Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard

Arthur est au comble de l'excitation : c'est aujourd'hui la fin du dixième cycle de la Lune, et il va enfin pouvoir regagner le monde des Minimoys pour y retrouver Sélénia. Dans le village, tout est prêt pour l'accueillir : un grand banquet a été organisé en son honneur, et la petite princesse a passé sa robe en pétales de rose... C'est sans compter le père d'Arthur, qui choisit précisément ce jour tant attendu pour quitter plus tôt que prévu la maison de sa grand-mère. Au moment du départ, une araignée dépose dans les mains du jeune garçon un grain de riz sur lequel est gravé un message de détresse. Pas de doute, Sélénia est en danger, et Arthur n'a plus qu'une idée en tête : voler à son secours ! Quitte à employer un passage de fortune, tomber tête la première dans le bar de Max, se heurter aux troupes de Kröb, le nouveau tyran des Sept Terres, secourir Bétamèche, combattre des rats, des grenouilles, des araignées velues... et découvrir, une fois arrivé au village des Mimimoys, qu'aucun message de secours ne lui a été envoyé ! Mais qui donc a bien pu piéger ainsi notre jeune héros ?

Artur está em êxtase pois nessa noite será o décimo ciclo da lua e ele poderá, finalmente, regressar à terra dos Minimeus e reencontrar Selénia. Na vila, os Minimeus prepararam um grande banquete em sua honra e a jovem princesa usa o seu vestido de pétalas de rosa. Mas o pai de Artur escolhe este dia tão aguardado para anunciar o fim das suas férias na casa da Avó. Quando se preparam para regressar, uma aranha deposita um grão de arroz na mão de Artur com a sigla S.O.S. gravada. Não há dúvida, Selénia está em perigo!

Three years have passed since Arthur has saved his grandparents home and saved the minimoys from the evil M known as Maltazard, Arthur stays with his grandparents for the holidays, during which the Bogo Matassalai (a fictitious African society) assign Arthur a series of tests including camouflage and environmental nonviolence. Having passed these tests, Arthur prepares to see the Minimoys to celebrate, until his father decides to take him and his mother back to the metropolis. When a spider gives Arthur a grain of rice containing a distress-call, which he believes has come from the Minimoys, he returns to his grandparents' house, where the Bogo Matassalai's attempt to give him Minimoy stature through a telescope fails, and they instead wrap him in vines of increasing tightness until he falls in a drop of sap into the Minimoy Max's bar. ''En route'' to investigate the Minimoys' condition, Arthur and Max rescue Betameche, who leads Arthur to the King. He then learns that Selenia is held by Maltazard, who is inspired to invade the human world by increasing his own size. Maltazard tricks the Minimoys into completing this design. The telescope itself is destroyed in the process, leaving Arthur trapped at his Minimoy size.

O menino Arthur recebe um pedido de socorro dos Minimoys, os pequenos seres invisíveis que moram no seu quintal. Para ajudá-los, ele deve mais uma vez passar pelo ritual que o transforma em miniatura, embarcar em uma perigosa aventura, enfrentar o vilão Maltazard e salvar a princesa Selenia.
