The first installment of the Arthur and the Retribution of Maltazard series is one of the best-known films in the history of fantasy. The storyline revolves around the nefarious Emperor Maltazard, played by Lou Reed. The nefarious plan of Maltazard involves capturing Arthur to gain power over his kingdom. Read on to learn more about the characters of the first and second movies.
Characters in the first film
The film is a sequel to the children’s book series of the same name. It was released on June 29, 2009 in France and in English. It is based on the third and fourth books of the series. This film is a edgy meta spinoff of the Arthur series. This film was produced by Luc Besson. It was a successful film and is the second of four installments. A third movie, Arthur and the War of the Two Worlds, was released in France in 2010.
The film begins with Arthur receiving a distress call from the Princess Selenia, a beautiful young woman. He flies to her aid and rescues her. He is later joined by his best friend, Betameche (Selena Gomez), who is also a princess. Meanwhile, Maltazard (Lou Reed) is a powerful tyrant with a nefarious plan.
The film stars a number of well-known cartoon characters. Arthur is an eleven-year-old boy, while the miniaturized version is about twelve. He continues his romance with the much older Selenia (voiced by Madonna in the original film). Both are close in age, as minimoys tend to mature much faster than humans do. Nevertheless, the film’s characterization is not perfect, and some characters are better than others.
As we’ve discussed, the first film of Arthur and the revenge of the Maltazard series has a variety of characters. Arthur and his grandfather are separated. Arthur has little contact with his parents, and his grandmother entertains him by telling stories about his grandfather’s adventures in Africa. The Bogo Matassalai tribe is made up of tall Masai-like men, and Arthur meets the Minimoys. As the film progresses, he becomes more involved with the two tribes.
The film is directed by Luc Besson and stars Freddie Highmore, Madonna, Robert De Niro, David Bowie, Snoop Dogg, and Harvey Keeman. Other notable cast members include Chazz Palminteri, Emilio Estevez, Lou Reed, and Fergie. The film is also a part of the Arthur and the Invisibles movie series.
Characters in the second film
The second film in the Arthur trilogy is Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard. Despite its colossal local release in France, this film is disappointingly dull and operates on child-like divisions. While the story is compelling, the film’s characters are undeveloped and not particularly likeable. In particular, Arthur’s father is a comic caricature, unnaturally obsessed with killing insects.
The actors playing the main characters are good, but the chemistry between them is lacking. Maltazard, the pint-sized ruler, is voiced by Lou Reed, who provides a monotone New York accent. This one character is a standout. The film ends with a cliffhanger, which promises more adventures for Maltazard. But there are a few flaws in the second installment.
As a child, Arthur saves his grandparents’ home from the evil Maltazard. However, he gets caught in a trap when he tries to escape from the cave. He calls for his friends, and the men and boys help him. Arthur also calls upon his dad for help in stopping Maltazard. These characters are also introduced in the third film of the Arthur series.
The characters in the second movie of Arthur and the revenge of Maltazard are mainly the same as in the first one. Although the two movies have different plots, they are all interesting. For example, the parents are racist and do not care about Arthur’s happiness. The father, however, is the kindest and most caring to Arthur. Arthur and Selenia meet only once every ten moons.
The film is a sequel to the first, which starred Freddie Highmore and Madonna. Both films are animated and based on the books written by Luc Besson. The actors who appear in the second film of Arthur and the revenge of Maltazard include Freddie Highmore and Madonna. The series also features notable actors such as Chazz Palminteri, Emilio Estevez, Fergie, and Lou Reed.
The cartoon characters in the second film of Arthur and the revenge on Maltazard include Selenia, Prince Betameche, Armand, and Jake. All three are voices by popular singers and actors. Some of the characters were also adapted into different languages, including French and Spanish. One of the most popular versions features a live-action narration. One of the biggest changes to the storyline is the miniaturization. This means that the characters in the animated films are not always fully fleshed out.
Characters in the third film
The characters in the third Arthur and the revenge of Maltazerd film are mainly made up of human beings, and the CGI effects are impressive. The voice talent is particularly good, especially for Maltazard, who is played by Lou Reed. This monster is a dangerous adversary, who seeks to use Arthur’s power to enlarge his followers. Freddie Highmore portrays both the live-action version of Arthur and the Minimoy-ified version of him. He delivers likable performances in both.
There are also a few recurring characters who show their faces in the third Arthur and the revenge of Maltazerd film. Among them are Arthur and Darkos, who are expert drivers. Both characters are injured frequently in the third film, and Darkos has a number of slapstick jokes about them. Arthur’s father tries to keep him from becoming allergic to bees, even though this would have killed him.
The live action sequences in the third Arthur and the revenge of Maltzard are the best in the film, where Luc Besson infuses the live action segments with panache that more than makes up for the movie’s kid-friendly sensibilities. However, the film loses its grip when Arthur is miniaturized and sent to the realm of Minimoys, and the low-rent computer animation is a major hindrance.
While the first two movies focused on the king of the Knights of the Round Table, the third film takes the story to a more meta-level. This film also follows the premise of the first two films, and follows the third and fourth book in the series. The film was released on June 29, 2010, in France and the UK. A sequel is planned for the series in the future.
