The City of Lost Children (French: La Cité des enfants perdus) is a 1995 science fantasy film directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, written by Jeunet and Gilles Adrien, and starring Ron Perlman. An international co-production of companies from France, Germany, and Spain, the film is stylistically related to the previous and subsequent Jeunet films, Delicatessen (1991) and Amélie (2001).[4]

The musical score was composed by Angelo Badalamenti,[4] with costumes designed by Jean Paul Gaultier.[5] It was entered into the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.[6]
