But, what he doesn't know is that the plea for help is all part of Maltazard's evil plan to trick Arthur into entering the Minimoys' world, reversing the magic that makes him bigger. Now it's Arthur that stands at just half an inch tall and Maltazard who is larger than life and running riot in Arthur's world. At his new diminutive proportions, has Arthur got what it takes to defeat the evil Emperor?

Critic Reviews

Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
This is nicely acted and Besson deserves some sort of award for casting Lou Reed and Iggy Pop as its villains, but the script and direction are all over the place and it never really comes together.
-
Philip French, Guardian [UK]
The narration is somewhat muddled, the special effects are almost endearingly naïve, and I cannot see who it's aimed at.

Mike McCahill, Scotsman
Even those generous enough to have rescued 2007's part-animated Arthur and the Invisibles from a DVD bargain bin would likely concede there wasn't much call for a sequel.
-
Sukhdev Sandhu, Daily Telegraph
One life-threatening, story-aggregating episode follows another so that, long before the film ends, you wish Arthur and his chums would have a lie down.

Andrew Pulver, Guardian [UK]
While adults may well be fumbling for paracetamol after a few minutes, their offspring may well love its sugar-rush energy. But it could easily have lost a third of its length with little difference.
