    • Trivia
      The Marsupilami was created by André Franquin who is referenced twice in the movie: The scientific name of the Marsupilami, seen in a book, is "Marsupilami Franquini", and Pablito proudly shows a ball signed by the best baseball player in the country of Chiquito, Andreo Franquino - the signature seen is Franquin's, adding an "o" to both the name and the surname.
    • Crazy credits
      The following messages were interspersed in the credits: "Houba Hop!" "Muchas gracias amigos" "Vive le Mexique et les Mexicans!" "Visitez la Palombie. Sa Forêt Tropicale, son Volcan, ses Marsupilamis (then in the next line the country's motto) Palombia : Palompeu, Palombien" "Merci les Magiciens".

    A wonderful movie for the whole family!! Marsupilami Rocks!!!

    A wonderful movie for the whole family with lots of humor and stunning action from Marsupilami. Alen Chabat (Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatre-RRRrrrr!!!) made a miracle film with Jamel Debbouze in a hilarious role. Fred Testot is wonderful as Hermoso and one of my favorite scene Lambert Wilson as Celine Dion biggest fan ever sing "I'm Alive" back soundtrack from the song. A Must-See Movie for whole family!! Marsupilami Rocks!!! Congratulations to the creators of the movie.
