Princes and Princesses (2000) on Netflix

Plot summary

In a studio, an art teacher and the two children with him work at a shadow puppet show, taking their material from fables of different historical periods. Together they arrive at six tales, each turning on a prince or a princess: The princess of Diamonds, the Boy and the Fig Tree, The witch, The Old Lady's Cape, The Crunch Queen and the Fabulo, and Prince and Princess. Every one carries a moral, though the stories are not as traditional as might be expected. The tales are made in cutout animation, with black silhouetted characters acting in front of backlit backdrops in strong colors, and they began as episodes of a French silhouette animation series for television before being gathered into one theatrical program.
