In a New York hospital, a police officer named Alex meets an eleven-year-old boy called Léo. Léo has the power to leave his body and move through walls, unseen by anyone. Alex has been injured by a disfigured gangster he was chasing and is confined to a hospital bed. The two form an unusual partnership, joined by Mary, a journalist, in an effort to stop the man who is threatening the city.
Phantom Boy is a 2015 animated film directed by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, who also wrote the screenplay. It follows their 2010 feature A Cat in Paris and precedes Nina and the Hedgehog's Secret from 2023. Jacques-Rémy Girerd produced. The voice cast is led by Édouard Baer, Audrey Tautou, Jackie Berroyer, Jean-Pierre Marielle and Gaspard Gagnol as Léo. Produced in Belgium and France with backing that includes Canal+, Ciné+, France 3 Cinéma and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Cinéma, it runs 82 minutes and blends animation with fantasy and mystery.
The film has drawn a modest but positive response from viewers. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.6 out of 10 from around 1,800 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 7 out of 10 from a smaller group of 74 votes. The two titles by Felicioli and Gagnol share a hand-drawn look and a Paris-set or city-based crime backdrop, though this one moves the action across the Atlantic.
