Customer Review: Arthur & The Invisibles
Dear Amazon: “Arthur & The Invisibles”; was a very family oriented movie. It has wonderful special effects and a very nice story. The mixture of live actors and cartoon characters was a very unique treat and made the story more enjoyable. It is so nice to find family movies that are pure entertainment without all the violence & sex that appears on almost all of the entertainment mediums these days. Mario Concord, CA.
Customer Review: CG Animated Film from the Director of “The Fifth Element”: Visually Attractive But the Story Is Not
Yes, I admit it. “Arthur and the Invisibles” (”Arthur et les Minimoys”), Luc Besson’s first animated film, is far from perfect. Its weak story borrows bits of elements from various fairy tales and legends and its combination of live-action footage with animation does not work as it should be. Still few animated films can attract such talent as Madonna, David Bowie, Snoop Dogg and Robert DeNiro (all providing voices for characters) plus Mia Farrow. And its colorful animation is delight to see. Freddie Highmore (”Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) is Arthur, young brave boy who has only 48 hours to save his grandma’s house from being sold to a greedy businessman and demolished. To seek the treasure hidden in the garden, he becomes small (using some device that need no explanation), as small as 2mm, and join forces with the Minimoys, tiny people threatened by evil “M.” Thus Arthur’s adventures with two Minimoys - independent Princess Selenia and fast-talking comic relief Betameche - begins. You will find nothing particularly new in this story. The film’s a bit contrived plot unfolds sometimes at hectic speed especially in animation part, which is often interrupted by live-action counterpart. Mia Farrow (who appears only in live-action segment) is not bad as the hero’s slightly loopy grandmother, but her segment is rather dull to me mainly because the film comes back to her several times when not many things happen to her except, as you see, her missing grandson whom we know is all right. I said this is Luc Besson film, but the film’s original concept came from C?line Garcia and Patrice Garcia. It must have taken considerable time and efforts for them and Besson to develop the idea into the film’s universe as it is, but I think with a simpler story and more round characters the world of the Minimoys would be more attractive. In short, we don’t need “Pulp Fiction” parody. “Antz” already did it. We don’t need a greedy businessman. Anyway kids love adventures and without that guy boys and girls would join in the travel with the Minimoys. Instead we want more engaging stories behind the relations between the Princess and the Evil King; we need more adventures before arriving the destination; and most of all, we want to know more about the suggested love (with some sexual nuance) between Arthur and Princess, which is one of the most intriguing part of the film, considering the cast of Freddie Highmore and Madonna. This alone could have given originality with a more developed and attractive form. I hear this is the first chapter of trilogy. I find “Arthur and the Invisibles” is surprisingly good despite negative reviews given to it, but I really wish that they give us a better story next time.

Customer Review: Matal detector
My son was thrilled with this! It is a perfect size for an 8 yr old, and easy to use. Can’t wait to take it to the beach!
Customer Review: Excellent kids detector!
This detector is excellent for kids, The size is just right and it introduces them into the world of detecting. The detector is of good solid quality and is a little version of an entry level adult model. You do have to explain to them how to use the discrimination controls because they are kind of confusing for a kid but they pick it up quick. The detector has actually found old cans and coins that have been about 5 feet underground so it searches pretty deep. I recommend this product!
