comment
The Painting (Le Tableau) is a 2011 French film, directed by Jean-François Laguionie. It incorporates both animation and live action.The film begins in an unfinished painting where there are three classes: the Alldunns, the completed characters; the Halfies, the partially colored-in ones, and the Sketchies, who are little more than, well, sketches. With tensions growing among the groups, Ramo, Lola and Plume travel to beyond the borders of the painting, in search of the mysterious painter, who had abandoned them long ago.

Saving the World With Art: The whole story takes place in a painting full of living painted people. Painting incomplete things and people is what eventually saves their whole society.

Secret Relationship: Ramo and Claire are in love, but since he's a Alldunn and she's a Halfie, they try to meet in secret. They're apparently really bad at it, though, since everyone knows, which is soon Played for Drama.

I Am What I Am: Lola mentions at the beginning of the movie that she does mind not being completely painted in. When someone asks her why she's still not completely painted in, Lola doesn't answer, and the blank spot on her is still there at the end of the movie.

Don't Go in the Woods: The Forest is a wild place where the Sketchies must hide so they aren't caught by the Alldunns. Also, there's a section of the Forest full of supposedly man-eating flowers.

Made of Plasticine: Sketchies seem to be this. Gum is beaten to death by nothing more than some nobles kicking him and Quill risks being blown away just by the wind when the group heads to the edge of the painting. These problems disappear when they're painted in.

And the Adventure Continues: Lola's story ends on this note. Compared to everyone else in the titular painting who find contentment in being completed at last or repainting themselves, she meets the actual painter and converses with him about art. The film ends with her walking off to the great unknown, as she's decided to explore the world to further understand the nature of life.

What Measure Is A Nonhuman: The Sketchies may have a human shape, but because they aren't painted or even completed, the Alldunns hunt them down as though they were animals. They even kick Gum to death on the basis that he sneaked into their party uninvited.

Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Claire has long black hair and a pale face, but only because her face hasn't been painted in (though the rest of her skin is) and she isn't considered beautiful. When Ramo paints her face later, there's considerably more color.
