There was an extra long R, I feel like we’ve been given a treat.

"A monster in Paris"? You mean the best movie from my childhood?

This movie is extremely underrated, when I was a child I practically fell in love with Francœr in his suit and mask and would draw pages after pages of him singing. The songs are very lovely also, along with the craaaaaazy plot line.

Fun fact Lucille’s voice actress is the same for both her native french version and the english version as she has a good grasp of english and she sings the songs as well herself in both english and french.

Raol: Listen honey- 😏 Lucille: Don't you ' honey ' me!😠 Raol: Listen honey 😒 Lucille: Mgh..! 😠😤 I loved that part too

Wait so the movie is about a singer and a musically talented sentient being who hides from society by wearing a mask and the singer has a love interest named Raul? And they’re in Paris? THIS IS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Francœur is actually a very cute name. (cœur means heart) (and I just looked up the street. It is named after a mathematician)

"Francœur" means honest (franc) and heart (cœur) so having a honest heart :> I absolutely loved this movie, and especially "la Seine et moi" as a kid. -M- (Francœur's singer) has a magical voice, and is one of my favourite French singers! He's well known for his high notes, his Wolverine-like hair, and havinga family steeped in the arts; his daughter, Billie, is a singer like himself, and his grandmother, Andrée Chedid, was a well known poet and novelist. Vanessa Paradis, Lucille's voice actress, is also a well known singer and I believe used to be with Johnny Depp. If there's one thing I personally dislike, it's that I just think the animation hasn't aged suuuper well-but obviously they couldn't really help it at the time :')

this movie was probably my favorite animated movie. the characters are wonderful and im so glad they didn't make the "monster" and the lady fall in love since the bee movie traumatized me on a subconscious level. the end game romance felt natural and it was funny to see them bicker and goofing off.

I haven’t watched this move in years- I need to watch it again sometime soon.

I love how the dub is done, it doesn't feel weird or out of place and matches well with the characters actions and expressions

5:31 I've always thought this part meant that there was more humanity in a non-human than the actual human. Also when you said how was he so musically adept when he was a flea before, I think it's because of the 2 chemicals that splashed on him. If I remember correctly one chemical made something gigantic and the other made the one affected sing. Like when the monkey started singing opera with no prior training, I assume.

Thumbnail, “Another Bee Movie.” Me: There is no logical way that a fly should be able to sing. It’s lungs are far too small to form meaningful words, and no one could hear it in a large enough room. This fly in Paris of course, sings anyway, because flies don’t care about what silly humans think to be impossible…

When I was young, I watched this movie by myself, and I remember crying not from the death of the flea but because Lucille stole Raoul’s toy in the flashback. I don’t know why but all I know is that I remember rushing to my parents with tears running down my face.

As a Parisian, this movie is just amazing. I live in an area that was greatly hit by the flood and there are a lot of plaques in memory of the event, so when I first saw this movie as a kid I was practically jumping around in hapiness!! Like : "hey I know about that!! It's my city!!"

French person who watched the movie as a kid too here Fun fact: in that scene where Lucile give Francoeur a fancy outfit, she put a M shaped wig on him before finding the cool hat. This M wig is part of the iconic look of a french singer named "M" who also voices Francoeur when he sings.

I loved this movie because the French singer for Francoeur is Matthieu Chedid, my parents and I really enjoy this singer, so it was a great moment. As a french person, I can tell you: You got the song clearly. It has been a long time since I watched it, but I can remember that they give also this important aspect of the Seine, because it's a really important and iconic river of France, not only in Paris. The guitar, it’s a reference to Matthieu Chedid, because he is an amazing player, and his house is full of his guitar’s collection. Also the fact that she has an angel costume and the French singer’s name is Vanessa Paradis(=heaven), I like it.

It's always the movies with the weirdest concepts that turn out to be so good 😩

The humanity quote reminded me of Frankenstein. How the creation was more human than his own creator. It ties in so well with the song Monster in Paris, look up the lyrics. If you've ever been an outcast the song will hit home for you.

Definitely an underrated movie. This movie was such a jewel in 2011. I can't tell you how much I love all the songs and voice actors in this movie. The plot could have been a little better, sure, but it was such a great movie. I would recommend this movie to so many people.

My former best friend introduced me to this movie. We don't talk anymore but I still love this movie so much.

10:48 One short thing I noticed when watching the movie for the first time, years ago: This character's name is "Commissioner Maynott," but he's running for office and later in the film, he becomes the mayor. Yeah. "Mayor Maynott," as in "may, or may not," meaning somebody wishy-washy. His new title is only said out loud once, by Emile, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it remark to Lucille.

