A Monster in Paris (2011)
(Un monstre à Paris)
Country: FR
Technical: col 90m
Director: Bibo Bergeron
Cast: Mathieu Chedid, Vanessa Paradis, Gad Elmaleh, François Cluzet, Ludivine Sagnier
Synopsis:
In 1920s Paris a delivery boy and a cinema projectionist inadvertently enact an experiment which creates a giant singing flea. The latter is taken in by a successful nightclub singer - to considerable approbation - but must also reckon with the predatory attentions of a vain and unprincipled Commissioner who will stop at nothing to promote his public image.
Review:
An inventive animation with pleasantly dated vistas of a city in flood, made with an eye on the international market, and certainly more Ratatouille than Belleville Rendez-vous. The musical interludes are catchy and the colour palette agreeable to the eye.
