Director: David Alaux
A scrappy mouse trades his quiet life for a sandaled quest across Ancient Greece in Epic Tails, a 2023 French animated adventure built around myth, mischief, and an angry sea god.
What is Epic Tails about?
Somewhere between the marble columns and olive groves of a mythologized Greece, an unassuming mouse decides ordinary life is not enough. Pulled into a chain of encounters with towering, dangerous creatures drawn straight from legend, he finds himself on a collision course with Poseidon, whose temper threatens far more than one small rodent. What starts as a personal dare turns into a journey that tests loyalty, courage, and the mouse's own sense of scale in a world built for gods and giants. Along the way, an eclectic cast of allies and obstacles reshapes his understanding of heroism, showing that size has little to do with the size of the danger one is willing to face. The film moves briskly between comic set pieces and moments of genuine peril, keeping its mythological backdrop colorful without losing the thread of a small hero finding his footing among legends far larger than himself.
Cast & crew
The French-language original brings together Kaycie Chase, Christophe Lemoine, Emmanuel Curtil, Michel Tureau, veteran actor Pierre Richard, Frantz Confiac, Jérôme Pauwels, and Barbara Tissier, under the direction of David Alaux.
Context & significance
Epic Tails comes from the same French animation studio tradition that has built a reputation for globe-trotting, myth-inflected family adventures with broad international appeal. Its Ancient Greek setting gives the studio room to play with classical monsters and deities while keeping the tone light enough for younger viewers alongside the adults watching with them.
