I love how you just straight up DO NOT explain why he’s being chased by the French Police because you honestly don’t need to when the one being chased looks like that
@Cupmation too many toes
@@rainbowdiamond9944 I’ve never seen this movie and never plan to, so this is just canon for me now
The french police will chase you for no reason tbh
@@calvinth2117 really? dang I thought that was an American thing only
@@bubblegumplastic Nah police is extremely violent, with teargas and other warcrime weapons since 2005 and has always murdered random people without accountability. And many of the violent police tactics you see in the US when they respond to riots were developped in France. Look up Sainte-Soline if you want a solid, recent example of what the french police looks like right now
for some reason him taking his glasses off when he hears a noise is the funniest thing ever to me
“Oop something went bump in the night. Lemme just flex that visual impairment real quick”
"If I can't see it it can't get me"
"I need to take my glasses off to hear better"
@@SpecialInterestShowLMAO 😭
As someone who wears glasses I can confirm that we do this as a defense mechanism when we sense danger nearby
Being French maybe I can bring some context to how Arthur and the Invisibles (and Luc Besson's work more generally) is perceived by my baguette loving peers. Despite the international bad reception, the first three installments of this saga were a massive hit in France when they came out. Almost every French kid who grew up in the 2000's liked them or at least knew about them (I personally always found them uncanny to watch but that's just my opinion).
You see, in France Luc Besson was always seen as "this French director who wants to make Hollywood movies", so when one of his movies came out in France during his prime years, it was a pretty big deal for the French public. People were curious to see that French cinema could be something other than brainy movies with complicated stories and little to no action (and what better way to do it than to copy and paste the basic Hollywood blockbuster formula into your movie, rather than trying to do something original amiright?)
All of this aside, if you're not aware, Besson is a disgusting person. He's known for having done very concerning things, including tricking minor women into having relationships with him (but that's a story that deserves a whole essay), and stealing ideas from other creators.
Because he has this huge place in the French cinema industry nonetheless, he founded his own cinema school (which thankfully closed a few years ago). The film "Arthur Malédiction" is the result of a contest that Besson organized for students in his school. The goal was for students to submit original ideas and pitches for a spin-off movie set in the Arthur and the Invisibles universe. They were promised money I think and an active role in the creative process of the movie, if their ideas were to win the contest. None of the students won, because Besson claimed that none of their ideas were what he was looking for. Turns out he stole major plot points from some student's ideas. None of them were rewarded, paid, nor credited.
So yeah, that was my little rant about the piece of garbage that is Luc Besson haha :')
Great video btw, I recently discovered your channel and I've been binging all your videos for a week now! Keep going I love your work!
Edit : Oh my bad you mentioned the "marrying a minor" situation at the very end oops 😖
Yeah same, I remember all the summers when they passed the movies on the TV and all the charms themed around the movies in the epiphany cakes
Really?? Jeez, thanks for letting us know, no idea D:
Here in Germany the movie was a big success as well. I mean we even have a Arthur inspired spinning dark ride at Europapark which is very popular till this days.
I was really surprised the movie was an international failure.
He directed The Fifth Element, right? I'm so sad to hear how disgusting he is, I absolutely LOVE that movie.
I don’t know if it was a hit here in Denmark as well (haven’t made any research😅), but I remember watching the saga when I was a kid, and I loved it (still does, because of the nostalgia) but hearing all of this about how disgusting he is, makes me sad, because the movies are great in my opinion.
Haven’t watched malediction and probably won’t, but the others are great movies👏🏻
"The unapologetic fetishization of female trauma" is actually the most accurate definition of Luc Besson's filmography I have ever heard. 💀
The person who plays his love interest is his daughter
@@DewDrops- W H A T
@@Wild_Child189 look it up, it’s true
@@Wild_Child189 IKKK 😭🤢
I think you didn’t mention it but the actress that play the love interest (the girl that I forget the name) is HIS DAUGHTER! So yeah that made everything WORST
WHAT
Oh god this just got so much worse
I'm beg your pardon?
