Leave it to the French to find a way to perfectly
mesh classic literature with energetic animation in a way that will delight
fans of any age. Directed by Eduardo Schuldt (The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer),
the story follows a group of talented kids as they battle a mad scientist who
has kidnapped a secret imagination machine that has the power to change the
plots of books by France’s greatest author, Jules Verne. The story gets a bit too complicated at
times, particularly if you are not already familiar with the author’s stories,
but the energy of the film keeps things moving along at a pace that stops you
from dwelling on such things too long. Better yet, it’s designed to inspire
viewers of all ages to head to their library after the movie is done and check
out the original Jules Verne adventures for themselves.
