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?

Crazy credits
Character development sketches appear behind the initial end credits.

Beautiful film. Tres bonne!

A very enjoyable kids' movie which pays homage to other 'monster'-classics like Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera and King Kong. A feast for the eyes and a classic story with a twist in which losers become heroes, heroes become villains and a monster turns out quite different to what we expect. Well not really, because all monsters are misunderstood gentle souls and greedy ambitious people always turn out to be the real monsters. The story is accompanied by beautiful songs. I regret to have seen the English version because I just know the original French chansons must be even better. My 4 year old daughter, 11 year old son and I loved it and my wife quite enjoyed as well. Certainly not a waste of money like some of the other reviewers said.