The fact that Sean Lennon sounds just like his father 🥺 when I first heard Francoeur sing I was like “..who does he sound like..he sounds so familiar.” And when the movie finished I looked up the cast (as I always do) and I see SEAN FREAKING LENNON 😩😩 overall they just did a wonderful job on casting and the story. (I watched the English dub)

It's so weird other people were also obsessed with this movie as a kid. I loved this so much, it was such a cute movie.

You say Francoeur can't speak, but that makes him singing perfectly even stranger >< Love this movie and was drawn to this review because of it I'm gonna check out some more of your videos because it was great and I'm a fellow animation lover!

I appreciated when you pointed out Lucille and Raoul's bickering and how comfortable they are with each other; gosh, I love those two. Prolly my first pairings. And your version of the scene where Emile taunted Raoul he's in love with Lucille and Emile being the wingman is major top tier.

I AM A SIMP FOR THE FLEA AND I AM FINE WITH IT

Okay.......that alternate storyboard you did was way too frigging adorable, I couldn't. (also, great review. I literally just found this found this channel today. Nice to see someone review this underrated movie >w

My french teacher made us watch this movie in french a couple times when we’d have chill lessons (near Christmas and the end of the year and such) but I never had much of clue what was going on lol. I’ve thought of it a few times since and I would love to watch in English to fully understand what it’s about. I used to love the song where they’re in the theatre place

I just remembered this movie existed! I watched this movie years ago and it was pretty good! I actually am absolutely terrified of bugs so at first, I thought the flea character would creep me out. He didn’t though! Which is great! I had a thing where whenever Beetle from Kubo and the Two Strings would like..crawl I guess? I would be super creeped out. That didn’t happen with the flea character. (I mean, I don’t remember him doing anything bug-like? So I think that’s why I wasn’t as scared, and the design didn’t look that much like a bug/flea but I could still tell he was a flea so that was nice!) But ye. Thanks, Ros Mo, for reminding me of this lil gem from my childhood.

I LOVE this movie SO MUCH. It feels like a fever dream sometimes but ITS AMAZING. The og French version is beautiful hearing them talk and sing So in the French verison luciel uses la seine to refer to the river and Francoer uses la scene to refer to the stage

I’m sorry BUT I’m simping for the damn bug 😫😫😫

Thank god this movie is not like Barry and his weird love for Vanessa. It has pretty animation, catchy songs, likable characters and an entertaining villain. I like it :D Charles the monkey is a great side-kick, he's funny and Raoul too; love thoses two! Emile is brave and so adorable X3 My favorite character!

Have I seen this before? No, I have not, but right off the bat, I really like the fact that it’s not set in New York or even in the US for the bajillionth time, and the monster design looks so aesthetically pleasing, especially to someone like me who geeks out about cool designs.

This movie was literally one of my favorites growing up. Thank you for doing an amazing video on it

This movie is so underrated. I absolutely loved it as a teen when it came out. I still have La Seine in my playlist for a good time since it just takes me back. :D It's alwas worth a watch, even after all this time. It's a true jewel in the animation scene- : )

I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE. I love how you cover all the underrated movies c:

Since you focused mainly on the English cast you probably didn't know or catch a funny hidden moment in the film. Matthieu Chedid (stage name-M-) is the French singing voice of Francœur. During the scene where Lucille gives him these wigs to wear one of them is -M-'s iconic black hair. (Just a random fun fact that made me laugh when I first saw the film)

The reason franceour has a beautiful singing voice is due to the two mixtures that got smahed together when he was mutated one of them was the mixture Charles got sprayed into his mouth for the beautiful singing voice which explains why franceour has the good singing voice and probably the knowledge of playing the guitar

This is still one of my absolute favorite movies!! It’s just ugh...so good

"Ever HEARD of Monster in Paris?" YESYEYSYEYSYYEYSYYESYYYESY inhale YESSS god i fuckin love this film

This movie was art, and one of my favorite movies! Lucille and Franceur singing was the best, his voice was just great. Everything was done right, and loved it!!! 10/10, no matter what. But it made me when a literal flea is more kind than one of the people supposed to protect Paris. Did I mention, THE SONGS ARE FIRE?!

I just bought this movie Recently mostly because My Little Sister destroyed the last copy. But when I rewatched it so many years later. I decided to search up who plays Francœur. And he is voiced by Sean Lennon. Who's Dad is John Lennon. Who was in the Beatles.

