Arthur and the Invisibles
After watching a low-res version, a French version and a better French teaser, The Weinstein Co and MGM have finally given us an animated trailer worth drooling over. Once titled Arthur and the Minimoys -- a title I liked better by the way -- the new, or should I say first, trailer for Arthur and the Invisibles has just appeared online.
Arthur and the Invisibles Trailer
10-year-old Arthur has a lot on his plate: a real estate developer is about to snap up his grandma's home... and there's no way Arthur's going to hang around for his parents or grandparents to sort out the problem. Maybe the solution lies in his grandpa's treasure, which is hidden somewhere on the "other side" in the land of the Minimoys. The creatures that inhabit this world are just a tenth of an inch tall and live in perfect harmony with their environment.
Arthur ventures into this world of the Minimoys, where he meets Princess Selenia and her brother Betameche. Together they set off to look for the treasure that will save his grandma. An action-packed adventure ensues, full of pitfalls and intrigues, all the way up to the forbidden city ruled by the evil M the Malicious. Arthur's journey in the Minimoys universe reveals that sometimes the smallest heroes make the biggest difference.
The trailer for Arthur and the Invisibles makes the film look like a rocking good time and I dig the transition from real life to CG animation.
Anybody else notice how familiar Freddie Highmore looks to the lead animated character in Monster House? I know, has nothing to do with this film, but still a strange coincidence.
