The film by Luc Besson, shot in August 2007, was made at the Cité du cinéma, property of the producer.

Adapted from the children's books by Céline Garcia and Luc Besson published in the early 2000s, the film combines animation and live action. This third and last part of the saga recounts the adventures of 10-year-old Arthur and his companions, beings 2 millimetres tall living in his grandmother's garden.

For this film of a war between the world of humans and the magical world of the Minimoys, Tank Rent provided its Scout Car M3 A1 and its Ford M8 dating from 1942 for the film crews. The Tank Rent vehicles were able to manoeuvre easily in Luc Besson's film studios.

This film depicts the Normandy landing on the morning of 6 June 1944. A squad of Rangers is ordered to find private Ryan, last survivor of four brothers, the others killed in combat.
