Arthur and the Invisibles (Widescreen Edition)

I bought this movie for myself because I loved it so much when I viewed it with my grandchildren. It is a wonderful movie with lots of laughs and serious moments. The little boy was so cute and was very good as the main character. Get it to watch with your kids and grandkids, and keep it for yourself.

Although this movie is quite wonderful in it's original form.
The 'Weinstein' version is disjointed, removes any of the undercurrent for the movie, and makes quite a mess of things in the process.
Save your money, demand that there be a Region 1 - Unedited/Directors cut, and you'll be much happier.

I really enjoyed this movie with my niece and nephew, they liked it a lot as well. The villan scared them a bit but not too bad. He's a bit of a wimpy villan as it is shown later on.

The quality of the animation was great, I put it in my upscaling player for my 52 inch and it resulted great quality, very very little noise for a non HD format upscaled. Animations and computer genrated imaging is great for that.

It's got a great morally sound story as well. It's even fun for the little ones to watch. I know they enjoyed it because they ask to see it from time to time when they are over (too many movies never get seen again with those 2).

This isn't a bad film, my kids liked it well enough. My complaint is with the DVD editing. I saw the uncut version on satellite TV in Japan, and this Weinstein release edited out some of the funnier scenes. I suppose they were considered a little too racy for a "G" rating, but the material cut was very mild and shouldn't have been objectionable even to families with small children. For example, when Arthur, the Princess, and her little brother are in a small boat about to go over the falls, Arthur needs a bit of rope so he can tie it to his sword, stick the sword into a log over the stream, and climb the rope to safety. There isn't any rope, and Arthur starts to reach for the cord that ties the Princess's shirt front. She swats his hand away and says something like "just because we're about to die doesn't mean you can take liberties!" He explains what it's for and takes it, so she has to hold her shirt closed with one hand. Right away they have to climb up the cord, and he tells her to use both hands, but she needs one hand to keep her top on. There are several cuts like that in this U.S. DVD release. They make the story choppy and wipe out the context for some of the later jokes.
I'd wait to buy a copy until you can get an unedited version. This one's just not very good.

I really enjoy this movie more than I thought I would. It's a very cute movie and every adult will be surprised.