One of my childhood classics. Watched so many time with my brothers. Finally showed my girlfriend it 2 days ago and I was so happy to see it again. It's cute, simple, and doesn't try to be something it's not. Just a fun project by fun people.

It’s a timeless classic tbh.

i remember watching this movie as a kid and being so in love with Francœur because of the la seine song !! i listened to it on repeat, tried to sing it too, even if i don't speak a speck of french

As a French guy, I can say, you got the point of the French version of the song. Fun fact: when Francoeur says "vacille" in the French version, it even says so with a Parisian accent. How did I notice it? My music teacher made us learn and sing that song where I was 12 or 13, somewhere around these parts.

i love this movie. none never hear of this movie and im gland that you bring this movie up. thx

0:30 when I first watched the film, I was mesmerized by the voice. It was exactly like what I thought a flee would sounds like if they can sing and have a pretty voice 😂 Sean Lennon really is a blessing

It wasn't too long ago that I first heard about this movie. I was thinking if I should be watching it. And now, you made this video. I probably should watch it for real

10:44 Little French fun fact: one of the wigs she puts on him is the actual haircut of the singer who played francœur in the French version, the singer is M. Its a cute little touch that I loved as a kid

The memories are flooding back, I remember watching this when I was like 5, I fell in love with this movie but when my brain decided to remind me about it years later I forgot the name until now.

What I love about this movie is that I think the trailer or La Seine got many people interested. I remember watching a trailer of this and be like: “I wanna see!” And boy does it change me! Also Francœur is one of my childhood crushes heheeh

I LOVED this movie when I was younger. I’d replay it all the time and dance and sing to the songs. I'm happy that it's getting more attention!

Even though hearing the plot out loud sounds weird, it's actually a pretty good movie. It definitely thought outside the box and the music is amazing for a movie like this.

I really liked the english dub(I didn't realize it wasn't originally english at the time) and it sent me into a brief rabbit hole about the Lennon family. I still feel bad for Julian, and both he and Sean sounded great in their works.

Ahhh!! I remember watching this SUCH a long time ago!!!! Imma go re-watch this right now! This little re-cap was really fun!! As always i really like hearing your opinion! Have good day/night 😊

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!! I love the music, I love the story, I love the characters. I’ve been in love with it for YEARS! I still listen to the song Franceur (?) and Lucille perform together actively to this day. It’s such a gem to me and it’s a film I think about often.

I watched this movie like a billion years ago with my cousins at their house, they've moved away now and watching it again and seeing this video it was just super nostalgic-

FINALLY MONSTER IN PARIS GETS THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES

This video just brought back so many memories of renting this DVD from the library and re watching it to the max.

YES! Finally someone talked about this movie! Cause I was so confused how this movie was not more popular as I've genuinally enjoyed the whole pace of the movie and the characters, and romance here did not feel forced!

words cant even express how much i loved this movie as a kid La Seine was my jam growing up and i would play it all the time

I saw this movie when I was 10 I loved it. Seriously. It's crually underrated . I was so excited to see a movie that took place in my country,France!

I’m so glad people are talking about this film more :)

I loved this movie sooo much I am sooo glad you got to see it ☺️☺️ I am so glad you enjoyed it as well 😊

This is one of my favourite childhood movies and I enjoy it to this day! I remember my father lovingly calling it “a hidden pearl” as not a lot of people having even heard about it :>

This is my favorite movie in existence I can watch it eight times in a row and that's putting it lightly without getting sick of it I love this movie finally someone else finally knows what it is

Finally, this movie is getting the attention it deserves :D

The ammount of childhood memories that just hit me at once is insane. I LOVED this movie as a kid.

4:02 nah listen this was a brilliant moment mans hit her with the double "listen honey".

I remember watching this on netflix I belive when I was like 7 or 8 so a couple years after it was made, I would rewatch it alot, it really is underrated

Oh no I’m so torn I don’t want spoilers but I also really want to hear a wonderful Ros Mo perspective!

Ever done Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart? It's pretty good and was French too I believe.

