Review
This international animated CGI musical proves you dont need Disney to deliver funny, colorful pop cartoons. --MOVIEFONE, April 2013
Its not hard to imagine John Lennon really digging the animated musical movie A Monster in Paris, and not just because the famous Beatles son Sean Lennon voices a 7-foot singing flea in the film. --USA TODAY, April 2013

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful film
I saw this pop up on NetFlix, wasn't sure what it was, I really had no desire to see it....Til my family popped it on.First off the animation is top notch, attentions to details are incredible, amazing what you can do with CGI. Set, lighting, effects are all there, thus increasing the enjoyment.Set in Paris in January of 1910, the Story revolves around an inventor/deliveryman, Raoul, and his theater projectionist friend, Emile. Emile has the hots for a cashier at the theater, Maud, wanting to take the girl on a real date. Raoul delivers needed supplies to a local professor , but has to deal with the Professors handyman who happens to be a monkey instead, (Along with his endless and always ready supply of answer cards he flashes at everybody). Emile is testing a new motion camera and Raoul is acting out his scientist side and accidentally mixes two chemicals. Setting off a chemical explosion. Caught in the explosion is a ordinary flea off the monkey, and thus creating a huge monster but harmless that is the basis of our story. For part of the chemical reaction outside of making average plants huge, is to give the flea a wonderful singing voice. But the flea escapes the gardens and begins 'terrorizing' Paris.Enter Lucille, lead singer at the Rare Bird Cabaret whom Raoul has a secret crush on. She encounters the giant flea and hears him singing to himself and offers the creature shelter and protection. And to disguise him from an over ambitious Police chief. Lucille names the flea Franceour and when she performs on stage her song 'La Seine', Franceour joins in, much to the audience delight.But the Police chief is determined to capture or better yet, kill "the Monster" and make a name for himself and actively pursues Franceoure.I will not spoil more, but needless to say, a happy ending. My only regret is that in the English version, the voice of Franceour is played by Sean Lennon, where the original voice is by Mathieu Chedid, better known by his performers name of M. Chedid is no stranger to singing in English (he sang in Triplets of Belleville) It would have been nice to hear him instead, though Lennon literally sounds like him.Lucille and Franceour's duet of 'La Seine' is perhaps the best part of the whole film.My one complaint is that the DVD doesn't offer a French language with English subtitles to truly catch the feeling of the film.But after watching this, I had to own the DVD. I highly recommend this delightful movie.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised & very fun
An amazingly fun movie. I wasn't sure what this movie was going to bring thank goodness I bought it. This was definitely more than I thought really, a delightful movie with a great story and music.I'm not exactly sure how I would rate it for children to watch, but I liked it very much. The animation was great, music was fun, story interesting, just a wonderful movie all together enjoy.
5.0 out of 5 stars History, mystery, action, and romance!
This is an awesome period piece movie for kids. It touches on a weird time in Parisian history and also the silent film era and its wild storytelling. The songs are as catchy as any Disney movie, probably better because they come at a time in the plot when they would be performing a song. My son is 9 now and loves it just as much as when he was 4, seeing it for the first time. Treat your kids to this.
5.0 out of 5 stars A fun musical worth Oo la la-ing over
Product arrived quickly and in great condition as described.To review the movie itself with minimal spoilers: A Monster In Paris is a French foreign film directed by Bibo Bergeron, who also directed The Road to El Dorado and co-directed Shark Tale. It's a fun, family-friendly musical that isn't without flaws taking place in 1910 Paris where a monster is accidentally unleashed on the city. I wanna point out that the music is what really shines the most in the movie; the soundtrack alone made the purchase worth it for me because the songs felt very much in a vein like Disney. The plot does have some slight issues, but the movie is designed for kids, and the title clearly indicates that realism isn't the goal of the film.I've seen people negatively reviewing the movie because it doesn't compare to Pixar or Dreamworks movies, but I wanna let everyone know that the budget of this movie from 2011 is not even a third of a standard Pixar/Dreamworks title ($32 million) and foreign films aren't made the same way American movies are; Far too high of expectations.I say give it a chance, don't take it too seriously, and just have fun with it. You might be surprised just how much you may like it.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best kids movies I've seen in ages
I loved this movie. It was a cute story, the animation didn't annoy me too much, and it actually surprised me at times. The soundtrack, also, was super cute.My son is 3, and loves cartoons, and it is a constant battle for us to find something he likes AND that we don't mind him watching. This fits both (he LOVED it), and not only was it unoffensive, it was actually really enjoyable as an adult.Definitely more low-key than the standard contemporary kids movie, but that is part of what I loved about it. And it didn't seem to bother the short-attention span of the 3 year old any, either.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice movie, with catchy songs. The 3D effects are effective, without being overwhelming.
