Hugo is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful orphan boy whose quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him. In resourceful orphan Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield, an Oliver Twist-like charmer), Martin Scorsese finds the perfect vessel for his silver-screen passion: this is a movie about movies (fittingly, the 3-D effects are spectacular). After his clockmaker father (Jude Law) perishes in a museum fire, Hugo goes to live with his Uncle Claude (Ray Winstone), a drunkard who maintains the clocks at a Paris train station. When Claude disappears, Hugo carries on his work and fends for himself by stealing food from area merchants. In his free time, he attempts to repair an automaton his father rescued from the museum, while trying to evade the station inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen), a World War I veteran with no sympathy for lawbreakers. When Georges (Ben Kingsley), a toymaker, catches Hugo stealing parts for his mechanical man, he recruits him as an assistant to repay his debt. If Georges is guarded, his open-hearted ward, Isabelle (Chloë Moretz), introduces Hugo to a kindly bookseller (Christopher Lee), who directs them to a motion-picture museum, where they meet film scholar René ( Boardwalk Empire's Michael Stuhlbarg). In helping unlock the secret of the automaton, they learn about the roots of cinema, starting with the Lumière brothers, and give a forgotten movie pioneer his due, thus illustrating the importance of film preservation, a cause to which the director has dedicated his life. If Scorsese's adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret isn't his most autobiographical work, it just may be his most personal. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Review: A Trip to the Movies - This movie is filled with wonderful performances by the actors. It is a tale of a child's journey from loneliness into a world of wonders and it is beautifully told. Martin Scorsese has produced a fine work of cinema, which is fitting considering that it deals with one of the pioneers of modern film making, George Melies. It has adventure, humour and drama, I felt uplifted by the film's ending. This is a true family film. I particularly liked Sacha Baron Cohen as the Policeman, don't think of his other roles if that might put you off, his portrayal is funny and well balanced, not over the top. As a consequence of watching this film, I also learned a great deal about George Melies, of whom I knew nothing before. Although the story of Hugo is fictional, there are many elements of Melies real life that are incorporated here and give a fascinating insight into early cinema. Although it is obvious some scenes had 3D in mind when they shot them, I didn't feel that I got any less out of the film for watching it in 2D. If you love cinema, you will love this film. I would also recommend the book that it is based on and the DVD of Melies "A Trip to the Moon", which includes some excellent background material on him. Review: Hugo (Blu-ray version) - Martin Scorsese directs this family friendly tale set in Paris in the 1930’s released at the cinema in the US and the UK in November of 2011 the story about an orphan living in the walls of a train station who is trying to unravel a mystery left by his late Father concerning an automaton the cast is headed-up by Sir Ben Kingsley who is ably supported by Asa Butterfield Chloë Grace Moretz in the roles of the children in fact the whole cast do a superb job the only miscast role in my option is that of the Station Inspector who is played by English born actor Sacha Baron Cohen, he comes across as a man out of his depth I keep expecting him to start one his awful creations instead of the character of the Train Inspector who to my mind should have all the personality of the child-catcher in Chitty Bang-Bang with all his redeeming qualities. That being said Scorsese has an amazing job of bringing to life the sights and sounds of 1930’s Paris with all its characteristics and locations. This single 50 GB region B locked disc is encoded with the MPEG-4 AVC codec is in full 1080p resolution and in the original cinema release’s aspect ratio of 1.85.1 the picture is so clear I would say it is of reference standard and could be used to test audio equipment and TV’s with its marvellous palette of colours and range of blacks in the scenes where there a great deal of shadows the audio track is in English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1, the audio track wonderfully recreates the sound and atmosphere of a 30’s railway Station with hissing from the steam engines to the whirring and clicking of the clocks with their complex gear wheels meshing together as the clocks keep time in the station all the while the actors dialogue is easily heard and is always clear but when needed the track delivery’s big bass sounds. There is also a 3D version of the feature, dual format disc is a great idea which if the film companies had done from the start of the 3D revival maybe more people would have embraced the format, I cannot comment on 3D as I do not have access to 3D playback at the time of writing there are only one set of subtitles in English for the Hard of Hearing The Bonus Material on the disc is as follows: - Shoot the Moon (The making of Hugo) The Cinmagician, Georges Méliès, The Mechanical Man at the Heart of Hugo, Big Effects, Small Scale, Sacha Baron Cohen: Role of a Lifetime. A great disc to watch with the kids and must have in a Blu-ray collection.... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Chloë Moretz, Jude Law, Martin Scorsese, Ray Winstone | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 911 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Genre | Fantasy | | Initial release date | 2012-04-02T00:00:01Z | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Entertainment in Video | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 6 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Fantasy - **Format:** PAL - **Contributor:** Martin Scorsese, Asa Butterfield, Ray Winstone, Chloë Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Jude Law - **Initial release date:** 2012-04-02T00:00:01Z - **Language:** English ## Images ![Hugo (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray) (2011) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sOaTNXvJL.jpg) ![Hugo (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray) (2011) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b3ivlVnZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Trip to the Movies *by T***N on 22 January 2014* This movie is filled with wonderful performances by the actors.

