Here's a review I found of the movie today from someone who saw it at TIFF. Some spoilers, but I don't think anything major. Still, be careful if you do choose to read this, because I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone by posting this. I just thought some might be interested in reading a review of the film. Okay, you have been warned, so here it is: www.jaredmobarak.com/2011/09/10/a-monster-in-paris/I'm glad it's a pretty favorable review; just reading this makes me even more excited to see it

Ooh! I am so glad the reviews were favorable! I had this awful (and I admit, irrational) thought that it was going to flop like so many other films that looked really good. Silly me, this movie is too good to flop! ...Also, mini-spoiler (It's not bad, and I don't even know if it can be considered a spoiler, but I've gotten in trouble for not marking these before so I'm being overly cautious) THEY KEEP HIS NAME AS FRANCOEUR! "Frank" is just a nickname I suppose.

OHO, a spoiler that doesn't tell us the ending~ Clever them. I pretty much figured that's how the film would go anyways -shot-
Oh praise the lord...

Oh yay, I'm glad the reviews were favorable. Though...there is one spoiler I really want to know that was only kind-of answered for me. If anyone has seen the film and can 'fully' answer it for me: Okay, so there isn't a cross-species hookup *sadface* but I'm wondering, is there any canon hook-up involving Lucille? Or is the whole movie just one big friendship film with romantic undertones, but no actual canon paring? If it's just a friendship film then ROCKIN' I can live with that, but if she hooks up with Raoul (sorry Raoul fans >.< ) I'm gonna be kind of sad. (If anyone answers this, be sure to remember your spoiler tags.)

Hopefully this answers your question, Emperor: If sources are reliable (and I have no reason to doubt them) Lucille and Raoul get together at the end. Sad, I know.

In one of the reviews I read, the person stated they didn't like Raoul at all until the end when he has this one scene that redeemed him. I don't know anything about the scene, only that the person said they liked him better after it. As for me, my biggest fear is that they're going to turn Francouer back into a tiny flea at the end. I really hope that doesn't happen...it'd make me sad T.T

As soon as I saw the English trailer I thought....'Francoeur and Lucille aren't gonna be together' It seemed more dramatic in French and I thought it would be like Beauty and the Beast type thing....I am disappoint....

D: Besides, they're probably going to pull a "love and tolerance for those who are different" and all that fun stuff :3

I work in animation and I've seen most of the 3D animated films out there (recent favs being Tangled and How to Train Your Dragon). This is a very good film. On par with lesser Pixar films but with its own distinctive charm.
The 3 songs are amazing. And I'm very familiar with Broadway musicals. The lack of plot depth is a minor issue (i.e characters lack dual conflicting goals) as the story tends to move in one predictable direction but with many crazy twists in between.
Hope this film does well at the box office.
