Freddie Highmore, Mia Farrow, and the voices of David Bowie, Madonna and Snoop Dogg. Live action/animation. Written and directed by Luc Besson.
FILM SYNOPSIS: Ten-year-old Arthur lives on a nice farm with his loving grandmother. But Grandpa disappeared a while back and now a mean guy means to foreclose on their nice farm. Ah, but Grandpa was good enough to leave a treasure behind. If found, their money worries are over. Clues left behind suggest the treasure is in another realm governed by pixies called Mimimoys. Tiny, almost invisible, the Mimimoys have problems of their own. The land developer who aims to get the farm will bring serious changes to their cozy environment.
Smart boy Arthur discovers how to shrink himself in order to seek help from the fairy creatures. But before the happy ending, there come several perilous adventures for young Arthur and his pointy-eared pals.
PREVIEW REVIEW: It’s reminiscent of Ferngully: The Last Rainforest, with a softer ecological message and without the zany wit of Robin Williams. Clever and energetic, it’s more adventure than comedy, but pleasant enough for kids bored with their recent Christmas morning haul.
Distributor: The Weinstein Company
