About this movie

Paris, 1910. Panic sweeps the city as floodwaters rise and a monster is on the loose!

Meanwhile a wacky inventor, his camera-crazy best friend, and a madcap monkey are on a mission to protect the beast, Franc, as he holds a rare and special talent. With the help of the beautiful but feisty singer Lucille, the team harbors the monster to keep him from the ghastly wannabe Mayor, Commissioner Maynott, who has a plan to capture Franc and reveal him to be nothing more than a monstrous danger to the people of Paris.

Ratings and reviews

Definitely worth a watch. I'd seen this movie floating around, and was immediately intrigued by it. I eventually saw one of the songs on YouTube, and I fell in love with it so much, I decided to finally watch it. And I was not disappointed. While this movie is nothing ground breaking or anything, It is enjoyable for what it is. The plot is simple, the animation is good, the characters (while not complex) are still likable, and the music goes from just okay to downright beautiful at times. Highly recommended for little kids with even some mild enjoyment for adults.

What a hidden gem this turned out to be! The story line is sweet and oh so cute but the sound track is FANTASTIC! The music sung by Vanessa and Sean are catchy, fun and marvelous. Song favorites are La Seine and I, Just a little kiss and Papa Paris, just to name a few. It is sad I can not locate the sound track in Google Play. A Monster in Paris is certainly worth watching!

I recommend this movie because wow. I am only 12, but mostly what I watch is documentaries or stuff about history, but this movie was great. Okay for all age groups, young and old. Oh dear, it says most helpful reviews are 100 words? Well, I'll write more. Also, I speak a little french, but listening to this movie in french was beautiful! And the songs were beautifully made too. Please watch this, the $7 is totally worth it! Excellent job Bibo Bergeron! Also, side note, you may be a little disappointed in the end, I know I was, but overall, the movie was terrific.
