The Big Story of Little Nicholas

  1. Overview
  2. Description

As you wander through… Discover the most famous French schoolboy’s secrets on the walls of Annecy Station!

To coincide with the film release in theatres on 12th October 2022 of Little Nicholas – Happy as Can Be, the exhibition "The Big Story of Little Nicholas" takes us backstage to the production of the first animated film adapted from the cult adventures of Little Nicholas, and reveals the secrets behind the creation of the most famous French schoolboy, created by two genius comedians, René Goscinny and Jean-Jacques Sempé.

For the second year, SNCF Gares & Connexions and the Annecy International Animation Festival are collaborating to display the behind-the-scenes of an animation film to travellers and visitors passing through Annecy Station. Tailor-made by the SNCF Gares & Connexions and Festival teams, this exhibition will show little-known aspects of this inventive film genre in the station’s public space.

Little Nicholas – Happy as Can Be is in the Official Competition at the Annecy Festival 2022!  

Just before stepping out onto the streets of Annecy, remember to slow down for a moment and delight in the exhibition "The Big Story of Little Nicholas". You will come across a mischievous and giggly little boy who just can’t wait to tell you all the animation film secrets!
