About the Movie
She’s captured millions of hearts and been adored by every generation — now Madeline stars in her first animated feature! Inspired by the beloved classic books that introduced us to a dozen delightful girls who live in an old house in Paris covered with vines, The Madeline Movie: Lost In Paris is full of spirited fun and five “fantastique” new songs
When a long-lost uncle from Vienna pays a surprise visit, Madeline’s dreams of family life seem wonderfully fulfilled — until she finds herself in the middle of an unfortunate scheme. Madeline then must call upon all of her courage and cleverness to foil an evil plot to take her from the only family she’s ever known. Join Madeline, Miss Clavel, Pepito, 11 school friends, and her ever-so-smart dog, Genevieve, in a thrilling Paris adventure you won’t want to miss, where everyone learns the true meaning of family
Screen legends Christopher Plummer (The Sound Of Music) and Lauren Bacall (The Big Sleep) costar in the animated feature the New York Daily News calls “delightful!

My Thoughts on the Movie
In watching this movie, I have to say that I have seen other Madeline movies in the past and was expecting something similar to this. This movie though to me was a bit darker than what I had expected. My daughter liked the movie, but I was surprised at the concepts of child labor that were introduced to children within the movie.
In the end the movie does have a happy resolution, I just thought that themes raised were a bit heavy for the young target audience.

Glad to see in your signature that you’re a Dad to Divas, i.e. girls. My boys used to catch the odd episode of Madeline on TV in the past, but wouldn’t dream of watching this “girl movie” these days
