A fast-paced run toward fame

The timeless tale of a great adventurer, out to save his family and home.

Lovely, but much too fast for my taste. I realize this was a movie for children, yet when you think about it, children's parents have to sit through the movie as well. The animation in this movie were wonderful, but the plot- the plot was enough to make my head pound.

Arthur, a lonely little 10 year old boy, sets out to save his family's home by traveling into the world of the Minimoys. Watching the movie, I found quite a few holes along the way.

1)Why was it that everything seemed so set up for Arthur, but none of it was discovered before? 2)Why wouldn't Beta inherit the throne instead of Arthur, in the event that Selenia couldn't fulfill her duties? 3)What was Selenia's goal in finding Malthazar? She made no move to defeat him, even at the most opportune moment.

4)Why is it that Arthur is the only English person in all of this? 5)What was up with that true love thing between Arthur and Selenia? They're ten years old, not twenty.

The scenery was beautiful, and the overall movie an enjoyable experience. It was just irritating in some aspects, like they'd created some new technology and had to put a story to it.

Something you should see, even if you are a stickler for detail.