YOU NEED to watch Hugo NOW. ;) *by L***S on 10 July 2012* If you're reading my review, either you know of Carlos Zafon's books and you are compelled by my reference or you haven't got a clue of what am i talking about and so you're curious to see why i posted a title like that. If you know of Carlos Zafon's books and you're still here reading this, chances are that you absolutely loved his novels such as "The Shadow of the Wind"',"Angel's Game" and "Marina", at the most. So...if just by me mentioning Zafon's "The Shadow of the Wind" is enough for you to recall that haunted, poetic and beautiful atmosphere from his books, well strangely enough it's all here exactly like that in this Scorcese movie ! Because...Watching Hugo is like reading the Carlos Ruiz Zafon book he never wrote but could have written and this is very hard to explain to people who haven't experienced this film knowing about novels like "The Shadow of the Wind". The way the plot feels almost non existent if you're expecting it to be like a typical Hollywood movie where everything has to be explained , defined and mixed with action scenes every ten minutes. The way it creates a magical world based on real places as Scorcese does with Paris in the movie what Zafon does it with Barcelona in his novels. The way characters are all weaved into the atmosphere of the place and although their stories don't need to touch they are all part of the same magical universe, which has magic without the need to have traditional fairytale or fantasy stuff in. Christopher Lee in this movie plays exactly the same character you can find in Zafons novel , The Shadow of the Wind as the secret library book keeper!! So what does this all mean if you're just a casual movie goer, don't like to read and you're expecting Hugo to be like a typical action packed fantasy movie for kids ?... Well , it isn't, you've been fooled by the trailer and Hugo is not the new Harry Potter. Deal with it ! By saying this i really cannot believe that so many people attack Hugo here in IMDb, mostly because they though the trailer mislead them. You're fooled, so what ? Why throw your anger at the movie because some wise guy at the marketing department sold it as something that is not ? Why cant these angry reviewers just try to enjoy this movie for what it is ?! A fantastic but most of all - a different (!!) Hollywood movie coming out of studios that usually just throw another brainless Transformer (or clone) at you every other weekend. There's nothing wrong with the plot in Hugo. It's simple but its incredibly well done and contrary to what some bad reviews said, it was a joy to follow the (obvious) mystery, because the magic in this movie was not in th mystery or in he suspense scenes (much less in the action scenes) , but in the general ensemble final atmosphere that every little piece of the visual puzzle created. Sets, characters, world and love for the cinema. Also, i didn't think this is a movie for kids, or at least its not a kids movie for sure. Its just a movie with kids in it ! And probably one of the best and most beautiful looking movies i ever seen. If you like illustration or you're an illustrator you'll love this film to death. Its a visual steam-punk masterpiece. Contrary to what some other viewers felt, personally, i cannot compare it to Cinema Paradiso because for me the real footage from Meliés movies didn't affected me at all with the same dramatic punch Tornatore's movie did at the end and so to me if there was something missing from Hugo was a bit of emotion and also character development because in some parts of the movie i wanted to see more of the many characters and little stories but they're never fully developed. But i liked the little touches, i was captivated by the small glimpses of love-stories and really liked Sacha Baron Choen character which to me is really the heart of the movie in a strange kind of way that maybe shouldn't have been like that. Overall i think this is a fantastic and unique movie and one of the best American love letters to cinema I've ever seen. I wished it could be as emotional as Cinema Paradiso but it isn't and that is the only reason i don't give it five stars. Otherwise its brilliant, poetic and beautiful in more than one way. Although i agree a little bit with people who said the documentary style stuff stalls the plot and makes some parts of Hugo seem like they belong in a different movie. I agree that was not a good choice by Scorcese and to me th repetition of those bits in the second half of the story really toned down the dramatic effect and shouldn't have been done like that at all. The way the real footage was inserted felt too intrusive and split the movie in pieces for too many seconds several times when it needed to create more empathy with the audience and the characters. Anyway... If you don't go into it expecting the usual Hollywood crap blockbuster you'll enjoy the way the story is weaved. Above all if you like books and have a passion for cinema you wont forget Hugo so soon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hugo (Blu-ray 3D) - Life Of Pi - Gravity (BD) [Blu-ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48046816-hugo-blu-ray-3d-blu-ray-2011](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48046816-hugo-blu-ray-3d-blu-ray-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
