| Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard | |
|
SYNOPSIS: In 1963, 13-year-old Arthur stays with his grandparents in the holidays. He is befriended with a Maasai-like tribe called the Bogo Matassalai and with the Minimoys, tooth-sized, elfin beings, who all live there in the garden. The Bogo Matassalai grant Arthur a distinction regarding being one with nature, after succeeding in a series of tests, such as hugging a tree for hours, sleeping with a wild animal, and eating grass. The Bogo Matassalai are capable of transforming a person to a Minimoy. It is only possible every tenth full moon, at midnight. Arthur is about to undergo this procedure, to visit the Minimoys (who are expecting him and preparing a party for him), and especially the Minimoys' princess Selenia. A spider delivers to Arthur a grain of rice with the message "help", which must come from the Minimoys, and makes it even more important for him to visit them. Arthur's father wants to kill bees, since Arthur is allergic to the stings. However, his grandfather Archibald objects because of his respect for nature. Therefore Arthur's father wants to take him home earlier than planned. At a gas station Arthur escapes from the car and returns to his grandparents' house. The Bogo Matassalai attempt to transform him using a telescope, but this method fails due to clouds covering the full moon. Therefore Arthur asks the Bogo Matassalai to apply the alternative method, even though it is more dangerous. They agree. Arthur is wound into ropes, which are pulled more and more tight. The procedure is successful. In the end Selenia and Arthur share a kiss before Maltazard explains. It turns out that Maltazard sent the message to lure Arthur, so that Maltazard can use the passage back, which is available at the next noon. Thus he arrives in the world of humans, enlarged to their size. He is pleased to see that animals are afraid of him. Arthur is stuck in small size in the Minimoy kingdom, because the telescope to be used for his return has been destroyed by the passage of Maltazard. This could mean that he can only return after ten months. The film ends abruptly, with the sound of The Minimoys Band singing "Poker Face", with the hook "ma-ma-ma-ma" in the opening of the song is replaced by "ma-ma-ma-ma... Maltazard". The plot is continued in the following film, Arthur and the War of Two Worlds. The teaser at the end of the film shows a human Arthur being pursued by Maltazard's soldiers in a grocery store, who he trips up by tipping a display of oranges down the aisle. |
