Little Nicholas (Le Petit Nicolas) (translated)

Le Petit Nicolas (Little Nicholas) (known in Turkey as Pıtırcık) is a 2009 French family comedy directed by Laurent Tirard and based on the children's book series written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé. Released in the 50th anniversary year of the character's creation, it was the first cinema adaptation of the series. This page covers the Turkish-dubbed version, voiced in part by Bahtiyar Engin.

The story is set in 1960s France. Maxime Godart plays Nicolas, a happy, contented boy who spends his days with his friends, and Kad Merad and Valérie Lemercier play his parents. Everything changes when he concludes from his parents' talk that a new sibling is coming, and panics. His tactics to stop his family from giving him up backfire, so he and his friends move on to “plan B”.

Tirard wrote the script with Grégoire Vigneron and Alain Chabat, and Fidélité Productions produced it. It opened in France on September 30, 2009, and in Turkey on January 15, 2010. Mostly well reviewed, it drew about 5.5 million viewers in France, was nominated for Best Adaptation at the 35th César Awards and won a youth-film prize at Cinéfranco. A sequel, Les Vacances du petit Nicolas, followed in 2014.
