Captain Morten And The Spider Queen - Official French Trailer
Capitaine Morten et la Reine Des Araignees.
Morten rêve de prendre le large à bord de La Salamandre, avec son père le Capitaine Vicks, mais il doit rester à terre chez l'autoritaire Annabelle. Avec son complice Stinger, Annabelle veut s'emparer du bateau de son père, persuadée qu'il cache un trésor de pirates. Pour déjouer leurs plans, Morten va être entraîné dans une aventure fantastique. Réduit à la taille d'un insecte par un magicien farfelu, c'est dans le monde de la Reine des araignées qu'il va devoir conquérir ses galons de capitaine.
Dreamy, 10-year-old Morten whiles away his days building his toy ship and trying to avoid the ire of his reluctant guardian: Mean spinster, Anna. It goes some way to distracting him from missing his Father, Captain Viks, who is away at sea. One day Morten hopes to be a Captain, just like him.After a chance meeting with the inept magician Senór Cucaracha, 8-year-old Morten is magically shrunken down to the size of an insect and trapped aboard the deck of his own toy-ship! But with a wicked Spider Queen and Scorpion Pirate already aboard, being Captain is going to be anything but child’s play!
