The Songbird's Secret (2025) Animation First 2026


This is a sweet little film, perfect for families and non-families about Lucie a young girl who goes on vacation to spend time with her mom who is leading an archeological dig where her family once lived. Having dreams of various events, Lucie begins to investigate her family’s past, as well as making friends with the people working with her mom and the various animals living in the area.

This is the right sort of family film. Not as saccharine or preprocessed as most Hollywood film, this tells us a tactile story about a young girl and her life.

Told with cloth cut out puppets the film looks unlike most films that play here in America, this film instantly creates its own world and own vibe from the first frame. Even if we’ve seen similar films we lean into the story because the world is so unlike anything we are used to seeing. I love the look which is so warm and inviting.

THE SONGBIRD'S SECRET is an absolute delight and highly recommended for anyone wanting to see a good film
