[edit] WikiProject class rating

Unresolved: Article still provides virtually no encyclopedic coverage of the film, even almost 3 years later.

This article was automatically assessed because at least one article was rated and this bot brought all the other ratings up to at least that level. BetacommandBot 08:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

And a human has re-rated it. This is clearly still a stub - even the IMDb page provides more information than this does. There's nothing here but the barest of statistical facts. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō Contribs. 03:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] "Plot" section needs work

Unresolved: Plot section needed improvement, but was mostly just deleted, and so needs to be rewritten.

While it's very informative, the Plot section is very disorganized and doesn't really follow the events of the movie in a coherent fashion. Oddity- (talk) 01:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Heh, one could say that the plot itself is not very coherent. ;) But the synopsis halts about halfway thru the movie, with no sense of how events in this movie, at points, are interrelated like parts of a Rube Goldberg machine. -- llywrch (talk) 01:53, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
As of my writing, the entire plot section has been reduced to two sentences. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō Contribs. 03:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Versions

There's a shorter (usual) cut at 1:12, and a longer 1:14 version released on region-free and possibly unofficial DVD (available on Amazon.com) called The City of Lost Children – As Originally Released (Korean release, with audio available in French or English, and subtitles available in French, English or Korean). This article should inform us as to the differences between the versions. I may order it and do the update myself, but anyone else should feel free to beat me to it. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō Contribs. 03:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] As example of Steampunk

Klaw, Rick (2008). "The Steam-Driven Time Machine: A Pop Culture Survey". In Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Steampunk. San Francisco, CA: Tachyon Publications. p. 355 This ref discusses the film as an example of Steampunk. Ref isn't incorporated into text of article yet, but is here to support category inclusion.
