Arthur et les Minimoys plot
"Adventure awaits in your own backyard."
10-year-old Arthur lives with his grandmother. One day he learns that his grandmother is deeply in debt and that their house will probably be sold. In an effort to save their home, Arthur goes in search of the legendary treasure, which his adventurous grandfather once received from the Massai and which he has hidden somewhere in the area. Because his grandfather has disappeared without a trace for years, Arthur himself, with the help of the nature folk the Minimoys, goes in search of the treasure.

With clear pros and cons. Arthur and the Minimoys is actually the umpteenth in the modern series of imaginative children's films. Luc Besson doesn't change that. Just as much as Madonna (can't even pick out one), Snoop Dogg and Robert de Niro can take the film to the next level. De Niro definitely didn't come into his own here. The only nice voice over is that of David Bowie, but he is the only one from this set that has at least some feeling with this genre.
Furthermore, Arthur and the Minimoys follows the fixed formula. A kind child with broad interests tries to help his parent/guardian in a difficult matter and is eventually helped by fairytale characters. The first part is pretty fun. Freddie Highmore is no longer a child star, but in those days very suitable for these kinds of roles. A fine actor who I hope continues his strong streak into his adult years. He puts down a sympathetic Arthur. Once under the minimoys, it's a shame everything is animated. Visually, the quality deteriorates. The CGI is ugly by 2006 standards. Despite the well-trodden paths and milked-out formulas, Arthur's adventure is quite fun. You have the usual club of good guys and bad guys. An excellent children's film, but Arthur And The Minimoys offers nothing extra for experienced film viewers.

This is a very enjoyable and successful film. The combination of film with real human actors in the big world and animation in the small world of the Minimoys works very well. It is very adventurous with nice characters and the necessary humor. It was hard for me to believe that the grandmother was played by Mia Farrow. What a beautiful woman she still is!
