Table for two: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie leave the Tetou restaurant in France last night after dining out together


A protective Brad Pitt holds on tight to his partner Angelina Jolie as they get mobbed by crowds outside a French restaurant last night.

The Hollywood power couple rounded off the weekend with a romantic meal for two at Tetou Restaurant in Cannes where they are both attending the annual film festival.

Angelina looked fantastic in a three-quarter-length white dress while Brad cut a dash in a suit and open neck white shirt.

Jolie came to the Cannes Film Festival this year to promote Kung Fu Panda 2 while Pitt's drama The Tree of Life premieres on Monday.

Angelina revealed she loved making the children's Kung Fu Panda movies - because they're both entertaining and educational for her children.

The actress said Kung Fu Panda 2 resonates in particular because it has an adoption theme - and because three of the six Jolie-Pitt children - Maddox, Pax and Zahara - are all adopted.

Jolie, 35, said at the Cannes Film Festival, where the movie is premiering: 'The words adoption, birth mothers and orphanages are happy words in our household, and we talk about those subjects all the time.'

Jolie voices the character Tigress in both Kung Fu Panda films and she added: 'I'm especially excited to be in this movie because of my daughters.

'She's one of the best characters I've ever played. My kids love it, and in many ways I did it for them.

'At the end of the day, we're all big kids. Life is very much about family and the family you choose.

'You can define your own destiny despite what happened to you in the past.'

Meanwhile Jolie's directorial debut has picked up a U.S. distributor.

Her Bosnian War film In the Land of Blood and Honey will be released on December 23 by FilmDistrict, a subsidiary of GK Films.

Announcing the acquisition on Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival, GK Films founder Graham King said Jolie's debut 'signals the arrival of a visceral and compelling storyteller'.

The film features a completely local Bosnian cast, most of whom were children during the 1990s war.
