The Old Lady and the Pigeons

The Old Lady and the Pigeons French La vieille dame et les pigeons is a 1997 animated short film written and directed by Sylvain Chomet. It tells the slightly surreal story of a starving policeman who dresses up as a pigeon and tricks an old lady into feeding him. The film was produced through the French company Les Armateurs with support from companies in Canada, Belgium and the United Kingdom. It was Chomets debut film and won several awards including the Grand Prix at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

Eventually, the policeman discovers the old ladys other pet the woman who swept the floor, dressed as a cat. When the old lady spots the police man, she begins to pursue him with a large pair of shears. He tries to remove his fake pigeon head, to reveal himself as human, but it has become stuck around his neck. As the old lady is cornering him, the policeman falls out the window and onto the street, among a small group of pigeons. In the final scene the policeman, skinny once more and without his pigeon suit, is seen behaving like a pigeon in front of the Eiffel Tower.In Tatiesque fashion, the bulk of the film is without any dialogue at all. And what there is in English supplied by overweight American tourists in the opening and closing scenes. ........
