Amelie, Jr.
Super cute French kid ad-libbing a fantastic story with crocodiles, monkeys, and Winnie the Pooh. I hope she got license clearance for those copyrighted characters. More about the video here at videogum. (thanks, John Walsh!)

Anyone know the proper contacts for adopting french children?
"...et des pouvoirs magiques!" That was wonderful.
I favor the gas permeable, extended wear, but that is a matter of personal preference.
I'm with you, very much, on the sentiment, though.
I smell...SCREENPLAY!!! would totally pay to see the film version of that story. We gonna hook that kid up with Michel Gondry.
That is indeed a wonderful thing. Thanks Boing Boing!
That video just made my day a little bit better.
YAY imagination!
she's a cutie
That reminds me of another kid imagination video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40-YqhHy0TI
equally awesome
mangez les bébés....wheee! Best line EVAR!
Thing is, all the children are beautiful in France.
...Downfalled on YouTube in 10...9...8...
hypo allergic! LOL
Amelie is one of the greatest movies ever.
someone should totally animate this.
She's so clever, what with knowing a foreign language that age and all.
oh, that just reminded me to check my biological clock. yep, still ticking..
#16 I know exactly what you mean...such a little show off!! She's all "lookit me!! I am only 5 and I speak ze French!!"
Wow. Smart kid and her parents must read to her a lot. She uses the "passe simple" a lot, a past tense only used in writing.
And your lesson in French is done for the day. ;-)
so imaginative and unrestricted! very entertaining story
@Mojave: actually, if you go on Vimeo, there's a video of her saying the few words she knows in English, it's real cute too: http://vimeo.com/1876895
wow, that was nearly beyond my threshold of cute for the day. awesome story
"It's like they have a different word for everything!" - S. Martin
Reminds me of another line in one of those Matrix 2 movies::
When you curse in french it's like wiping your rear with silk (not the exact quote mind you).

Never mind that: she's all over the subjunctive tense too.
Yeah, great, super cute and all...but what happened to the monkeys?!? Did they find their way home?
must find part II
avec Frenchness!
i'm sure she said that the lion said that it was time to EAT the hippo, not for him to be dead in heaven.
After watching this Angel and HeroHa, it makes me wonder why American kiddos are so lame...
wow she's mindblowing.
I want her around next time I eat mushrooms
Good lord, that child should be locked up before her cuteness reaches some kind of critical mass and destroys the planet.
Wow. As a native speaker of French, I can certify that this girl is positively cute as heck. Wow, I'm ready to have kids!
American kiddos are not lame!
I shall keep her in a sphere of adamantine crystal, illuminated from within to dispel the Stygian chill of the deeps, an ornament to grace my lonely vigil at the Bottommost Gates.
WONDERFUL story. And OMG, those eyelashes are killing me!!
Also, she [according to her mom] accidentally does the dramatic chipmunk here: http://www.vimeo.com/289759
I like the story title "Amelie, Jr.", it could really be her. Connected souls in some way.
and the hippo was alergic to magic! lol soooo cutesy cuddly!
aaaaaaahh dammit that little kid speaks better french than me!!!!!!! D:
@ Anonymous #38: Well, that little kid is a native French speaker. ;-)
Super cutesy cute. And a lovely terrifying story. Watch out, Stephen King, the next generation of storytellers arrives...
This is my favorite: Capuchin in Disco Fever!
