Trivia
When Lucille tries to disguise Fracoeur's head with several hats and wigs in her dressing room, the one that looks like a Dracula hairdo resembles the hair style that -M- or Matthieu Chedid -the voice and singer for Francoeur- uses in his real on-stage persona.

Goofs
Although the story is set in 1910, the Mayor of Paris is featured. The office of Mayor of Paris was suppressed in 1871, after the 'Commune', and was not restored until 1977.

Quotes
Emile: Uh, Raoul, you didn't see something strange in there, did you?
Raoul: You mean besides a singing monkey, a fifty foot sunflower, and the vials of potions that almost killed us? No. You see anything strange?

Crazy credits
Character development sketches appear behind the initial end credits.

Quite an enjoyable movie

I was browsing through IMDb when I stumbled upon the reviews of this movie. As a matter of fact, 6 months ago, I saw the Dutch dubbed version with 3 kids (one 6y, 2 10y).

I have to say, everybody enjoyed it. The 6y old even asked me to buy it on DVD. I wonder if the person who gave this a "1" even bothered to look at the movie at all...

Because I like Paris, I enjoyed the little details the French animators put in it. It really captures the Parisian atmosphere. The animation is in the same league as Megamind, Despicable Me etc. It's not as good as the Pixar/Dreamworks movies, but it was still very well done.

Some jokes worked, others didn't, but all in all I found it well worth the money.
