Calamity, A Childhood of Martha Jane Cannary is a French animated feature film directed by Rémi Chayé. Freely inspired by the life of the American pioneer Calamity Jane, this animated film has established itself in France as one of the best animated films of recent years.

1863, United States of America. Martha Jane's father is injured in a convoy heading west in the hope of a better life. She has to drive the family wagon and look after the horses. The apprenticeship is hard, but Martha Jane has never felt so free. And because it's more convenient to ride, she doesn't hesitate to put on pants. It is the audacity of too much for Abraham, the leader of the convoy. Accused of theft, Martha is forced to flee. Dressed as a boy, searching for proof of her innocence, she discovers a world under construction where her unique personality will assert itself. An adventure full of dangers and rich in encounters which, step by step, will reveal the mythical Calamity Jane.
