The Girl Who Cried Pearls (French: La jeune fille qui pleurait des perles) is a 2025 Canadian animated short film, directed by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski. Made through stop-motion animation, the film centers on a young boy who meets and falls in love with a girl who secretly weeps pearls at night.
The initial inspiration for the film came during the production of the duo's 2007 short film Madame Tutli-Putli, when a prop necklace unexpectedly fell apart, scattering pearls across the set, as they were filming the climactic scene.
At the 98th Academy Awards, The Girl Who Cried Pearls was nominated for Best Animated Short Film.
