From the creative mind of acclaimed and visionary director Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Leon, The Fifth Element, Angel-A), comes a brilliant live action computer-animated family adventure with an incredible voice cast that includes Freddie Highmore, Robert De Niro, Madonna, Snoop Dogg, David Bowie and Harvey Keitel! You will laugh, you will cry, and you will learn a special secret: magic can exist in the tiniest of places!

Arthur and the Invisibles, a dazzling visual masterpiece combining live action and groundbreaking CGI technology, is an enchanting and riotous fairytale that has delighted audiences young and old, and on 25 June 2007, with its release to DVD by Momentum Pictures, this miraculous film can be yours to enjoy again and again.

Freddie Highmore (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland) is ten-year old Arthur whose grandfather disappeared four years ago, leaving behind nothing but stories about an invisible people less than half an inch tall.  When Arthur discovers a hidden message he finds himself magically transformed into an Invisible, and given just 36 hours to recover a stolen treasure from the clutches of an evil wizard, win the heart of the princess, and somehow get back home again.  It seems like an impossible task, but as he discovers along the way, sometimes the littlest heroes can make the biggest difference.   

With a knockout cast of stars providing voices for the many colourful characters that Arthur meets along the way – including David Bowie as the evil wizard

Maltazard, and Madonna as the fiercely independent Princess Selenia – this is a treat for children of all ages. “A philosopher once said,” director Luc Besson muses, “that ‘child is the father of man’ – everything we know, we learn from our experiences as a child. So I think it’s only right to respect and cherish the child within us.”

Arthur and the Invisibles – for the child within us all, and every adventurer, great and small!
