Eleanor's Secret

Eleanor's Secret (original French title Kérity, la maison des contes) is a 2009 French-Italian animated feature film directed by Dominique Monféry.

Nathaniel panics when he finds that he is unable to read the spell, and the evil witch Carabosse accuses him of not being their guardian; in retaliation, she decides to shrink him down to their size.

Nathaniel and all the characters are taken to the seller's shop, forcing them to have to find a way to return to Aunt Eleanor's house in order to read the spell.

The group encounters many perils in their journey back including other humans and a crab on the beach, but when they arrive, Nathaniel is finally able to prove himself and read the spell aloud.

[5] Jim Batts at We are Movie Geeks praised the film for its unique book-like visual style and for encouraging young audiences to enjoy reading: "This is a sweet, whimsical escapade that should provide inspiration for many evenings (or rainy days) of adventures via the printed page.

"[6] Jay Weissberg gives a mixed review, stating that aspects of the film, particularly the dialogue, are unoriginal, furthermore the "race back to the house, is underwhelming and lacking in originality."
