palavitsinis 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!

MartinHafer 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.

vanduci2 I saw this with my daughters (4 and 8 yrs)and I must admit it had enchanted us. The story, the characters and the music. This is one of those movies which is enjoyable for kids and adults also. In some way we liked it more than most of Pixar's and other big studio's movies. It's innocent, lovable and got that french feeling. There are some things that could have been done better, but it's not annoying while you watch the movie. The music is really catchy and not the kind of "sing anywhere, anytime without any reason". Now my daughters can't stop listening the songs and they want to learn both English and french versions:)

Barry Pattengill I watched this with my grandchildren and wife and son. My 6 year old grandson loved it 'to infinity and beyond', my 11 year old granddaughter loved it but thought it was 'weird', my son liked it a lot and my wife enjoyed it well enough. I'm with my grandson on loving it to the max. It was a totally delightful 90 minutes with several highlights scattered throughout. The English voice talent was spot-on with kudos to all involved and a truly great vocal performance by Danny Huston as Police Commissioner Maynott - listen carefully to his last big scene and wait for the end credits to finish ;o)I've seen where some reviewers are very critical of 'A Monster In Paris' and seem to think it should have conformed to what they personally expected of it and complain about it 'borrowing' from classics like 'Beauty and the Beast, 'Frankenstein' and others. I believe it to be an original film - as much as can be these days, anyway - with classic themes that are beautifully integrated into a highly original base. 10+ Stars all the way!
