Miss Boots (French: Mlle Bottine) is a Canadian children's comedy film, directed by Yan Lanouette Turgeon and released in 2024. A modernized remake of the 1986 film Bach and Broccoli (Bach et Bottine), the film stars Antoine Bertrand as Philippe, an opera composer who is entrusted with the care of his young niece Simone (Marguerite Laurence) after the death of her parents, and is shaken out of his crippling social anxiety by the need to take care of Simone and her pet skunk Bottine.
The cast also includes Marilyn Castonguay, Mani Soleymanlou, Mateo Laurent Membreño Daigle, Benoît Gouin, François Chénier, Ellen David, Jean-François Provençal, Myriam Fournier, Louise Turcot and Dino Tavarone.
The film did not precisely replicate the original film's screenplay, instead introducing new elements such as Philippe's battle with anxiety and other efforts to present more fully rounded adult characters.
Production and release
The film was shot in Montreal in fall 2023.
It premiered at the Schlingel International Children's Film Festival in September 2024. It subsequently had a gala screening on November 18, 2024, at Montreal's Théâtre Maisonneuve, before opening commercially on November 29.
Awards
At Schlingel, Laurence won the award for Best Children's Performer and the film won the Club of Festivals Children jury prize.
