About Once upon a time there was oil
In the garage of a quiet house, two children rummage through the shelves and accidentally knock over a can of oil. A drop falls and transforms into Goutix, the official mascot of Méroll, frying and motor oils. Goutix will take the kids on a wonderful and informative journey to the Méroll factory in question. You too, at the table or in the garage, ask for the best: Méroll oil!
Directed by Vincent Paronnaud, Once upon a time there was oil leans on a strong ensemble — Denis Vautrin, Fily Keita, Raphaël Lamarque — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2010.
