Disappointment for a huge fan!

A Brilliant Conflict

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I found this film while cruising Netflix. I'm fond of 3-D animated films and decided to watch it on a whim. I wasn't disappointed. The beginning is a bit slow, but once it gets going it's a wonderful story! I especially enjoyed the music, the vocals by Sean Lennon and Vanessa Paradis are haunting and lovely. The overriding theme of the film is to not judge someone by their appearance. There are monsters among us every day, and they can hide behind a handsome face. A good lesson for us all. Overall, I'd say the film was a charming surprise! I definitely recommend it!

MONSTER IN Paris.It was good.I like animated films and am in particular a big Disney fan. Now this film is not made by Disney, but is still pretty good.The story is about a scientist's equipment being messed about with and a flea from a monkey gets enlarged and goes roaming around Paris. But when it turns out that the flea has a good singing voice, he makes a few friends and must escape the people trying to catch him and kill him.The story is pretty good and the animation is also really well done. As most other cartoon movies, there are some songs in it, but they are good too. I thought there was one song in particular that was really catchy.I watched this with my 11 year old daughter and my girlfriend. My daughter liked it a lot, but my girlfriend thought it was average at best.There are some really funny parts in the film which made us all laugh out loud too.At no point in the movie were any of us bored or distracted from it. It kept us glued to the screen.I will give this film a 7 out of 10.This is a great family film and even though it's not as good as some other animated films, such as Despicable Me, most of the Disney classics etc, it is still a great movie to watch with the kids or even alone.For more reviews please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

I have never seen any French animation before (it never occurred to me it existed) so I was not sure what to expect with this; Something overly arty I think.But this is a great movie. The voices are very good and the animation, although CGI, is quaint and pleasing to the eye.The main differences I found between this and the big Disney titles is the in-your-face-factor. In Disney you get big belting 'Just around the river-bend' numbers; here you get a more sophisticated, more unusual medley of quirky, but very good jazz type pieces.The same with the animation, it is all very sedate and in places very beautiful. There is lots of action but not the fast moving bright colours and grand set pieces of what I am used to.This all sat very well with me and made for excellent viewing. But if you (or your kids)are used to big, bold animation this will either come as a refreshing change or a bit of a let down.I would recommend risking it.

When I started watching this movie with my kids, the first thing I notice was how simply the rendering really was, comparing this with Kung Fu Panda 2 is like comparing a 3D movie with a 2D movie. When the movie started developing it's characters and story it completely transformed my view of the movie.Just in the first 30 minutes, this movie completely surpassed Hollywood craps like Kung Fu panda 2 that only relies on spectacular FX to get away with not presenting creative ideas.This movie is simply stunning, so much detailed and heart was put into developing it's characters and their relations to their way of life. This movie is more about our human nature than it is about monsters, truly remarkable accomplishment.When you think you're watching a simply kid's movie you're actually watching a multi-layered work of art and art is what truly excels at this one!The movie truly shines in the art and visual styles, as much as it shines in the music department.If there is something worth mentioning about it's negative side is that there's not enough music in the movie, the "monster" which is a music artist really was asking for a lot more presence on scene showing his talents, rather than running away from people but, this is the way movie is developed and it is for a reason.A monster in Paris reflects our inner fears with what we perceived as "different" and how each one behaves in the presence of something different, some people will try to take advantage of the situation for personal gain and some will put their prejudices aside and show their unconditional love.Ultimately, this movie is adorable, the only thing I would change is the last pursuit scene, it's too long for my taste but it's not easily predictable and that accounts for the superb tension that it's created, hopefully the movie ends in a right note.This nice animated movie will surely touch your heart and is a remarkable work of art with a sense of justice and a lot of courage to show exactly how humans behave and what kind of traits we have in our hearts. A movie about values, friendship, music, art and with much heart in it.Once again, the rest of the world shows Hollywood that movies CAN be made with a nice script and characters we care for instead of bombarding our senses with FX, FX and more FX.A sure bet to all the family, 8 out of 10.
