Eleanor’s Secret, or (Kerity, la maison des contes) is a French-Italian 2009 traditionally animated film directed by Dominique Monfery.The movie stars Nat, a young boy who travels with his family to collect the belongings of his family’s recently deceased great aunt. While at her house, he discovers a big secret. Eleanor has kept the original copies of several books. The characters in the books themselves can come to life and tell Nat he is now the book keeper. To keep their essence alive, all Nat must do is read a spell. There’s just one problem. Nat can’t read! Nat must now keep the books safe under his watch and muster up the courage to read.

Absurdly Long Stairway: Downplayed; The stairway from the beach to the house is not that far, but because Nat and his friends are really small, each step looks like a hill.

Giant Enemy Crab: Since Nat is shrunken down, the crab seen on the beach earlier now towers over him. It chases Eleanor, Alice, Ogre, and the White Rabbit across the sand tunnels.

 Eleanor’s Secret / int_687c8839
comment
Mean Character, Nice Actor: Contrary to what his book counterpart would suggest, the Wolf from Little Red Riding Hood is actually a very friendly guy who is close friends with Little Red Riding Hood. This also carries over to Captain Hook, who is much more helpful and not nearly as bad as his book counterpart.

Unexplained Accent: Nat’s father speaks with a slight Irish accent while his wife has an American accent. It seems to carry over to their kids because Angelica has a British accent while Nat has an American one.

comment
"Reading Is Cool" Aesop: While the message on reading isn’t blatantly said out loud, the movie still highlights how important it is for young kids by having Nat muster up the courage to read so he can keep all the book characters alive.

Not Afraid to Die
 Eleanor’s Secret / int_8a2d8868
comment
Not Afraid to Die: The Wicked Fairy (from Sleeping Beauty) shrinks Nat to the size of the book characters when he is unable to read the spell. All the book characters call her out for risking their chances of disappearing forever, but the Wicked Fairy does not mind dying alongside them because at least it will mean she will die with everyone else instead of being left uninvited again.

Magic Feather: Pinocchio gives Nat Geppetto’s glasses and tells him that they are magic glasses that will help him read better. It’s even evident to the audience that Pinocchio is lying when his nose grows once Nat leaves. Once Nat realizes that they do not work, all he has to do is believe in himself.