Yeah this guy has major issues
OHH GYAHHH
THE FACT THAT HE IS A LITERAL PEDOPHILE WAS JUST CASUALLY THROWN IN AT THE END CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD 💀💀
A lot of French people already know it ( if you heard about his movie Léon/ The Professional, did you know he wanted to put a s*x scene between Nathalie Portman playing Mathilda, who was 12 at the time and Jean Réno who played Léon ? It only didn't happen because her parents said no and Jean Réno threatened to quit. Also the fact Selenia is probably a child like Arthur and oversexualized, or if she's an adult she's the pedophile as she's Arthur's love interest. She's 1000 years old but apparently in Minimoys years she's 10.) but for some reason he can do whatever the hell he wants, it's the country which protects Polanski and allowed Cuties to exist after all so it's not that surprising 😢. As a French I'm so ashamed of our justice system protecting pedophiles. I didn't know about his teenage wife but I knew he was a creep.
I discovered that in The Editing Room. Finding out he left his 19 year old first wife for then 21 year old Mila....Alice from Resident Evil actor. Well, first time to learn not all grown ups are good.
@@jujublue4426 Oh my God, that's horrible. Thanks for sharing the info though.
@@jujublue4426ugh, I have seen Th Professional, it's such an amazing film, but some of the scenes that even made it in the film can get a little questionable, and apparently America got an edited version. I know European countries love to rag on America for the puritan pearl-clutching we do over sex in media, but some Europeans are super into that Lolita life and it's weeeeiiiirddddd
You meant princess Selenia?
okay to be fair as an autistic teen surrounded by other autistic teens this is totally the kind of thing we would all genuinely do and get excited about.
Same
this explains things lols
Was about to comment this
Not autistic myself but same lol
Killing people?
I think part of the problem with this movie is that the director couldn’t decide if he wanted it to be a supernatural horror movie, or a slasher film
Tbh this was probably a shitpost transformed into a movie, only way the actors would do it
Yup, the hand thing in the hole, and the person peeking out the window it's like the director tried to stablish a supernatural thing, but then they changed their mind and made it a bunch of black men acting as criminals bc I guess that's what he thinks black people do
As ludicrous as the whole setup is, it's nice that his friend support his special interest. That's true friendship, right there.
tbh agreed, its kinda sweet
no uhh im autistic and i am 17, i really like a lot of "childish" things and am very passionate about. stuff like frozen (1 and 2) and my friends support my interests so deeply. my friend got me a frozen birthday card, my other friend got me a my little pont birthday card. i HATE this authur movie stuff but man... i cannot understand how friends being supportive and a guy being passionate about something is inherently "weird". like, my boyfriend who has adhd, LOVES dinosaurs to death. dragons too! and recently i showed my support for his interests by buying the first 6 books in a series he loves about dragons. i think this authur movie is weird as hell, but stand-alone the passionate behavior about something you love from childhood isnt weird to me. like i loved sailor moon as a kid, and i have posters now! (i know im over-explaining, i promise im not mad or whatever im just like hey man its not weird to love stuff and have your friends be supportive!!) to me the weirdst behavior in this movie is the fact nobody cares at all about anything but the movies, not even just... the main character. like everyone collectively doesnt care about ANYTHING.
same thoughts, like yes this is all crazy but there’s something genuinely endearing about a large, supportive group of friends coming together to make one of the member’s bdays super special
Honestly it screams autistic special interest. We can get quiet obsessed over shows we like and you are right it is kind of adorable how his friends support him.
That was one of the only good things about the movie and after watching it. I don't even think it was intentional. They probably just needed a reason why the main characteres go to the house and this was the first thing they came up with.
You suffered through an hour and 27 minutes of terrible writing and horrible voice over so I could enjoy 17 of the happiest minute I'll experience today. Thank you for your sacrifice ❤️
Turning lead into gold 🧪✨
You and many others. Multiply all of those people times 17 minutes and you will get way over an hour and 27 minutes
Fun Fact, the German dub had an equally star-filled voice acting ensemble, with the front guy from Tokio Hotel voicing the main character, which is the entire basis of the marketing in Germany.
The only reason I watched the original was for the German dub so I guess it worked
i thought it was a german movie 😂
His name is bill kaulitz
Yeah bill kaulitz and nena
I feel like a lot of my favorite movies of my childhood turn out to be either miserably made or actually have a super wierd plot and little me was too forgiving and just accepted it and loved it.😅
9:02 as someone who has been camping with friends using multiple tents, you can hear everything. Literally everything. Anyone not blasting music though headphones would be able to hear them
Damn
Tenting at Wild West Reeactments, i can confirm!
