    • Trivia
      According to cinematographer Axel Cosnefroy, Nicolas Bary wanted the look of the film to be similar to the works of Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro, as well as settings that could lend themselves to a cartoonish atmosphere.
    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, a child's voice says: "Bah, c'est déjà fini?" (In English: "It is already finished?")

    Offensive in every way
    How could anybody raise any money for this. Marketed as a Harry Potter/Jeunet ripoff, that piece of garbage goes out of its way to steal from any source of successful and/or creative popular material, only doing it wrong in an unimaginative, exploitative attempt to cash on people's (and especially children's) stupidity.

    Nobody is spared, Grinn, J.K.Rowling, Del Toro, Burton, S.King, W.Golding... and a copious amount of French references, with Goscigny and Jeunet being the most obvious.

    Modern and politically correct winks are included of course, the single cool and integrated black kid shows up when needed, pop culture references, and so on.

    Any attempt at originality is ill-advised, if not completely, utterly sick.

    CGI is everywhere it shouldn't be. Many visuals are good, but many times unnecessary CGI elements are shouting "look at me ! I'm a process" on the screen. Like a phony print on a building, things like that.

    Needless to say, any decent performance (by the kids) gets drowned with the boat.

    The whole mess feels like a cheap, unlicensed, toxic copy of a plastic smurf village set.