When I was little, my grandma had the movie disc and we would play it every time we went over there. Then, I wanted to watch it again. Because I’m an idiot and didn’t ask her the title, I scoured the internet, only remembering that it was flea that liked guitar in Paris. Of course, that yielded little results. I finally found it, while listening to La Seine. I adore this movie so much, it’s like a fever dream

I remember having a DVD of this film. Lucille's chemistry with Franqueur is super cute

So hey I'm French (sorry for my bad english) I really like your video on Un monstre à Paris I remember watching it when i was a kid in a movie theater and also buying the DVD because I liked it so much I don't know about the English "songs" but in French they are just soooooo incredible Vanessa Paradis and M (Matthieu Chedid) were just a perfect match (yes I'm still a litle bit obsessed withit) So thank you for talking about this movie (and yes la seine is the "river" that crosses Paris it's like an emblem) Des bisous trop fière que se soit un film français (on est là représente XD)

Yesss I ADORED this movie when I found it years ago! The music is so beautiful and although the animation feels a bit sped up (biased, also the fact I'm American and watch the dub version so the sync may be off), it's a gorgeous movie. When I got a bit older I did more research on the movie and found Matthieu Chedid, the French singer for Francoer. Again, I don't speak French at all but his music is so beautiful that I can't help but listen to it and look up what it means to fully understand the piece. I also only recently noticed that Matthieu wears this wig or cap of sorts that looks like an M (or what I can only describe as an off-brand Batman thing of sorts). When Lucile dresses Francoer up she puts Matthieu's wig/cap thing on him and he smiles so wide. Love that adorable boi, even if I hate bugs, their relationship is top-tier (and purely platonic, no bee movie, please and thank you)

I remember watching this movie in school- like- 7th grade I think. I remember being mesmerized by how well it was made. Especially the song La Seine❤ that one was my fav song. It was a fun watch

That revision scene is so cheesy but so good, absolutely what I would have wanted.

I grew up with this movie and I love that it’s getting more recognition! Keep up the good work!

I was in love with this movie, if I ever come to the conclusion that I'd want one of my favorite films to become a live action remake, this would be it. It's brilliant, and even in most modern cases when characters personalities are forced and one-dimensional, they're able to show the more vulnerable side of characters without taking away from their initial place in the movie. P.S. Francœur is hot-

Both versions areee MARVELOUS A very treasure to our childhood

This was one of my favourite movies growing up, I’m so happy I found this video☺️

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, from a movie collection my mom got when she was in El Salvador. It is a throw back to see this movie getting the attention it needs.

This was my childhood movie- I loved it so much!

This was my favorite movie as a kid and I watched it about 2 every week. I will never forget how hard I simped for that flea + raoule💀

I absolutely adore this movie and everytime I see someone mention it I want to watch it so hard again and again

Your drawings of the characters are so adorable!! I love them!!

I would love it if you talked about Cats Don’t Dance one day. That movie deserves more love

As a person who grew up with the french version, I find it so nice that Vanessa Paradis did the voice of Lucille in both french and english because it brings to the movie a closer vibe to the original french one, which is (to me at least) the best one bc it's the vo.

this was the movie that i had to watch EVERY SUNDAY when i was a kid, i never remembered why i stopped but i have always loved this movie and im glad its getting more attention now than before.

Thank you for doing this movie I watched it on repeat all my childhood

OH MY GOD I haven't watched this movie since I was in kindergarten, the nostalgia hits me hard 😭 I have so little memory of the plot but I still remember sitting on my grandma's bed in front of one of those old TVs that you could feel the parasites from just having your hand close to the screen and even dancing at the end song with the characters.. Thank you so much for talking about this movie as well! ❤️

Okay but like did anyone just stumble upon this movie and Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart on Netflix as a child and litterly fell in love with both movies .

I never watched this film when I was younger. But, I did discover it when I was visiting my sister one day, and found her watching it. It peaked my interest enough. I didn’t know what to expect, but I loved the story all the same. Nothing incredible, but a charming little movie nonetheless. Any animation fan, or family is bound to enjoy it.

12:45, my respect for you when you made a better scene went 📈📈📈📈📈📈♾️

As long as we don't have another bee movie its a very good movie

dude... i remember watching this like YEARS ago... the nostalgia is flooding back into my mind gruuuuhhhh

This is one of the most underrated movies ever. I am so glad I watched it on Amazon one day. I own it now which is nice. The animation, writing, and characters were so original and well done. The humor and dialogue was so carefully crafted and witty. Like Ratatouille made us care about a rat, this film made us care about a flea. A cute little (despite its new height) flea. Like the constable says, “there’s more humanity in that flea than the louse that I see before me.” I am always astounded it was John Lennon’s son who sang for Franceur (sorry if I misspelled it). His voice is so light, airy, kind of velvety, and angelic. I love the songs too. Always sing “la siene and I” and I like how it is gets a small update every time she sings it. The couples in this film were adorable. Can’t get enough of them. Even the costumes were well designed and fir the setting and time period. I know movies are not perfect, but for me this was a perfect film. I didn’t hate anything about this film aside from the person we were supposed to hate: the villain/antagonist.
