Tossup

In a film from this movement, a pigeon sits on a burnt stake that a young girl throws a flower onto after the title character escapes being burned alive by swallowing a pair of magic earrings. In another film from this movement, a group of children run away from home and refuse to return until an animal’s safety is ensured; in that film, people’s “true colors” are revealed when they appear illuminated in shades of red, yellow, and purple after being exposed to the gaze of that (*) title animal. In one film from this movement, (10[1])the main characters use scissors to cut up themselves and the screen, resulting in their disembodied heads floating in the center of the frame; that film ends with them engaging in a destructive food fight. For 10 points, Marie I and II partake in a series of hijinks in a film from what movement, whose works include The Cassandra Cat, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, and Daisies? ■END■
