Arthur wastes its big-name voice talent on a predictable script and substandard CG animation.

In a year when a lot of big-screen animation felt like it came rolling off the video game assembly line, a little originality goes a long way. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper 02/05/2007
Strange and kind of meandering. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 02/03/2007

Here is an overproduced, oversugared semi-animated children's fantasy adventure from Luc Besson that made me want to cringe into my plush seat, never to re-emerge. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/06/2019
Cute enough and cool enough at times that I would take all four of my nephews to see it, but minimal cute and cool isn't enough for the long haul. Go to Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List 11/03/2018
3/5
Strangely, for a feature animation aimed at a younger audience, Arthur and the Invisibles is most entertaining in its live-action sequences. Go to Full Review Megan Basham WORLD 10/16/2018
Unquestionably original, watching Arthur and the Invisibles frequently feels like sitting in on an elaborate video game. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 An ambitious fantasy that lands right in the middle between a fun adventure and a missed opportunity. The blend of live-action and 3D animation is interesting, and the design of the underground world of the Minimoys shows a lot of visual creativity for its time. However, the film loses major steam due to a generic plot, packed with clichés and jokes that often miss the mark. While it’s not a complete disaster and works well enough to entertain young audiences, it lacks the true charm and magic to be memorable. A thoroughly average movie.

People gave this movie quite some rough reviews but I underestand that it's not for everybody! But it will always have a special place in my heart See more Read all reviews
