A wacky inventor, his camera-crazy best friend and a madcap monkey make a massive mistake when let loose in a mad scientist’s laboratory. With lotions and potions spilling everywhere, the troublesome trio accidentally creates Franc, the product of a reaction between a common flea and one of the scientist’s mystery concoctions. What they fail to realize, however, is that this ‘monster’ is actually a soft-centered soul with an astounding talent for music.
With the help of an enchanting nightclub singer Lucille, Franc becomes the talk of the town, just as stories of Paris’s newest monster attract the attention of the egotistical police commissioner, hell bent on securing a big prize to help his battle to become mayor. The unwitting scientists and the singer must team up to protect Franc, a monster with more than a musical career to protect!

My Take on the DVD
This movie had a fun story that brought in many of the sights and sounds of Paris which was fun for my whole family, especially since my eldest keeps saying she wants to go and see the Eiffel Tower. One of the things that I really liked was that even though this was not from a place like Pixar you still see a great quality film that you and your kids will love. Not only is the plot strong, but the movie also has a great musical track. All I can say is that now I have seen this I will be sharing it with others, as I had never heard of this film before (though I wish that I had) and more people need to know about it as well. If you love cartoons and musicals, definitely check this out today!
