I love Madeleine! The art style is so cute. That movie with the sweatshop making lace with their own hair lives in my head rent free. I used to watch it at my grandma’s house all the time as a kid. I’m glad to see someone else appreciate it as much as I did ☺️
I grew up mainly on the original specials and books, reconnecting with the series as an adult. I remain a huge fan of the art, and with Belmelnans's other books. Be it "Sunshine", or his books if illustrated essays.
Same on the specials and first two seasons of it, I don't hold many memories of what came from 2000 onwards (after Lost in Paris) purely because it wasn't shown as much as the earlier ones were.
@@ChloeSunfloraVA There's also the 1998 Tristar Pictures live-action version of 'Madeline' starring Hattie Jones and Frances McDormand (which I don't think is bad, just on the "short and sweet" side of how these types of films fair overall, but feel free to disagree). That one also establishes Madeline as an orphan, and it is integral with the main conflict of the movie being that Madeline's schoolhouse is on the verge of being closed and she has no home to go to.

Wait, weren't Madeline's parents alive in the original books?
Correct! I believe that was a change made for all media except for the books (especially Lost in Paris as the movie can't can't happen if she isn't).
