Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds (Arthur 3: la guerre des deux mondes)

: Remember..

Arthur was a little boy who wanted to save his grandparents' home.

He asked

the two-millimeter tall Minimoys who lived at the bottom of his garden

to help find a mysterious treasure held by the diabolical Maltazard

and his son, Darkos.

Hey, hero, let's go.

Princess Selenia and her little brother

Betamechejoined Arthur on his adventure.

Waah.

- And after many brave exploits and close shaves,

they thwarted Maltazard's plan. - Damn.

- Father, get me. - And at last recovered the treasure.

Here.

Bravo, my boy.

- Ten moons later, Arthur received an S. O.S.

Oh, my God.

- He made it back to the Minimoys as fast as he could.

Please. Stop.

- With his friend Max and his flying ladybug,

Arthur went to the rescue.

After freeing Betameche from an army of unicorns...

he finally reached the Minimoy village. - Hi.

Arthur. It's Arthur.

- Only to discover that the call for help was a trap set for him

by the loathsome Maltazard.

Maltazard was determined to take Arthur's place

on the return trip out of the Minimoys' world...

... into the human world.

Now M is bigger and stronger than ever

How can Arthur, Betameche and Selenia stop him?

At last, you're going to find out.

They're so excitable today.

Strange. Spring's long gone.

Hey. What's going on?

What?

That's awful.

Hey, beautiful, we'll finish this off later.

I have to warn the king.

Whoa. Ohh.

Whoa. Whaa.

Come on, taxi.

Aaah.

Ouch!

Whoo-hoo!

- Did you just knock? - Yes. With my head.

- Geez, why can't you use your hands like everybody else?

There's no time to explain.

I need to see the king. - Hmph.

Arthur.

This can't be a good omen. Do something to help, will you?

- I'll try. - Right.

- Still going on? - Yes.

Mm-mmm.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Don't you think we should try to come up with a plan first

before we go charging off on a new adventure?

- We have to catch Evil M before he can do any harm. That's the plan.

- The Evil M is probably seven foot tall by now. We're two millimeters tall.

- Seven feet, two millimeters. What's the difference?

You don't measure a soldier's bravery in inches.

- You're right. It's by the number of people who turn out for his funeral.

Selenia, you have no idea what seven foot is.

Despite all its powers, your sword'll be useless. He'll use it to pick his teeth.

Maybe he will. Maybe I fail.

But I am a princess of royal blood and I will defend my kingdom to my last breath.

- Awesome. Great speech, Sis. Meantime, the sword's still in the stone.

- Beta, tell me. - Yes?

- It's been a long time since I've beat you up, hasn't it?

No.

- Cut it out. The best plan is definitely not to beat each other up.

- So, what is the best plan, Mr. Smarty-Pants?

- We have to take a minute and think. Calmly, okay?

M is very tall, and we're very small.

But he's a stranger in a world I know very well.

- And knowing M, he won't take long to raise an army and invade my country.

- And now he's so big, he can travel faster and he can go farther.

- And I think that leaves us with only one option. We have to grow too.

Bravo, Arthur. The perfect solution.

Now maybe you'll tell us how you plan on growing us?

Maybe gulping down tons of selenial soup

to make a quick gain of, oh, one millimeter?

- No, but there has to be a solution. - He's right.

It's written in the Big Book, page 712:

"Where there's no solution, there's no problem."

- Well, little brother, guess what, there is a problem,

and the solution is not gonna be found in any book.

In a book. Of course. You're so right.

The solution isn't in a book. It's between two books.

Huh?

- Listen to me. In Archibald's study, I saw a vial between two books.

It contains an elixir that makes you go from Minimoy size to human size.

So, we're not human enough for you?

Huh. - No, that's not what I...

Selenia, please. This is no time to pick fights.

Adventure is waiting for us.

- By the great forest. I'll never get used to that.

- Wow. - Hmph.

- Check. It's the latest, the greatest. Don't even try to hate us.

Bust a move, Picasso. It's the cops.

You do not appreciate my offer.

Simon, your badge.

Your badge should be four fingers over your left pocket, son, no place else.

What? Sorry, Chief.

Thanks for the tip.

Oh. Martin.

That was fast. - You holler, we're here. That's our motto.

Yes, I know.

And who's that?

He's... my new partner.

Just out of school.

I'm trying to teach him the rudiments of the job.

You know, the dos and don'ts, the ins and outs, the hows and how not tos.

- Well, just one month and he's already crawling.

That's a promising recruit.

Simon.

Chief.

I lost my badge. - Find it.

- You know, it was my son-in-law that insisted on calling you.

I wouldn't have disturbed you for anything so minor.

- Hello, Martin. - Miss Rose, a pleasure.

- You must be dying of thirst from this heat.

I'll make you some nice fresh lemonade.

That would be great. Thank you.

What exactly happened?

- Oh, it was nothing. A little too much sun on his head.

When the temperature rises, the heat makes you see things.

Well, let me talk to him.

Well then, sir...

what, uh, exactly did we see today?

I saw the devil.

- The devil. - Uhh.

And, uh, what did this devil look like?

- Oh, about 10 feet tall with a big hat and, uh...

wings on his back.

Interesting.

Skin color? White, black, yellow?

Green. With blue tints.

Any distinguishing features?

Oh, a big nose without nostrils...

and holes all over the rest of his body.

One tiny arm that seemed kind of withered compared to the other,

which was enormous with these kind of pincers

he used to pick me up and throw me down.

I was so scared I called for me mother.

: Mom.

Hello, Martin. - Ma'am.

Oh. One more thing.

I think he likes marshmallows.

I think I have all I need.

Okay.

- I'm going to write up my report, and we'll be in touch.

Simon.

Archibald, I don't want to alarm you,

but the situation might be worse than you think.

- Don't worry about it. I've known him since he was this high.

I know how to talk to him.

Talking's fine,

but in this situation, you might consider isolating him.

Definitely.

But before we can isolate him, we have to catch him.

Then we'll break the spell and he'll shrink back to his three-millimeter height.

Everything'll soon be back to normal.

Thanks for stopping by.

Chief, I...

I still can't find my badge.

- First things first. Let's get out of this madhouse.

- Whoa! - Aah!

That is so typical of humans.

Just throwing things away without a word of warning.

- What is this thing? - It's a police badge.

My parents must have called the police when they saw I'd disappeared.

- When I disappear, mine invite people over to celebrate. Hmph!

- Are you sure this is the best way of getting to my world?

Watch out.

: Yuck. It's like a swamp.

- It's only mud. - Not quite.

Where did they all come from?

Three days of rain and you end up with

a mud feast for every bug in a 10-mile radius.

- Look at 'em. They'll eat anything. - Or anybody.

Selenia's right about us as a team.

We'll just end up getting in each other's way.

Hey. I'll let you two go ahead.

Good idea, huh? - I have a better one.

Hop on. We'll slide right over them.

All aboard the Bug Express.

Whoa!

How do you steer this thing?
