INTERVIEW

Invited Sunday to return to the films of his life in the show of Laurie Cholewa

CLAP

, actor Clovis Cornillac tells how a Disney cartoon released in 1970 gave birth to his love for animated films.

"My first great emotion in the cinema, it is inevitably when I was a kid and it is inevitably a cartoon: it was

“When I was a kid, I really projected myself into the character of Thomas O'Malley. I was O'Malley,” he recalls.

"I thought the same as this guy: I was an alley cat, with Duchess it was not possible, there was also this camaraderie with his friends."

"

The Artistocats

 and 

101 Dalmatians 

are powerful films"

It must be said that the condition of this happy and wandering cat, the bohemian spirit and in love with jazz, found an echo in the personal life of the young Clovis Cornillac.

"I was in working-class neighborhoods and it was my way of projecting life. It's a very strong memory because this film spoke to me," he says.

The actor, who has since watched many Disney with his children, has not found this emotion in all the films of the American animation giant.

"In Disney, we also find from time to time a side that is a little politically borderline. Surely more today. But what I liked about some Disney, like

The Artistocats

or

The 101 Dalmatians

, is that it was powerful films. There are strong things happening, "he analyzes.
