L'Extraordinaire voyage de Marona

A bold and adventurous canine finds herself navigating capricious industry, as she moves amongst the humans, in L'Extraordinaire voyage de Marona.

Somewhat hardboiled for a children's fantasy, it still animates resilient life, as it critiques yet rests resigned, to dependence on constant flux.

Marona's (Lizzie Brocheré) tough, undaunted, full of observant pluck and tenacity, well aware of materialistic necessity, yet still abounding with versatile spirit.

She was born in a litter of 9, full of multifaceted depth of character, but alas they could not stay together, as quotidian confines swiftly closed in.

Her first owner was a lively acrobat seeking to make his own way on the stage, hardworking, dynamic, and flexible, determined to intensely make the grade.

She then moves on to the world of construction to embrace kind-hearted tectonic l'amour, but a new partner just doesn't like dogs, and she's let go cold insecure.

She finally finds a steady family after a youth discovers her alone in a park, and decides to adopt the role of caretaker, mom and grandpa's tolls permitting.

But as the years pass the youth grows older and has less time for lighthearted play.

Marona still follows her around bustling Paris.

Vehicular immobility notwithstanding.

Canine perspectives wisely evolve as the film reflects on eclectic pet ownership, things would have been simpler with a common language, and stronger desires to enliven understanding.

For longer periods of time.

Can dogs smell emotion?

Animals often seem to know what's up. Perhaps not the intricate details of abstract thought, but they seem well-attuned to food shelter and play.

Should you remember to care for your pets as you age?

I would argue, "most definitely".

They depend so much on your overflowing love, and something's lost if there's no time for essentials.

There's no doubt that Marona's full of love even if her candour's somewhat forlorn.

Owning pets is a wonderful thing and it's important to commit to their continuous care.

L'Extraordinaire voyage de Marona bizarrely blends innocence with consistent distress, to present an appealing realistic collage of witty variable situations and characters.

Writers Damian do a wonderful job theorizing life from a dog's point of view, working in generalities that are perhaps nondescript if they relate to nothing too wild in particular.

If you want a pet I recommend sticking with it, never letting them go in a park.

It must be so worth it to have them around.

Faithful companions.

Inveterate mischief.
