) User Reviews (2)

Thought provoking and inspired; you can say a lot with traditional animation

[Moriatus · 8/10 · 28 February 2003]

This movie is only thirty minutes, but it amazingly has a lot of stuff in it. The plot is that Linnea and her elderly friend Mr. Bloom set off on a trip to Paris to look at Monet's preserved house and garden.

The movie provides you with lots of images of Monet's paintings and teaches you a lot about them, like how impressionism works and why he painted like he did.

The film sparkles with humor and warmth, and really lets you see the friendship between the two characters. I saw this movie in a French class, and it showed me how awesome Monet was. The best movie about Monet I have seen, and it is definitely recommended.

Ive only seen it one time... When I was just a little child, but it was my first movie Ive seen on the big screen and I was really excited and I really liked it... I wanna see it over again but I just can´t find it anywhere.

It´s really nostalgia thinking about this movie.

If you can find it anywhere GO SEE IT!
