Jack and the mechanics of the heart (Disney+)

Jack is born the coldest day in the world, and his heart has been frozen. He is saved by Doctor Madeleine, who replaced his defective thrilling with a mechanical clock. But if he wants to survive, he must respect three rules: do not touch his needles, master his anger … and never fall in love. But her meeting with Miss Acacia, a little street singer, will upset the rhythm of her needles.

This adapted animated feature film of Mathias Malzieu’s eponymous book unrolls her life and love story like no other, on the music of the Rock Dyonisos group, of which Malzieu is precisely the singer. Far from conventional animated films, Jack and the mechanics of the heart offers a Gothic, neat and original aesthetic, close to that of Henry Selick (Jack and giant fishing, Coraline)). Even if it appears technically dated, the film compensates for its lack of means by some charming ideas, which will above all please the great romantics.
