About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a family-friendly, suspenseful Paris caper with a distinctive look and quick momentum, similar in spirit to Phantom Boy or A Monster in Paris; Not for you if you need a longer, deeper, highly original story.

Pros: stylish hand-drawn look; brisk mystery thrills; heart and humor | Cons: very short runtime; uneven pacing at times; familiar crime beats
