They're advertising a new animated movie type thing called Arthur and the Invisibles, though currently IMDB only lists it as Arthur et les Minimoys. I noted the writer/director was Luc Besson, who definitely looks like the uncle who should not be minding the children.
I then noticed that Besson is responsible for at least two movies I really like. One is The Fifth Element, which makes sense, keeping with the fantasy genre of the first movie. The other is The Professional, aka Leon, which is a different movie entirely.
The Professional is exceptional; violent, artistic, quirky, sympathetic. The lead, Leon, is played by
Jean Reno, who I recently noted to someone was the ugliest leading man in Hollywood. Reno is also brilliant, always fun to watch, even the bit parts he usually get's in the big stuff, e.g. Mission: Impossible.
Might have to see Arthur :p

Seeing it now, you can see other things it's influenced. The little girl is Natalie Portman, which is amusing in it's own right. The actor playing the big bad guy (Gary Oldman) also played the big bad guy in The Fifth Element.

I was shocked to find that Jean Reno is actually "Don Juan Moreno Errere y Rimenes", a Spanish national. Always thought of him as horribly French, even when he's not supposed to be.
