Overrated and overhyped

Expected more

A lot of fun.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Amazing scenery, well-made characters and lots of delicate humour that won't make you fall out of your chair, but will work overall. Such a cute movie with an unexpected protagonist, that you cannot even dislike a little bit! Nice idea, really special, with Paris as the perfect setting, as well as the era in which it evolves which is one of my favorites in such movies! This is a movie that you won't regret watching, it's a cartoon really fit for small children as well, despite all these horrible concepts that come out once in a while that can give nightmares even to grown ups. This is one of my favorite cartoons of 2015 - cause I actually discovered it a bit late!

This movie has good graphics and is a decent looking cartoon. I did not like how it portrayed the main woman as an angel who's songs where trance like and she sings of hypnotizing people. Every time something dangerous or bad happens a character says Jesus (in vain) or O.M.Gd.. which is also using the Lords name in vain. I feel that's just teaching children to speak that way and getting them ready for adult movies which ALL say G.D multiple times usually. It also has scientist like people who are evil and create mutant creations and giant plants (GMO?) oh and the villain wants to be a hero claiming the people need a "savior" movies like this confuse small children about who our REAL savior is in Jesus!! That his name is above all names not just for "oh I stubbed my toe J****!"

In the US, the DVD for this film only has the English language version of this French cartoon. The same goes for Netflix. Interestingly, in Canada BOTH versions come on the DVD and I wish we had that option here in the States.The story is odd to say the least. A flea is accidentally dosed with some chemicals and grows to human-size--larger, actually. However, an odd lady chanteuse falls sorry for the nice bug and helps hide him from baddies who want to destroy him and have convinced most everyone that the flea is a horrible monster. Together with her two male friends, the three humans have adventures with the flea and explore the streets and neighborhoods of Paris.The plot to this film is okay, but what really impressed me was the nice computerized graphics. The film is nearly as nice looking as a Dreamworks or Pixar film but also has a look about it that is uniquely French. I particularly liked seeing Montmartre and Sacre Coueur--magnificent places that look even better in this nice film.Overall, an enjoyable film that probably would appeal more to older children than young ones due to the style of characters and types of songs in the movie.

It's 1910 Paris, a bungling delivery man and his friend create a monster accidentally from a flea, but the over-sized flea has talent for music which is as famous as his unjust monster reputation.Monster in Paris takes a lot of chances with the narrative and pacing that larger studios wouldn't attempt. The computer animation is excellently done, cute and stylistic. Vanessa Paradis is note worthy bringing Lucille to life wonderfully. It's darker parts are reminiscent of Tim Burton's outings, that said, it's fresh Parisian fun, with catchy songs, and a witty script to match.It's slightly off beat and doesn't dot all the i's and cross the t's story wise but this is what makes it so appealing.
