In the US, the DVD for this film only has the English language version of this French cartoon. The same goes for Netflix. Interestingly, in Canada BOTH versions come on the DVD and I wish we had that option here in the States.
The story is odd to say the least. A flea is accidentally dosed with some chemicals and grows to human-size--larger, actually. However, an odd lady chanteuse falls sorry for the nice bug and helps hide him from baddies who want to destroy him and have convinced most everyone that the flea is a horrible monster. Together with her two male friends, the three humans have adventures with the flea and explore the streets and neighborhoods of Paris.
The plot to this film is okay, but what really impressed me was the nice computerized graphics. The film is nearly as nice looking as a Dreamworks or Pixar film but also has a look about it that is uniquely French. I particularly liked seeing Montmartre and Sacre Coueur--magnificent places that look even better in this nice film.
Overall, an enjoyable film that probably would appeal more to older children than young ones due to the style of characters and types of songs in the movie.
