    • Trivia
      When Lucille tries to disguise Fracoeur's head with several hats and wigs in her dressing room, the one that looks like a Dracula hairdo resembles the hair style that -M- or Matthieu Chedid -the voice and singer for Francoeur- uses in his real on-stage persona.
    • Goofs
      Although the story is set in 1910, the Mayor of Paris is featured. The office of Mayor of Paris was suppressed in 1871, after the 'Commune', and was not restored until 1977.
    • Quotes

      Emile: Uh, Raoul, you didn't see something strange in there, did you?

      Raoul: You mean besides a singing monkey, a fifty foot sunflower, and the vials of potions that almost killed us? No. You see anything strange?

    A little French gem steeped in poetry

    The Computer-Generated Imagery is absolutely fabulous: it creates a fantastic and wonderful atmosphere kindly inviting the spectators to immerse themselves in the Paris of 1910, partially submerged by an exceptional flood. There is a lot of poetry and tenderness.

    In the original version, the main characters are interpreted by Matthieu Chedid (better known under the pseudonym -M-), François Cluzet, the delicious and well-known Vanessa Paradis. The songs are beautifully interpreted with two versions of 'La Seine'. The first one is without -M-, with slight and voluntary low spirits. The second one, with -M-: this time Vanessa Paradis offers us an interpretation full of vitality and charm!

    As a synthesis: a major cartoon for all the family. 6/7 of 10
