WWII, Animated, Family, Coming of Age
I truly truly enjoyed this animated series about WWII from the perspective of children in rural France. It's beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, with many tense moments handled very well since it is intended for a young audience. Though the war is the main thread of the series, coming of age is a stronger theme and narrative (how could it not be!?). Each episode focuses on friendship, loyalty, bravery, and intelligence and shows consequences of decisions and choices.
Netflix didn't let me what it in the original French language (grrr) but I imagine that voice-acting was superior to the English version. Still, a really fun show with important messages.
