When Arthur(Freddy Highmore) first encounters Princess Selenia(Madonna), a beautiful and indelibly feminine, but nevertheless, creature, who could've been a figment of his raconteur grandfather's imagination; "Arthur & the When Arthur(Freddy Highmore) first encounters Princess Selenia(Madonna), a beautiful and indelibly feminine, but nevertheless, creature, who could've been a figment of his raconteur grandfather's imagination; "Arthur & the Invisibles" brought me back to my first movie star crush. Her name was Kira. She was a gelfing. She was the most beautiful...muppet, I had ever seen(way, way, way prettier than Miss Piggy). Even though "Arthur & the Invisibles" largely covers the same terrain as "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", a scene like the one in which Arthur shares a rosebud-turned-bed with Princess Selenia, somewhat alleviates this formulaic film from the commercially-mandated instinct that it's noisy action in which audiences yearn for. The age difference between Arthur and Princess Selenia is provocative(they come close to kissing), but never sordid; always sweet. If "Arthur & the Invisibles" had more ambition and artistry, the filmmaker could've chopped the running time of this first adventure(a tired story about recovering rubies to help save the farm), and reunited the age-challenged couple when Arthur got older. Princess Selenia isn't like the dragon in the Peter, Paul & Mary folksong(she's corporeal), but Arthur's affinity for this Minimoy may not last once he starts meeting human girls; which is what's intriguing, and potentially fatalistic, about Princess Selenia's promise that she'll wait for him.… Expand

Not impressive but cute 3d animation. Not really charming characters. Madonna's mature voice doesn't suit her young girl character and her partner - young boy who plays the leading role. To much mosquitoes.

The computer-generated world is visually rich, but short on the droll humor that makes good children's films bearable for adults and children for that matter too. Director Luc Besson, best known for "La Femme Nikita" and "The Fifth The computer-generated world is visually rich, but short on the droll humor that makes good children's films bearable for adults and children for that matter too. Director Luc Besson, best known for "La Femme Nikita" and "The Fifth Element," admits he knew nothing about animation before he started this project, and it shows. Arthur and the losers haplessly blends live-action and visually repellent computer-animated work. This kids' cartoon from France is such a surreally demented attempt to connect with children that it's the equivalent of foie gras breakfast cereal or a bleu cheese milkshake.… Expand

I liked this movie a lot because there were little creatures, and how the boy went into the telescope. At the end of the telescope was a little glass, and after he hit the glass, the gooey stuff melted the glass and he went to the backyard I liked this movie a lot because there were little creatures, and how the boy went into the telescope. At the end of the telescope was a little glass, and after he hit the glass, the gooey stuff melted the glass and he went to the backyard and that was really really really cool!!!!!!! It was very exciting and fun. I also liked the way they escaped from the water coming by getting through a door using the wind-up car that they found, enabling them to go faster and saving them. This really good part was when the boy found his grandpa's hidden treasure in the backyard. I really liked the graphics. I recommend this movie for everyone to see!… Expand

The animation is beautiful, and better than most US films. the story is lovely, but the English version has been cut of crucial scenes. Try to see the original French. Hint: Arthur marries Selenia and will be the future king of the Minimoys.

Why did they cut some of the scenes in US release. It makes the story hard to understand. Its good, but better if it is complete.

Arthur and the Invisibles may be a tale for children, but it's got the bad habits of a profligate adult -- the thing borrows shamelessly from its betters and then pretends to be self-sustaining. YET, MADONNA--FAAABULOUS!!!!

Rather boring story, but is totaly worthwhile to watch for it's characters. The relationship between Arthur and Selenia is what really got me interested. The age difference between the two actors didn't bother me at all. It is a Rather boring story, but is totaly worthwhile to watch for it's characters. The relationship between Arthur and Selenia is what really got me interested. The age difference between the two actors didn't bother me at all. It is a shame that the US versions had 10 minutes cut from it because of the deeper relationship between Arthur and Selenia. Well, I guess you can always watch the cut scenes on youtube. I'm looking forward to the sequels.… Expand

Very creative with humor and great animation. Madonna did well crossing over from the music world to a kid's movie. Highmore did excellent as the lead role.

What a strange film. They talk so quickly that it is often hard to tell what they are saying. This becomes annoying at times and sometimes you give up. You get the core story without needing to know what they are saying all the time. The CGIWhat a strange film. They talk so quickly that it is often hard to tell what they are saying. This becomes annoying at times and sometimes you give up. You get the core story without needing to know what they are saying all the time. The CGI animation sections are quite ugly. The real world looks nice though. There are some jokes that only adults would get and some may deem as inappropriate. There isn't a lot of comedy or action and there is one really long scene of exposition but otherwise ambles along talking fast. If it wasn't for the ride at Europa Park then I would have never heard of this film and maybe that is for the best. Shame that such an excellent ride didn't have a better film to accompany it. Certainly not the worst film and it has enough to get you to the end but not enough to make you want to see it again or watch any of the sequels.… Expand
