Arthur et les Minimoys (France) Arthur, Selena and Betamesh crossed seven continents, and they came to the Forbidden City in Boli, a city ruled by the demon Matazard. In order to find the jewels, they had to enter the devil's palace, but the devil tried every means to stop Arthur and his party from achieving their goal. Arthur, they're in danger and time is pressing. In a day or two, there will be no more gardens, no more houses, and no more mini ink people ... Can Arthur find his grandfather in time? Can he win Selena's heart? Can they risk their lives together to save the mini ink kingdom? The most important thing is, did they finally defeat davydov's plot, so that grandma's beautiful house did not fall into the hands of others?
In the deepest part of the underground, the mini ink kingdom is waiting for ... the emergence of heroes.
Arthur's grandfather disappeared four years ago. The only thing he left was a notebook full of stories, from which he could learn about African tribes, including the mini-ink kingdom, who were little people less than an inch tall.
But the mini-ink kingdoms don't look real-do they really exist?
Just as Arthur decided to set out to look for it, he got a strange secret instruction. For the first time, he sat on the plane catapult he had fantasized about. Within three days, he will find a place to land in the mini-ink kingdom, retrieve the stolen treasure, fight the mosquitoes invaded by foreign enemies-the rider defeated an evil wizard and won the heart of a completely free and independent princess-and then quietly return to his home.
All this seems to be an impossible task, but he will always fight alone. Sometimes a little hero can often achieve great things ... Title: Revenge of Arthur and Malta.

The young adventurer Arthur, the beautiful princess Selenia and the funny Beidamarsh joined forces to fight against the evil Mata killing. The combination of these three characters immediately touched the hearts of young audiences. Director luc besson said: "In Arthur's fantasy kingdom trilogy, each character represents a certain part of me. In particular, half of Arthur's personality comes from my personal childhood memories. "
Freddie Highmore (such as Arthur) said, "Every child will believe that there is actually a magical world besides the real world. I'm happy to play Arthur. He is just like any boy his age. The difference is that with his adventure, Arthur became a real hero. "
The animator spent six months designing the appearance of the character. With the development of the trilogy of "Arthur's Fantasy Kingdom" downloaded from the film, the characters in the play are slightly mature in appearance, but these subtle changes are actually hard-won. Take the son Dake killed by Marta as an example. Sometimes the performance of animated characters is more wonderful than that of real actors. The French version of Mata killed Gerald Damon. Gerald Damon thinks that the relationship between Mata's murder and his son Dake is very similar to Shakespeare. Dake was supposed to be Mata's man, but his son turned against him and pulled him back.
Animation director Yves Erziqing said that we tried to create Dakota with a cute monster, making him look terrible and stupid at the same time, balancing these two opposites and shaping Dakota into an interesting character. Director Stephanie Nanz said that Mata Heizi is an ambitious villain, and it is not easy for animators to rack their brains to create a different bad image.
The Challenge of Real Life Shooting
The biggest challenge of this film's live shooting is to build a daisy town. Art designer Hugo Stisundier built a scene of more than 40,000 square meters in Normandy, recreating the style of classic American towns in the 1960s. There are churches, shops, supermarkets, garages, pharmacies, police stations, cinema police stations, fountain pools and so on. The layout of the scene was deeply inspired by famous American naturalist painters such as norman rockwell and edward hopper.
In order to blend in with the crowd in the human world, Mata put on the costume of the comic character magician Mandela. The magician Mandrake is a cartoon character created by Lee Fogg and philip davis in 1934. He wears a magician's top hat, a black cloak, Batman-like props and hypnosis. Mandrake was the first famous comic superhero. The trilogy Arthur and His Mini Kingdom uses the patented technology of French and Arthur's special effects company Buff. Fight Club, The Matrix, Batman: The War Years and 2046 have also used this special effect. In the trilogy of Arthur's Fantasy Kingdom, the BUF special effects team pays more attention to making the picture more vivid, and the biggest difficulty is how to make the animated characters perfectly integrate into the real scene. Pierre Buffin, director of "3d Images", said that the audience has long been accustomed to the development of science and technology, so the requirements are higher. /kloc-The popular movies 0/5 years ago were very popular. To make the trilogy of Arthur's Fantasy Kingdom, our first task is to make 3D animated characters look very natural in real scenes.
The second and third episodes of Arthur and His Mini Kingdom used more than 3,000 animation shots. In terms of science and technology, the most difficult thing is to combine 3D images with physical scenes, and each image is different. The 35cm image is softer than the computer-generated image, so we have to make a lot of efforts to make the two blend harmoniously, which is why the third episode of Arthur's Fantasy Kingdom is different from other animations. It is especially difficult to combine 3D with real scenes, because it is easy for the audience to see the obvious differences between them. In the film, when Dakota meets Arthur's grandfather, the skin of the real character is too different from that of the 3D character, so we must adjust the actor's skin texture with special effects. Stephanie Nanz, the director, said that Yves Effendi, the animation director, said that the crew not only set "Arthur" as a cartoon or a film showing the beauty of nature, but also paid equal attention to both, and used images and dictation to switch between the two. The motivation for filming Arthur and His Mini Kingdom is that in 1999, director luc besson received the work of illustrator patrice Garcia. The first episode took ten years to plan, and with the excellent skills of the French BUF special effects team, the latest film Arthur 2 was presented. Director luc besson said that as a father, I know how difficult it is to teach children respect and morality. Writing the script of Arthur and making it into a movie is to express it to my children through the role. 200 1, the crew began to prepare for Arthur. The first thing is to try to combine 3D animation with real scenes.
Patrice Garcia, the artistic director, said, "When we started shooting, the animated version of Arthur looked like some kind of small animal, while Serena was a little childish. It took 2D and 3D draftsmen a long time to decide the appearance of the characters. This process is like slowly putting the puzzles together. "
"Arthur and His Mini-Kingdom 2" and "Arthur and His Mini-Kingdom 3" are actually a complete story divided into two parts, and the shooting time is the same, so as to prevent the actor Freddie Highmore who plays the real Arthur from growing up over time. The challenge of the 3D production team is to complete two films in the time of making one film, which is about two and a half years in total.
Pierre Ba Fen, director of 3D video, said: "Our greatest achievement is that we have finished the trilogy Arthur and His Mini Kingdom, which is still very popular. Ten years ago, we didn't expect such great achievements today. "
Freddie Highmore, an actor, thinks that the difficulty in shooting this movie lies in that every time he plays basketball with director luc besson, the crew will play the theme song of the movie, making him feel that he is really a mini!