What about bugs and stuff? Do they ever get in the tent? And can you feel little critters underneath the tent crawling while laying down? Pls tell me, I’ve been so curious for one whole year now
With that group of like...a dozen full grown adults, they could have easily all worked together to move that tree enough to drive through
Exactly!
Nah. Tree to dense.
А... чому твоя аватарка - це знак радянського союза на фоні флага УПА?...
You want to make this worse? He only married his young wife because she was pregnant at 16 and he claimed that their relationship inspired Besson's film Léon (1994), where the plot involved the emotional relationship between an adult man and a 12-year-old girl.
And it was only a very off putting emotional relationship because the male lead was like no I'm not doing romance scenes with a child. OG script was super gross
HUH?
@@orchidscott2892 it's a romance between an adult man and a prepubescent girl. In the actual film, you could read it as a girl having a crush on a man since he never acts on it but the vibes are rancid and quite frankly its seems like the male lead wants to act on it but is just reticent. In the orginal script however he atleast does kiss her from what I can remember and its straight up a romance. I violently hate both the movie and besson
Brooo what the fuck ewwwww@@morgank.6113
What on earth??
I have a very hard time believing there was enough Arthur and the Invisibles merchandise that his friends would be able to keep finding new gifts for him every birthday.
That was my first thought 😂
Yeah… we didn’t get very much.
As someone who was obessed with fairies as a kid (which then evolved into a hyperfixaion on fey and supernatural creatures) artur was two of my favorite movies! I never saw the last moive, nor did I read the book but those movies and its aesthetic just Did Something for my brain. That scene in the first movie where they sleep in a flower was wish fullfilment to the max for me.
Other movies I was obsessed with was the tinkerbell/disneys fairies (though I rarely read the comics and never got my hands on any of the books...) As well as the barbie movies about fairies and mermaids.
Man, I used to watch so many girly things (which sometimes included fairies) when I was a boy. All the Barbie movies, Mia & Me (remember that series? the one with bad CGI?), Winx (tho this one could arguably be unisex), that one series about dogs I can't remember the name of... yeah, I had weird phase as a kid.
Very much same for me, plus H2O: Just Add Water. I also had multiple mythology books on mythical creatures.
Tbh Barbie Fairytopia and Mermaidia movies were top tier
I absolutely loved arthur and the minimois and I would've sold my own brother to get into that creepy as hell world as a cute little elf thing
You and the protagonist of the horror spinoff have a lot in common then 😂
Uh YES. I had a crush on the main villain 🥴
(I would like to apologize for my younger self's taste)
I would sell both of my brothers, my lungs, my soul, my kidneys, my heart, my veins, my arteries, my limbs, my parents, my best friends, my whole god damn life.
Just to be there.

@@Name-yv2zq no he was voiced by David Bowie so it’s okay
I'm utterly amazed, there are so many ways a horror adaptation could've gone and... They go with teenage hadcore larpers???? Whut
Yeah, like I guess you could do something interesting with that concept as sort of a version of the crazed fan trope but it’s fictional characters the people are obsessed with and maybe even believe they actually are to make them seem that much more deranged but this is….. not it…….
I think it would have been better, if they brought the fictional characters into reality. I wouldn't even minded if they gave a really shitty explanation of why they are in our reality and try to kill people. Maybe even try to make everything somewhat canon. The movie still would be trash, but at least it would be fun, which this movie certainly is not.
What is a larper exactly? And a hardcore one at that.

I am howling with laughter. This film is a tapestry of WTF moments and your commentary is perfect.
4:06 Wdym ''Even the french hate it ?'' In France it's like a tradition to hate every movie we produce
En même temps c'est souvent de la merde bien française
Yeahhhh 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🎉
Even Miraculous Ladybug which is widely popular?
