I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale. Plus, just hearing her say the names of animals makes me smile (cheesy, but true, straight-up warm-fuzzies).
Naturally, I looked into it--Capucine's video popularity--and it's a bit unnerving, to most onlookers, myself included, there's a shadow of child exploitation, not unlike any other manifestation of child stardom (see Bruno). It just feels a little, aht, I don't know. Wrong? But maybe not. The thing is... they're now trying to raise money for Edurelief for children in Mongolia, so that counts for something. If you can put my debbie-downer-child-exploitation-thoughts behind you, then go ahead and watch the video below. It's following Capucine around Paris and captures some of that magical wonder of being a child, seeing things new. I want to say it seems very French, but I think what I would mean by that is it's reminiscent of the spirit of Amelie.
