A MONSTER IN PARIS
Available on
Blu-ray Family Pack & DVD
June 4, 2012
Be prepared to get acquainted with a tuneful talent of
monstrous proportions this summer as Franc the musical flea wins hearts and
minds in A Monster In Paris, arriving on Blu-ray Family Pack and DVD from June
4, 2012, courtesy of Entertainment One.
A wacky inventor, his camera-crazy best friend and a madcap
monkey make a massive mistake when let loose in a mad scientist’s laboratory.
With lotions and potions spilling everywhere, the troublesome trio accidentally
creates Franc, the product of a reaction between a common flea and one of the
scientist’s mystery concoctions. What they fail to realise, however, is that
this ‘monster’ is actually a soft-centered soul with a spooky talent for music.
With the help of a feisty nightclub singer, Franc becomes
the talk of the town, just as stories of Paris’s newest monster attract the
attention of the egotistical police commissioner, hell bent on securing a big
prize to help his battle to become mayor.
The brilliant value Blu-ray Family Pack includes 3D Blu-ray,
Blu-ray and DVD versions of the film, catering for all your entertainment needs
in one handy package. And with fun-packed extras including ‘Charles’ Challenge’
and a ‘Meet The Characters’ featurette, there’s even more to keep you occupied!
A Monster in Paris is definitely one for the older kids who will understand the story and the theme, although Freddy aged 3 did love the musical numbers and the action packed car chase and finale that took place on the Eiffel Tower!
What We Thought:
We watched this film together and it was a huge hit with the older girls. After a slightly strange start, the plot quickly had us quite transfixed as Franc was created and unleashed into the Parisian streets. With elements of King Kong and Beauty and the Beast, the theme of the persecuted gentle giant tugged at the heartstrings. Franc's singing talent (voiced by Sean Lennon) left a heartwarming glow that really enabled you to feel the humanity of the monster. The film was poignant and quite beautiful! It left you rooting for romance, acceptance and justice...and it delivered.A Monster in Paris is definitely one for the older kids who will understand the story and the theme, although Freddy aged 3 did love the musical numbers and the action packed car chase and finale that took place on the Eiffel Tower!