@@elizabethsharp9556 From what i have heared, the series is loved, but the movie got quite the bad critics
@@elizabethsharp9556 not for us
If you want a fun fact only french people care about, at the begining Luc Besson wanted to make this horror movie because the house where the firsts movies were shoot still exists, it's in France and it's on one of Luc Besson propriety and a lot of teenagers who thought the house was abandonned would go there (like in the horror movie) so this movie was to discourage people to go to the house 🥴 And honestly, the english dub is almost good compare to the original french acting 😂 trust me !
Why not just level the house instead of spend all that time and money making this crock?
@@Amazingtacomaniac maybe he got attached to it
Mais tu as entendu l'histoire derrière ce film ? L'exploitation des étudiants de l'école de cinéma de Besson à Lyon etc? C'est chaud vraiment. Un gros taré Besson, quand il s'est marié à Maïwenn elle avait 16 ans et lui 32 quand même, un an après leur rencontre, c'est un putain de pointeur mais tout le monde s'en fou et c'est légal
For non-french people : I was saying that Besson exploited students from his school for free in order to make this whole movie. Plus, he married a well known actrice/director call Maïwenn when he had 32 ans she was 16, a year after they meet each other
@@LilStrangeSquirrel I can understand very little of this comment, but the little I can understand is horrifying
@@nyxie2877 French film student here. Besson is very well known to be a sexual predator and most probably started his relationship with actress and director Maïwenn when she was underage.
Now about the student exploitation and horrible filming conditions of this project. I don't personally know the students who were involved in it, but here's what is known, basically :
-Besson exploited them and didn't respect work regulations (standards of pay etc.)
-The script was supposed to be written by the students of his school (L'École de la Cité, now closed down because no one wanted to finance it after Besson's scandals). Besson didn't like any of the scripts, wrote his own and hired the students as script doctors instead. He barely listened to them.
-On set, almost all technical roles were filled by the students, who had NO prior experience, just to save money. Half way through the shoot, everyone switched roles (e.g. a sound person suddenly started working as assistant director). I can't stress how unbelievably stupid this decision is.
-No respect of Covid precautions.
-No use of stunt performers or even protections to prevent injuries on set
The whole project was an absolute shitshow.
BEST. MOVIE. EVER. unironically based all my childhood personality on that alone
Same
Lmao same fr
I seriously went around in suit and tie my senior year of high school because I started watching Dr Who.
@@dungeonmama1590 honestly would've done the same dr who is so good

If you watch the French version of Arthur and the Invisibles it gives the same vibes of this horror movie
Lots of cut scenes, plenty of wildly inappropriate jokes and you're left with the same question if you've seen all three movies:
Why?

I have never seen a more literal example of Chekhov's Gun in any movie

"Oh what is that sound? Here, let me take my glasses off, they're annoying"
"Oh wait right I cant see"
I think i never have hated a movie so much. There is literally too many examples of Why its a bad movie. I could talk all day😭
That’s for all movies, objectively. You’re not going to find a perfect movie every movie has flaws. This one doesn’t have more than others(Aside from its horrible creator, he shouldn’t be walking around free.)
“performing a colonoscopy on the mystery hole!” fucking killed me 😭
The Stardew Valley sound effects at 0:58 sent me. It was subtle, but what you did to Jimmy Fallen there was pure genius and you need to be recognized for it. lol
bowie is like an iridium bar
fallon is like. 20 coal
@Only-Callie where did you find the iridium ore at?? I can’t find any
@Only-Callie ah of course it’s in skull cavern, those flying snakes are the bane of my existence
As a high schooler working on a film, I can confidently say that even though I’d have no budget, and my special effects and actors AND writing would be worse, I’d still be able to MAKE A BETTER MOVIE THAN THIS 😭
Bruh it’s not a movie it’s literally just a shitpost made by someone who has dedicated their life into being a shitpost
honestly its nice that even though the main character is a freak for arthur all his friends support him and enable his addiction
I watched the movie as a kid and it traumatized me so much. That scene where Arthur shrinks down through that telescope really freaked me out. Mr director did not need to make a horror spinoff when the first one is already creepy enough
Same man. I watched the scene and I remember feeling absolutely terrified listening to Arthur's screams. I just paused the movie there and never watched it again
OH MY GOD YES I remember being scared of the telescope as a kid and thinking it was just so gross lol
one of the very few scenes in movies that seriously freaked me out as a kid lol
That scared you??
