PR The Illusionist on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack May 10

...rich and touching animated feature about the father-daughter relationship between an aging magician whose art is slowly becoming obsolete and a young orphan girl just at the start of life's journey. The script, originally penned by the late Jaques Tati (Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle) as a love letter to his daughter, serendipitously found its way into the hands of Chomet by way of his sole surviving daughter Sophie Tatischeff who thought his hand-drawn animation style would perfectly suit the film.
