The Weinstein brothers are continuing their love affair with all things animated.

They’ve bought up the rights to Luc Besson’s Arthur And The Minimoys, the blend of live action and CG he’s spent 3 ½ years producing based on his kids' book.

The movie sees 10-year-old Arthur (Freddie Highmore) who ventures into the world of the Minimoys in the search for treasure to save his grandmother. The likes of Mia Farrow, David Bowie and Snoop Dogg have lent their voices to the film.