@@internetclown904 that scene in Charlie and the chocolate factory where the boy gets sucked up into a tube scared me too. I think it's just a thing about getting stuck in tiny places
As a french, most of us do not claim Luc Besson
He has a tendency of making absolute cringe with a ridiculously high budget and all-star casts and has a George Lucas effect (i.e. people who work with him tend to just do as he says without questioning too much, even when it is peak cringe)
Plus... yeah, what you said at the end about his marriage
His very existence is a reason why reality is probably a simulation, his life story is on the edge of being a shitpost
I absolutely loved this movie, but when i rewatched it i was not met with the same joy i was once filled with, instead it was pure FEAR. the character designs are just terrifying
Honestly I loved 3 Arthur movies as a kid. I rewatched them so much 😊
I had no idea there was a weird horror spinoff.
Well it was made in 2022 (which was almost 2 years ago... time sure flies fast, eh?).
for a long time i thought it was just a dream i had as a child because i couldnt find it on netflix anymore it was freaking amazing 😭
also in one of the movies Pokerface played in the credits and ive never heard it before and didnt know it was an actual song so i listened to the credits over and over
When I was little I was so sure that the Arthur movies were a nightmare I had
I would let you borrow my dvd trilogy copy with all 3 movies, but im greedy and selfish when it comes to giving people my stuff, so I hope you can find it someday.
😂😂 I love that you thought pokerface was just for the movie.

I'm binging your content in order to hide away from reality ..so I loved Arthur..but I have this specific memory of the scene where he's being tied up for the ritual and they're pulling at him and he's screaming his lungs out in agony while a bunch of adult men chanted in unison continuing the torture of this young child, only for him to be reduced to a golden goop to get into that hole and become the elf..and that gave me so many nightmares, I actively tried to block out that scene by just looking at the elf parts so my love for fae and elven folks and just whimsical things wouldn't die with the rest of my childhood innocence. I'm also South African ..and Jesus Christ the depiction of African tribes 😭😭 it's also 2:38am rn and I am reliving the very same nightmare fuel. 😭Anyways, hahaha✨❤️🔥🌈 I love your content and I'm glad I subscribed.🥀🎉
So I decided to look Besson up after you mentioned his dubious past and HOLY SH1T?! 0_o
My friends and I went to see it at the theater when it came out we were literally the only ones in the room, no one else was there which never happened in the 20+ years I've been there, we spent the entire time making fun of it and making up various headcanons for the characters, it was quite honestly one of the best times I ever had watching a movie for all the wrong reasons
Watching seriously crappy movies with a group of the people you care about and have fun with is really one of the best things ever.
I suggest watching Llamageddon! It’s a horror movie about llamas and it is perfect to make fun of
12:30 the cut to black at the end of that scene was like in shows where they pause for the audience to laugh, but instead it paused for the audience to sigh wearily
i had all three movies on my play station portable, i would OBSESSIVELY watch the movie over and over and over again so many times
I genuinely screamed aloud "Wait what?" 1:50 As i was not expecting that turn into absurdity.
“married a 15 year old when he was in HIS 30s!!!!” I don’t know why but that delivery was great

@@catromero2247who is?
I was listening to this while doing other things and was legitimately caught off guard by the "101 Irish Wolfhounds" joke. I grew up with wolfhounds so when I rewinded the video and saw there actually were wolfhounds I got a little excited. 10/10 movie. Haven't actually seen it.
It was also my favorite growing up!!!
I love Arthur and the invisibles , hunny I shrunk the kids, astro boy, and James and the giant peach!
As a French I thank you for your sacrifice. (Also, bloody hell, Luc Besson writing a teenager talking about her growing body is so SO disturbing, even though at this point this is on character for him)
That’s his daughter!
The fact that I've seen the first film so many times throughout my life but never knew until watching this video that there were more is kinda baffling
oh my god sameeee
Dude I saw all 3 of them and didn't know about it. I am litterally French how the hell did I not know something-
That’s what I’m thinking, my childhood consisted of that movie tbh.
the fact that david bowie voices in it automatically makes it the best movie ever so who cares about bad reviews!!!!
incredibly real
11:34 maybe ketamine? It’s a horse tranquilizer, Maybe Sam could be a vet and have readily access to it. Or Sam could do drugs I dunno just saying
I was a huge Tokio Hotel fan as a kid. So when this movie was released in Germany and Bill Kaulitz was the voice actor of the main character, it was a must watch for me. Amazing that nearly 20 years later that’s the only thing I remember about this movie.
HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THE HORROR VERSION OF THIS??? YOU'RE BLOWING MY MIND

@@miku-miku i cant even rank it as one of my favorite bad things, unless its to hate on it lol its second nature to me, but i can definitely see it being a good bad movie to watch lol

@@RoseJ763
Ben c'est vrai, pour les années 2000 on a pas tant de films qui sont bons et racontes une bonne histoire, le mieux que l'on fasse c'est des "comédie" et c'est vraiment que des blagues sur les couilles et les bites.
That's not true. Martyrs is one of the best horror films I have ever seen and it is from French. So I think not everything is bad I guess
A moment of silence for Momo and Palu. Hope they find better friends
I was a whole sentient teenager when this came out, and whenever I bring it up no one remembers it except me. Im so glad to see someone else recalls this film
6 minutes in and i'm headcanoning the main guy as autistic with the arthur series as his special interest!! it makes me happy to see him having such supportive friends:) i sure hope nothing bad happens to them!
edit: oh
Unfortunately, only main character (Alex) and his 2 friends Jean and Samantha survived. Reneta, Mathilde, Douglas, Dominique and Maxime didn't made it
Yeah the friendship at the beginning is sadly one of the only good parts of the movie and after watching it I don't even think it was intentional.
I mean, as an autistic person... why would you want to do that to this garbage character?
please we don’t want him /hj
As somone who is also autistic and has had a past of hyperfixating on very niche cringey things, I second this headcanon! Even if this movie is the worst™ I support the main guy's special interest!
9:48 he would have used the original gnome, but remember he left it in that random house after filming the previous film
10:02
Omg Arthur and the invisible brings back memories, It was one of my favorites, i Remember my grandpa went out and bought it for my family to watch together which was pretty wholesome considering he is a Grumpy old man, Good times
I used to have this DVD, and for years and years I thought this was a fever dream, I never realized that other people knew about it.
This franchise haunts me. I haven't actually watched any of the films since I was, at oldest, 7 years old and I don't remember anything about them apart from some character designs and a scene with a giant ant. I haven't heard what's been up with it for years, but it still kept popping up. One example is the children's area in this one pizzeria in my hometown that has pictures of the characters there for some reason unknown to me. I was curious when looking into this (really well done) video, but NOTHING could have prepared me for any of this. The Arthur lore runs deeper than I ever expected. I am afraid.
The fact that an Arthur movie with horror elements could have so many potentials to be really good 😮💨 I was obsessed with the trilogy as a child (I had a fat crush on Freddie Highmore lmao) so the fact that this exists is driving me crazy. It sounds crazy. It sounds completely unreal. I feel like watching this will completely destroy last pieces that made the og films good; and that's hanging by a thread lol
To be completely honest, I thought this entire movie was a fever dream I have when I was seven, I never heard anyone talk about it, and it was just so strange, that I thought my fucked up little seven year old mind thought it up when I was sick.
12:33 the just silence😭
5:46 that scream is visceral
As someone who lives in the french speaking part of the very little country next to France and has to suffer every year through lots of very bad French trailers by very weirdass productors, you have no idea how happy I am to know that sometimes, people from all over the Ocean have to suffer through it as well. Thank you ♡
Heyy do you happen to live in the french speaking part of Switzerland? Because I do too, and god I really related to this comment 😂
Omg arthur was also one of my absolute favorites to watch as a tween. I didnt think much as i listened to this video, until you said minimois and that just spiraled my brain into long forgotten childhood memories.
I had no idea there were other movies. Child me would've loved watching the spinoffs (excluding the horror movie). Adult me might even like them, too. I love mini worlds and the idea of being able to live in them, and I'm pretty sure it came from watching Arthur and the Invisibles, as well as Smurfs and a couple other shows and csrtoons I watched but can't fully remember. I loved the idea of becoming a Minimoy, but I wasn't good enough at making up stories for me to insert myself into at the time that my brain lost interest in it after a while.
