A

motion picture JACK AND THE CUCKOO-CLOCK HEART is a visually
opulent animated fairy tale set in an exciting period full of fabulous

JACK AND THE CUCKOO-CLOCK HEART is set in
the late 19th century Edinburgh, where little Jack is born on a day so
cold that his heart remains frozen. Madeleine the midwife saves his life
by inserting a cuckoo clock in place of his defective heart. It will
work, she warns him, as long as Jack observes three golden rules. First
of all, he must never touch the hands of the clock. Secondly, he must
control his anger. And last, but certainly not least, he must never,
ever fall in love. The moment Jack sets eyes on a young girl singing on a
street corner, the hands of his clock-heart begin to race. Desperate to
find her again, Jack launches himself into a romantic quest that will
lead him from the lochs of Scotland, to the city of Paris and all the
way to Andalusia.
