IMDB rating: 5.70 Plot: Arthur is a spirited ten-year old whose parents are away looking for work, whose eccentric grandfather has been missing for several years, and who lives with his grandmother in a country house that, in two days, will be repossessed, torn down, and turned into a block of flats unless Arthur’s grandfather returns to sign some papers and pay off the family debt. Arthur discovers that the key to success lies in his own descent into the land of the Minimoys, creatures no larger than a tooth, whom his grandfather helped relocate to their garden. Somewhere among them is hidden a pile of rubies, too. Can Arthur be of stout heart and save the day? Romance beckons as well, and a villain lurks. |

Differences and similarities between Arthur and the Invisibles book and film?
I have to write an essay in German (we read the book in German and also watched the film in German) about the differences between Arthur and the Minimoys book and the film, Arthur and the Invisibles.
The thing is, I’ve seen the film, but I was ill for most of the semester and didn’t get to most of the book. Could someone please explain the major (and minor) similarities and differences between the two? Such as characters’ attitudes, major scenes, etc.
Thanks in advance!
don’t think this will help you much as the german version isn’t mentioned but there were big differences between the american and french versions of the film
[edit] Differences between the French and American versions
After a screening test in the United States,[citation needed] the Weinstein company decided to edit the film. Approximately nine minutes were cut. Most of the edits pertained to the love story taking place between Arthur and Selenia. The Scenes were:
Arthur’s arrival at the Minimoy world in the middle of a Ceremony centering on Selenia’s coming of age;
Arthur falling in love with Selenia at first sight;
Arthur removing a string from Selenia’s corset to use as a rope during the river scene, and Selenia taking the string back;
Selenia kissing Arthur before going to confront Maltazard, and Betameche congratulating them over their wedding;
Selenia kissing Arthur before he is transported back to his own world;
Arthur learning of the custom that a princess must wait ten moons (lunar months) before kissing her chosen husband for the second time;
Davido attempting to steal the treasure from Archibald, before being captured by the Bogo Matassalai;
Arthur’s Grandmother in the antique dealership prior to them arriving at her home;
Max telling Selenia about his 7 wives while they are dancing;
Malthazar confronting Selenia about her engagement to Arthur.
The British version of the film, also distributed by the Weinstein Company, similarly lacked these scenes
