Anatole lives in a conventional nuclear family, married to the beautiful and supportive Doucette and with six lovely children.
Previously, in 1966, there was an animated segment based on the books for the cult film Alice of Wonderland in Paris.
First Stage Children's Theater premiered the show in February 2014, and it was met with great commercial and critical success.
