It is a French animation and I absolutely love it. The English title is "A Monster in Paris".
The story really is about a giant flea, but it's not an ordinary flea, because it/he can sing (although it/he can't talk). The action takes place in 1910 Paris, where the shy projectionist, Emile, who is in love with his colleague - Maud, and the eccentric delivery driver, Raoul, unintentionally create a monster-like flea. The flea is harmless, but the Parisians are scared of it. The cruel and ambitious Maynott plans to take advantage of the situation and by killing the flea to become a hero. However, the beautiful and talented Lucille, a cabaret singer, hears the flea's singing and gives him a name - Francœur. Together with Emile and Raoul, and a monkey, called Charles, she tries to protect the flea.

The art of the animation is very beautiful. It's a pleasure to watch it. And the scenes of Paris are lovely! The other thing I like about "A Monster in Paris" is that it's very funny, but it also has a deeper meaning - it's a story about humanity. The real monster doesn't always look like a monster. And I like French. I wish I could speak French! It's really a gorgeous film.
