Fantastic!

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

this movie is reminiscent of an old American cartoon called the littles. this movie is slow at the start, set in the united states, when it should have ben set in the English country side, all in all the best I can give it is, it's nice, nothing spectacular but nice, worth a watch at least once.

I loved this movie. The animation is very nice and the plot is interesting, fun, and cute. I'm glued to the TV screen every time I watch it even if I know what is going to happen. I think I have watched this movie like 100 time and I still want to watch it again even if I know all the lines. Great movie for kids, I know that I couldn't keep my eyes off the movie and I was like 13 when I saw it for the first time. All the actors do a great job. Also if you saw epic it does not even compare to this movie, this movie is a million times better. I personally put it right below avengers on my list of favorite movies. I hope you like this movie if you watch it! =^.^= Thanks!

eccentric, seductive, nice. a film for every age because Luc Besson gives not only a quality animation but a lovely story. adventures, small mythology, seductive characters and a not complicated plot. and presence of Madonna or Mia Farrow in cast is an important detail. but the most important is Freddie Highmore who, like in many other cases, creates a splendid character. yes, it is not the best movie and many critics are expected from viewers but to be a masterpiece is not the purpose of director but a form of entertainment who gives to children nice story, to adults memories about golden age. a film who can not enthuse but gives a cute story and a lovely universe.

I first purchased the version made for England, locally as a second hand DVD. It was a speculative purchase, it seemed like it might be okay.I liked it, but mostly when I re-watched it I started from when Arthur was preparing to go into the Minimoys' land and ended at the start of the journey to Necropolis.I noticed that many UK reviews either were not impressed or considered that the French soundtrack was way superior. Those views did not make much sense to me.I then purchased the Blu-ray of Arthur And The Great Adventure and found it to be fairly empty. A wasted purchase. But I remembered the comment about the French language. It was a long shot, but I checked out the Arthur series in Amazon France and purchased the triple DVD box set from there. My plan was to listen in French but watch with the English subtitles on, just the subtitles are only in French so I put my disk set to one side.December, the horror season. For Christmas I decided to check through my disks for Barbie stuff that I had not watched much yet and I also added the Arthur set to the collection, together with seasons 3 and 4 of Trachenberg's Gossip Girl. Apart from bits of GG, Christmas turned into something other than horror. I do like Barbie movies.None of the Arthur disks from France were anything like the stuff that I purchased in England. Feature 1, Arthur Et Les Minimoys is longer and includes a different dialogue to the version for England. It gels as a story. I tend to watch it all the way through, not just the middle bit.My Blu-ray of Arthur And The Great Adventure turned out to be a weak edited version of the two remaining stories, Arthur Et La Vengeance De Maltazard (2009) and Arthur Et La Guerre Des Deux Mondes (2010). If I do not re-watch episode 1 so much is because I tend to head to these as well. I also look to the final 15 minutes of Arthur Et La Vengeance De Maltazard as that has a lead in to a magnificent end credits song.One big difference between the French and the English is the romance between the 10 year old Arthur and the thousand year old Selenia. In English one accepts that there is a romance because it says so, the French version shows it. It is a real romance type adventure story, in the first feature especially.From other reviews, I get the impression that the version made for France is the cinema release version that was shown in England.
