Arthur Malediction (2022)

Ein unglaublich lustiger Horror Film der den Film “Arthur und die Minimoys” thematisiert!

Alles begann mit einer Geburtstagsfeier von einem Kind namens Alex, er hatte ein paar Freunde (wenn nicht sogar seine besten Freunde) zu seiner Geburtstagsfeier eingeladen wo sie sich unter anderem auch den Film “Arthur und die Minimoys” angeschaut haben! Da wurde die große Liebe zu dem Film entfacht und ab diesem Zeitpunkt dreht sich alles nur noch um diese kleinen Geschöpfe!

Wenn man den Kinderfilm nicht gesehen hat, versteht man einige Teile dieses Films nicht! Also wichtige Empfehlung ... schaut euch vorher den Kinderfilm an!!

Nachdem die Freunde so vernarrt in den Film waren und so ziemlich jedes Fan-Utensil hatten, haben sie sich Jahre später, wieder zum Geburtstag von Alex, aufgemacht um das Haus in dem “Arthur und die Minimoys” gedreht wurde, zu suchen und zu finden.

Bei ihrer Ankunft sind sie fasziniert von der Location und finden zudem eine Reihe zurückgelassener Requisiten. Doch aus dem seligen Fantraum wird schon bald ein Albtraum. Denn irgendwer oder irgendwas ist hinter ihnen her. Und schon bald gibt es die ersten Toten.

Ich kann nicht sagen ob ich diesen Film gut oder schlecht finde! Aber er war aufjedenfall lustig zum Anschauen und hat definitiv Spaß gemacht! Man kann ihn aufjedenfall anschauen, vor allem wenn man den Kinderfilm kennt und somit die Hinweise in diesem Film auch richtig versteht! Ohne dem Background-Wissen, sind viele der Szenen einfach nicht verständlich und wirken ziemlich zufällig, da sie in der Handlung selbst nicht wirklich erklärt bzw aufgelöst werden, was ich ziemlich schade finde!

Die Produzenten gehen davon aus, dass man den Kinderfilm kennt!

Aber abgesehen davon, hatte ich wirklich Spaß den Film zu sehen!

Arthur and the Minimoys or the nostalgic movie I would not recommend 

Back when I was little I was a big fan of a cartoon that told a story of a 10 year old boy traveling to the land of microscopic creatures in order to rescue his grandpa.But upon rewatching the trilogy (yes,there are three movies out there) I realized that it has way more problematic aspects then I remember.You may ask:what is so icky about a French cartoon from 2000s with uncanny valley effects that made you want to warn people?Well worry not,for I will explain it to you!

1.Bogo Matassalai

Bogo Matassalai is a fictional African tribe that the main characters grandfather,Archibald Suchshot,helped build an irrigation system.As thanks,they gifted him a bag of rubies and introduced him to their friends-minimoys.What is interesting though,is that both tribes mentioned moved to Connecticut,specifically to the Archibalds yard or nearby,seemingly without any reason (as it wasn’t mentioned in any film).Bear in mind that Arthur’s grandfather is supposed to be an explorer during the 60s,so now the implications are weird.

Another thing is Bogo Matassalais lack of individuality:we don’t learn about their reasoning behind abandoning their homeland to move with Suchshot,their backstories aside from what others told of them,even their names are unknown.The tribe usually shows up when the plot requires them to,helping the main character and then disappearing.What’s worse is the reaction of others towards them:Arthur’s father,Francis,after first seeing members of Bogo Matassalai,ran away frightened towards home where he tried to call the police,and when he failed,Francis tried to explain that he saw “tall and black” figures.His wife,Rosie,isn’t better in this regard:every time she sees the tribe,she either faints or acts as if they could bite her head off.It seems that the crew behind those films wanted to show the bias of Arthur’s parents and ridicule them, but without devoting enough time to this aspect, the audience only sees the shuddering and gawking at people of another ethnicity for the comedic aspect.

It’s also important to add that in the second film,the tribe wanted Arthur to pass the tests of nature,where he hugs trees and sleeps near wild animals.Aside from cultural inaccuracy I’m not qualified to dissect,we also get-

-this.

It becomes pretty clear that Bogo Matassalai are used either as a narrative foil or some kind of exotic “other”,stripping them of any personality or agency.However,this wasn’t the only instance the trilogy did certain characters dirty.

2.Selenia 

Oh boy,where do I even begin?The princess of the First Land was hinted to be Arthur’s love interest from the very start,but upon getting to know her we notice that she’s voiced by a grown actress(Madonna in the eng dub and Myléne Farmer in the french) and is sexualized either through frames that showcase her butt/breasts(like that scene when Arthur took a lace from her top-corset thingy and she had to hold it from falling apart) or through the words of grown men who want to marry her.So aside from objectification of said character,we also get the memo that she’s an adult and Arthur is too young for her.But apparently that isn’t the issue?During their stay with Koolamassai,the princess explains that she’s 1000 years old,but the human equivalent is 10.So now it’s confirmed that Arthur,a 10 year old boy,is considered an adult in Minimoys society and therefore allowed to marry Selenia,a woman who turns out to be a child in human years.So here we have a female character, who,despite being  portrayed by the male gaze,is still implied to be a kid.

Thus here are my reasons as to why watching Arthur and the Minimoys may be uncomfortable for an audience who hopped on nostalgia train or wanted to see something new.
