Goofs

The movie seems to be set sometime between 1885 and 1889. While a motorcycle powered by an internal combustion engine was invented in 1885, Mr. Luteau's machine seems to be a design from 1895 at the very earliest.

User Reviews

Charming movie about chasing your dreams and never giving up

Im a huge fan for animation, I heard about this movie and didn't really know what to expect. What I got was a beautiful movie with the positive messages of chasing your dreams and never giving up on them no matter how hard things may seem.

I do kinda wish the subplot of victor could have tied in more with the main focus of Felicie but it is what it is, I ain't complaining.

Finally, It was hilarious and very charming too. Perfect for families. Enjoy the movie!
