Animation is one of the most vital genres of the film industry.

Through animation, we are able to understand cultural differences through the handicraft of artists. When we view these drawn stories, we are granted a window into the creativity molded by the artists' surroundings. France, one of the leading countries for the animation industry in Europe, is set to share some of its iconic works at the 28th French Film Festival. Here's a look at the five animated films featured in this year's lineup.
