Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard (French: Arthur et la Vengeance de Maltazard) is a 2009 English-language French live-action/animated fantasy film directed and co-written by Luc Besson, based on the third book of the Arthur children's books series by Besson. It is the sequel to Arthur and the Minimoys (2006), and the second installment in the Arthur film series.
Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard was released theatrically in France on 2 December 2009 by EuropaCorp. The film received mixed reviews from critics in France and was received negatively outside France. Like its predecessor, it was a box-office success in France but was a box-office bomb internationally. It was released as a direct-to-video in the United States by 20th Century Home Entertainment, while in the United Kingdom and Ireland, it was edited as one film with the third film under the title Arthur and the Great Adventure. As a result, the film generated huge losses for EuropaCorp.[2]
A sequel, titled Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds and shot back-to-back, was released in 2010 in France.
Two years have passed since Arthur saved his grandparents’ home and saved the Minimoys from the evil Maltazard. Arthur stays with his grandparents for the holidays, during which the Bogo Matassalai (a fictitious African society) assign Arthur a series of tests, including camouflage and environmental nonviolence. Having passed these tests, Arthur prepares to see the Minimoys to celebrate, until his father decides to take him and his mother back to the metropolis. When a spider gives Arthur a grain of rice containing a distress-call, which he believes has come from the Minimoys, he returns to his grandparents' house, where the Bogo Matassalai's attempt to give him Minimoy stature through a telescope fails, and they instead wrap him in vines of increasing tightness until he falls as a drop of sap into the Minimoy Max's bar. En route to investigate the Minimoys' condition, Arthur and Max rescue Betameche, who leads Arthur to the King. He then learns that Selenia is held by Maltazard, who is inspired to invade the human world by increasing his own size. Maltazard tricks the Minimoys into completing his design. The telescope itself is destroyed in the process, leaving Arthur trapped at his Minimoy size, while Maltazard is free to roam the world.
For Luc Besson, the character of Arthur evolves at the same time as the film's spectators. It was therefore essential to advance the universe: “This is what was done with the Harry Potter saga, and I find it very intelligent: to attach ourselves to a character who grows at the same time as his audience. Script-wise, it's also very pleasant to work on characters who have a past, to give them a certain maturity”.[3]
While Douglas Rand played Arthur's father in Arthur and the Invisibles, the role is reprised in this film and the next by Robert Stanton. Furthermore, Yann Loubatière replaces Barbara Kelsch for the French voice of Arthur. On the American voice side, Lou Reed replaces David Bowie for the voice of Maltazard[3] while David Gasman succeeds Robert De Niro for that of the King of Minimoys. Likewise on the French side for Maltazard, the voice is taken over by Gérard Darmon after the death of Alain Bashung.
The filming of the live action scenes was done simultaneously with those of the following film, Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds, because Luc Besson wanted to prevent the young actor Freddie Highmore from growing up too much between the two films.[3]
As with the first film, it was Normandie that Arthur's village located in Connecticut was recreated, but this time on nearly 40,000 square meters. Luc Besson and production designer Hugues Tissandier created settings that did not appear in the first film: a church, shops, a supermarket, a garage, a hardware store, a police station, a cinema and a fountain, etc.[3]
Following the intensive negative reactions from the cuts of Arthur and the Minimoys,[4] The Weinstein Company would not distribute this sequel or the next one. It was instead distributed by 20th Century Fox. Unlike its predecessor, no scenes were cut or changed for the US release. However, it was edited in the UK and Ireland by combining it with the next sequel into one film under the title Arthur and the Great Adventure. Also, neither of the American actors that re-dubbed the original dialogues in Minimoys would repeat this due to Weinstein not partaking any distribution of the Arthur sequels.
The Japanese release would only change the theme song to be "Uh Uh" by IMALU.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
In France, the film obtained an average rating of 3,1⁄5 on the AlloCiné site, which lists 17 press titles.[11]
The film was very poorly received by the press in the United States. On American aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 14% based on reviews from 7 critics, with an average rating of 4/10.[12]
To promote the film, two video games by Ubisoft were released for PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. The games compose of mostly minigames and cutscenes which are loosely related to the plot of the film.[13]
In 2010, a sequel titled Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds was released.
