Arthur and the Invisibles

Film Synopsis

Ten-year-old Arthur’s grandfather disappeared four years ago, leaving behind nothing but stories about invisible people less than half an inch tall. When Arthur discovers a hidden message he finds himself magically transformed into an Invisible, and given just 36 hours to recover a stolen treasure from the clutches of an evil wizard, win the heart of the princess, and somehow get back home again. It seems like an impossible task, but as he discovers along the way, sometimes the littlest heroes can make the biggest difference.
