With the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival just around the corner, an English dubbed trailer for the Luc Besson-produced/Bibo Bergeron-directed animated feature film A Monster In Paris has been uploaded at the official TIFF Youtube channel. Even the musical scenes were vocally translated to match the original song. The international voice cast include Vanessa Paradis (Lucille), Sean Lennon (Francoeur), Adam Goldberg (Raoul), Danny Huston (Maynott), Bob Balaban (Pâté) and Catherine O'Hara (Carlotta).
Paris, 1910. Panic sweeps the city. Floodwaters are rising and a monster is on the loose! Formidable Commissioner Maynott and his men hunt it down day and night. With no luck.There is no official U.S. distributor as of yet. The theatrical release date in France is on October 12th. You'll find the trailer and the French version musical clip embedded below.
It could be that in the limelight at The Rare Bird, a Montmartre cabaret where feisty Lucille is the star attraction, isn't a bad place to hide at all!
I absolutely loved the look of this (though I hated the dubbing... uuuggghhh!!!) and hope it gets a UK release (in French with subtitles.)
And the song in the second clip was great (and the scenes were so well lit!)
Fantastique!
