One upcoming movie to indonesian's cinema, and absolutly the next of Freddie Highmore's movie. Arthur And The Revenge Of Maltazard Movie is the sequel of Arthur and the Invisibles. This movie contain of a half animation and also half live action part, was released on November 26, 2009, and directed (also written) by Luc Besson.

The story taken time in the 1960s. 13-year-old Arthur stays with his grandparents in the holidays. He is befriended with a Maasai-like tribe called the Bogo Matassalai and with the Minimoys, tooth-sized, elfin beings, who all live there in the garden. The Bogo Matassalai grant Arthur a distinction regarding being one with nature, after succeeding in a series of tests, such as hugging a tree for hours, sleeping with a wild animal, and eating grass.



The Bogo Matassalai are capable of transforming a person to a Minimoy. It is only possible every tenth full moon, at midnight. Arthur is about to undergo this procedure, to visit the Minimoys (who are expecting him and preparing a party for him), and especially his beloved Selenia. A spider delivers to Arthur a grain of rice with the message "help", which must come from the Minimoys, and makes it even more important for him to visit them.

Arthur's father wants to kill bees, since Arthur is allergic to bee stings. However, his own father Archibald objects because of his respect for nature.Therefore Arthur's father wants to take the boy home earlier than planned. At a gas station Arthur escapes from the car and returns to his grandparents' house. The Bogo Matassalai attempt to transform him using a telescope, but this method fails due to clouds covering the full moon. Therefore Arthur asks the Bogo Matassalai to apply the alternative method, even though it is more dangerous. They agree. Arthur is wound into ropes, which are pulled more and more tight. It is so painful that Arthur begs them to stop, but it is too late to abort the procedure. It is successful.

It turns out that the bad Maltazard sent the message to lure Arthur, so that Maltazard can use the passage back, which is available at the next noon. Thus he arrives in the world of humans, enlarged to their size. He is pleased to see that animals are afraid of him (wikipedia).

I was surprised when saw Freddie in this movie. He still young, I mean not like 17th years old boy. But this movie was made in 2007 and he was 15 years old.
This movie was dedicated to celebrate Christmas 2009, and the next sequel, Arthur and the War of the Two Worlds, is planned for Christmas 2010. Hohoh... can not wait to see Freddie again. Let see the trailer
