MPAA Rating:PG
Ten-year-old Arthur would love to follow in the footsteps
of his treasure-hunting grandpa. But since his grandpa
disappeared while on a journey, the boy and his
grandma can only remember him at their house in the
country—while Arthur's parents search for jobs in the
city.
Then a real estate developer informs Granny that he
plans to destroy her house and turn it into an apartment
building. Unless Grandpa can suddenly reappear, sign
the papers and come up with payment within 48 hours,
she and Arthur will lose their home.
Arthur has a plan. Grandpa buried a treasure
somewhere on the grounds, and Arthur is determined
to find it. But to find it, he has to find the Minimoys. His
grandfather told stories of a kingdom of Minimoys who
stand only about as tall as a tooth, and who hold his
stash of rubies somewhere in their underground world.
Arthur transforms into a Minimoy and is caught up in his
quest to save not only his Grandma's house, but also
the Minimoys.
Clubhouse readers may be uncomfortable with a
story that replaces faith in the true God with magic,
spells, curses and gods. Several misuses of God's
name are also present and a reference to alcohol and
drugs.
Arthur and the Invisibles features lots of
celebrities, some great animation and even some
worthwhile themes. But in the end, Clubhouse
kids may want to be invisible, and stay out of the
theaters.