I SWEAR DID YOU KNOW I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY OR SUM YOUR VIDS ARE SO FUNNY AND ALWAYS CHEER MY UP ❤❤❤
How bad was the group chat drama that they all didn’t care about all the deaths 😟
never seen another person let alone my fav commentary youtuber that also lived for this as a child. it was my favorite, I watched it like a week ago
Arthur and the invisibles was my favourite movie as a kid and I’m very happy that I’ve never seen this horror version 🤣 thanks for watching it for us
this movie traumatized me as a kid I literally had nightmares about it
same ngl, pretty sure i hid this dvd so my siblings couldn't watch it lol
I couldn't watch the scene where they literally squeezed him by ropes
The only thing I remember about it was him yeeting himself into a pipe and going in and out of the elf universe (and I’m kinda glad about it)
I loved the original movie as a child and completely forgot about it, omg. It is so much worse than I could have even imagined, back then.
I really hope you eventually make a reaction video about strange magic, lucasfilms attempt at star wars for girls. It bombed horrendously but it's honestly one of my favorite comfort movies
I lovedddd this movie omg and the animation always felt so special. I never knew if had such a star studded cast lol. I must rewatch this as an adult

For social reasons I'm going to disagree with you

I remember that me and my brother really liked this series. It’s said that these movies weren’t a big success internationally but they were fairly successful in Germany at least. Admittedly the “Ma ma ma ma Maltasar” covet of that Lady Gaga song that they used in the third movies credits still occasionally pops into my head.
Also fun side tangent: I did a French exchange program in school and when it was our turn to visit one of the scheduled activities was visiting some kind of Universal Studio knock off and they had one of those 3D rides of Arthur and the Minimois (you sit in a thing that moves in front of a screen like the star wars ride in Disney land). Actually quite enjoyable
This movie was a hit here in Denmark. Everyone knows the movie and has seen it. It's a cultural meme here
I really like this style of content you are making , your humor from your tiktok videdos and the you flow through each and every single sentense and or word is just brilliant I have binch watched all the commenty esc ones and I will probs do the same with the gaming ones while drawing lol
Finally someone is talking about this fever dream of a trilogy a loved these movies as a kid and nostalgia hits hard....but man the CGI didn't age well
This movie was my favorite. When I was a child I watched that one movie about Second War, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas or something like that, and I WAS SO TRAUMATIZED and afraid of war, the only thing that made me less anxious was Arthur
I love your videos, but this one made me laugh out loud so many times. I love your commentary and the way you placed the movie scenes was so hilarious
It was one of the few movies of my childhood that I actually remembered. And the "unique" art style was a part of it (I actually like how it looked).
I can't believe this exists. It all sounds like a bad Lost Episode creepypasta except this is all real! All by the original creator nonetheless. Thank you for doing your service FFB
01:03 you forgot that isn't a profit. marketing budget isn't included in that stat and easy math is roughly the production budget so it lost money
I watched this film with my friends on New Year's Eve as a joke. It was pretty terrible, however, I gotta admit, Mathilde's death scene really did creep me out and made my stomach turn. I don't know what it was about it that made me feel this way, but, it just did.
17:27 what a way to end the video with one of the popular songs for animation memes
“Why does this movie exist?” Well, when a mummy movie and daddy movie get together and they like each other a lot…
We all have that one awful movie we loved as kids. I can't shit on anyone seeing how one of my favorite movies as a child was Baby Geniuses, a movie rated as one of the worst movies ever made.
It was my fav movie, I also watched this horror one and at the end i was like "what did yall do to my childhood.."
They did worse then JK Rowling tbh
14:39 was just 😩

The Arthur series is popular in France, they have rides at theme parks .. .
10:22 when people who don't understand why people wear glasses makes a movie, you get scenes like this. "Lemme take off my glasses as a stranger approaches me in a freaky forest" is something that would never go through our mind 😂
16:33 Shit, I was playing Minecraft/in the nether when that pig sound played, and it almost made me jump into the lava. 😂😂
Literally this was me and sisters favorite movie. Shrek,robots,shark tales and then Arthur 🤌🏻 I loved the art style SO much it was so funny and cool. Especially the dance scene on the vinyl haha
But I’m scared that there was another movie … this one …this is traumatizing