The BluRay disk is mastered well. The 3D effects are used well and are not overpowering; and do add to the "feel" of the picture. This is an unusual picture, and one that very few people have heard of, which is too bad. It can be enjoyed by adults and children. It is a kind of "musical" in that there are a few songs. The music and songs are done well. There are a few too many "main" characters and love interest; some of which are not developed well. Overall, it is an enjoyable film, which can be watched by the whole family without any objectionable content. Great for a family movie night.
An adorable animated movie with stunning music
When I first saw clips of this movie on YouTube, including the by-now-famous song "La Siene," I was so impressed that I immediately began scouring the Internet for a US release date for the movie. When I learned there were no plans for a US release, I was rather disappointed, but I wouldn't let that deter me from seeing this movie. In the end, I splurged and purchased two copies of the DVD (one for myself, one for our local library) from Bolo's Canadian store.Now seeing that there's an upcoming US DVD release, I'm kicking myself for not being more patient, but I don't regret having purchased this. It's a beautiful movie, and while maybe not quite Dreamworks or Pixar quality it's adorable and charming in its own right."A Monster In Paris" takes place in 1910 Paris, during the flooding of the Siene river, and focuses on a short, shy theater worker and his eccentric, bombastic friend, a delivery man who fancies himself an inventor. While dropping off a package at a scientist's home, the two break into his laboratory and accidentally create the titular monster -- a seven-foot-tall, anthromorphic flea who can only communicate via singing. Said "monster" is taken in by a nightclub singer who names him Francois and disguises him as a musician, and soon it falls on her and our two "heroes" to protect him from a ruthless comissioner who will stop at nothing to rid Paris of the creature.While the animation of "A Monster In Paris" isn't quite Pixar quality, I would put it on par with a Dreamworks movie, and it's certainly a cut above the animation of "Ice Age" and "Despicable Me." The scenery shots of early 20th century Paris are gorgeous, and I never once saw a lapse in animation quality that was significant enough to jar me out of the story. And the characters, with the exception of the appropriately villainous commissioner, are likable and quirky, with Francois himself stealing the show -- who knew a giant flea could be so adorable? The story of a group of people hiding a not-so-threatening monster from the authorities might not be the most original one in the world, but it doesn't seem old and tired here -- the new setting and the characters kept it from feeling stale.By far the best feature in this movie is the music. I LOVE the music. Renowned French singers Vanessa Paradis and M provide the vocals, and do a magnificent job. It was a song that led me to find and fall in love with this movie, and the music that remains the best part for me.I watched this movie in the original French, with English subtitles (I always prefer to watch a movie in its original language), so I can't comment on the English dub. I'll leave that for another reviewer.Wonderful movie, with gorgeous music and little to no adult humor or innuendo. I would recommend it for children 5 and older (due to some scary scenes) and anyone who loves musicals, animated films, or even lighthearted monster movies.
Sur les toits de Paris !
Ode à la différence, ce très beau long métrage d'animation fait la part belle aux extérieurs de Paris du début du siècle. Les personnages sont vraiment attachants et leurs aventures rocambolesques. Autant parfois je critique le cinéma français pour son manque de courage en alignant les poncifs vus et revus, autant cette animation me fait dire que dans ce pays les créateurs et les artistes font des petites merveilles lorsqu'ils veulent bien se donner la peine de vraiment travailler. Bibo Bergeron n'en est bien sûr pas à son premier coup d'essai et les années qu'il a passé chez Dreamworks indéniablement se reflètent dans tout le métrage tant du niveau de la création des héros que dans le choix de l'esthétique du film. C'est beau, coloré, étincelant et les chansons collent parfaitement à l'image. Le talent de M et Vanessa Paradis étant pour beaucoup dans le charme et le plaisir à le visionner. Une réussite.Le blu-ray rend justice au film et les nombreux bonus sont très bien faits. A quand une suite ?
I loved this film
I loved this film, the stunning Vanessa Paradis sings beautifully and the animation and storyline is terrific. Well worth it, will be watching it again!
Schöner Film, der Mittelklasse
wirklich schöner film, der zu tränen rührt und auch zum denken anregt. Die Animation ist wirklich gut gelungen und der Film leicht verständich. Ein Monster, eher übergoße Kakalake, kann singen (Chansons) und wird durch ein Mädchen gefördert, die das Geheimnis entdeckt... ein wenig wie Ratatouille, nur anderes Metier.Die gewaltigen Bilder die hier von Paris animiert sind und das im besten 3D sind wirklich sehenswert, sowei der Soundtrack wunderbar hörbar ist. Auch wenn die Geschichte nicht so rasant und packend ist, wie so manch anderes animiertes Abenteur, hat man denn noch siene Freude an diesem Film.Ein wirklich schöner FIlm für die ganze Familie... wer filme wie Ratatouille mag wird auch diesen mögen. Gerne zu empfehlen für jung und alt!
