Critics Consensus

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.

Guardian

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.

Rated: 1/5

Behind The Lens

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.

The List

Strangely, for a feature animation aimed at a younger audience, Arthur and the Invisibles is most entertaining in its live-action sequences.

Rated: 3/5

WORLD

Unquestionably original, watching Arthur and the Invisibles frequently feels like sitting in on an elaborate video game.

Loved this movie when I was young, I just found the world and story so interesting and I always wished to live like them and switch between two worlds like them. 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

What a strange film. They talk so quickly that it is often hard to tell what they are saying. This becomes annoying at times and sometimes you give up. You get the core story without needing to know what they are saying all the time. The CGI animation sections are quite ugly. The real world looks nice though. There are some jokes that only adults would get and some may deem as inappropriate. There isn't a lot of comedy or action and there is one really long scene of exposition but otherwise ambles along talking fast. If it wasn't for the ride at Europa Park then I would have never heard of this film and maybe that is for the best. Shame that such an excellent ride didn't have a better film to accompany it. Certainly not the worst film and it has enough to get you to the end but not enough to make you want to see it again or watch any of the sequels.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
