France in the 1960s, Jean Dejoux, a self-taught inventor, came to the ORTF's Research Centre with a crazy idea: to build a machine to make cartoons. From the Shadocks to Asterix, from Chuck Jones to Norman McLaren, from Paris to Hollywood stopping off in Italy, here are the little-known and exciting adventures of a visionary and his peculiar machine.
