Well, finally back from sickness and overwork. Sigh.
Anyway, to celebrate my return to regular posting, here’s a catchy little tune from the upcoming French animated movie, A Monster In Paris. Looking a bit like Disney’s recent Tangled, it’s a story of a cabaret singer, her mad scientist love interest, and, of course, a six-foot tall insect monstrosity who plays a mean guitar.
What’s great about this is the Lucille, the singer, is voiced by Mrs. Johnny Depp herself -Vanessa Paradis. Plus, the monster, Francoeur is voiced by Mathieu Chedid. Here’s the trailer:
The entire thing looks to be gorgeously animated and spectacularly voiced. Only the French can make an animated heroine as sexily cute as Lucille – the voice and the hips alone! Sacre bleu!
Anyway, it will come out this October, under the auspices of Luc Besson’s Europa films. Hopefully, the subtitles arrive soon afterward.
How did you figure out the name of the monster flea?
It’s in the credits.
