Dan Brightmore Little White Lies 01/30/2012
3/5
Above all it's just plain fun, and the songs are catchy, too. Go to Full Review London Evening Standard 01/27/2012
Bibo Bergeron's charmingly animated but fiendishly plotted feature is up for an Oscar and just about deserves the compliment for originality, if not for its storyline. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 01/26/2012
3/5
The film has something of Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, and indeed King Kong, but has an eccentric style of its own: a decent children's film. Go to Full Review Joseph Walsh CineVue 08/24/2018
3/5
There are moments where the action drags, but ultimately, A Monster in Paris is worth seeing for the beautiful animation and songs alone. Go to Full Review Jo Berry The National (UAE) 11/21/2017
3/5
This is almost more for adults than children, who may not appreciate the richly coloured animation, the lovely period-style music or the gentle storyline that relies on warm humour rather than out-and-out laughs. Go to Full Review Yasmin Shehab Cairo360 09/28/2017
3.5/5
It's quaint, a little rustic but magical in its own way. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Noel L Aug 12 What a sweet romantic musical about how you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover (at least that what I thought the deeper message was) See more Avalynn J Jan 3 it was really good and i think every kid must see it See more Estuard F @Gio2099 01/26/2024 Quiero más de esta belleza parisina.

The voice cast was very good and the characters were relatable to both kids and adults . See more 12/05/2021 This story is a must for family movie night. The main theme, although conventional is portrayed uniquely. But the story itself is exceptional and the music is absolutely amazing. See more Read all reviews
