Synopsis

Tistou is destined for a bright future. His father runs an arms factory that has been the pride and joy of the entire town for generations, and no one doubts that Tistou will take over the business. The only problem is that Tistou is slow to mature. He has far too much imagination, an alarming naiveté. When his parents finally send him to school, it’s an immediate disaster. But with the help of the old gardener Moustache, Tistou finally discovers an astonishing gift: he has green thumbs.

Wherever he places his thumbs, flowers and plants begin to grow, obeying what his imagination dictates. Overnight, the city prison is obliterated by nature, causing beauty but also complete chaos and backlash from a brigade of “botanists” with particularly heavy-handed methods, who have sworn to solve the problem. But while the plants are generating increasingly widespread enthusiasm, dark events are beginning to overshadow the news. And Tistou discovers, that his father’s factory is somehow involved. Convinced that his power can save the day, he naturally decides to intervene. What he doesn’t realize is that he’ll now have to contend with more than just the police brigade.

An animated adaptation of Maurice Druon’s classic French children’s novel Tistou les Pouces Verts translated into more than 27 languages and published in over 30 countries.
