Hugo

Synopsis: Hugo is an orphan boy living in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. He learned to fix clocks and other gadgets from his father and uncle which he puts to use keeping the train station clocks running. The only thing that he has left that connects him to his dead father is an automaton (mechanical man) that doesn't work without a special key. Hugo needs to find the key to unlock the secret he believes it contains. On his adventures, he meets George Melies, a shopkeeper, who works in the train station, and his adventure-seeking god-daughter. Hugo finds that they have a surprising connection to his father and the automaton, and he discovers it unlocks some memories the old man has buried inside regarding his past.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, madame.
- Good morning.
- Hello.
New delivery. I'm sure you've
got some excellent books there.
Got you at last!
Not the first time you've stolen
from me, is it, my little thief?!
- Hm? Quick, empty your pockets.
- You're hurting me!
Empty your pockets,
or I'll call the Station Inspector.
Do as I say!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
What are you doing with all these?
- And the other one.
- There's nothing in it.
Where's the Station Inspector?!
Ghosts.
Did you draw these pictures?
Did you draw these pictures?
Where did you steal this?
- I didn't steal it.
- You're a thief and a liar.
- Get out of here.
- Give me my notebook!
It's no longer your notebook!
It is my notebook and I'll do with it
what I like! Maybe I'll just burn it!
- No!
- Then tell me who did the drawings!
Get out of here, you little thief!
Why are you still here?
- Go!
- Maximilian, do you hear an atrocity'?
Calamity? Corruption? Go!
Excuse me, excuse me!
Move aside!
Move aside! Gangway!
Move, move!
Stand aside!
What?!
- Ah! A wolf!
Move, move! Ah!
As you were.
Move!
Stop that child! Apprehend!
Monsieur Frick!
Hey! Move aside!
Whoa!
- Move!
- Whoa!
- Move!
- Pardon me!
- Sir, move!
Malediction!
Oh! No! Stop the train!
Hold the train! Whoa!
Help! Help! Assistance!
Oh! Hold it, hold the train!
Move the bag! Move the bag!
Ohhh! Oh! No!
- Oh, my God! I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry.
No, no, no.
That was very, very bad.
I know you're there.
What's your name, boy'?
Hugo. Hugo Cabret.
Stay away from me, Hugo Cabret.
Or I'll drag you
to the Station Inspector's office.
He'll lock you up in his little cell,
and you'll never get out,
you'll never go to school,
you will never get married
and have children of your own
to take things
that don't belong to them.
Give me back my notebook.
I'm going home to burn your notebook.
- You can't burn my notebook.
- And who's to stop me'?
Oh, you look so cold.
I'm very hot.
He's really upset me.
- Who's really upset you?
- That child.
Who are you?
Your grandfather stole my notebook.
I've got to get it back
before he burns it.
Papa Georges isn't my grandfather.
And he isn't a thief.
You're the thief.
You're nothing but a...
a reprobate.
- You'll have to go.
- Not without my notebook.
Why do you need it so badly'?
I can't tell you.
Is it a secret?
- Yes.
- Oh, good, I love secrets.
- Tell me this instant.
- No.
Well, if you won't tell me,
then you'll have to leave.
- Not without my notebook!
- Shh!
I'll get in trouble.
Just go home.
All right.
I'll make sure he doesn't
burn your notebook.
Now go.
What is it?
It's called an automaton.
An aut... An automaton?
I found him abandoned
in the attic at the museum.
What does he do?
He's a windup figure,
like a music box.
This is the most complicated one
I've ever seen... by far.
You see, this one...
this one can write.
It must've been made in London.
Where Mother was from.
She was from Coventry, but she...
moved to London.
Magicians used machines like this
when I was a boy.
Some walked, some danced,
some sang.
But the secret was always
in the clockwork.
Huh, look at that.
Can we fix him?
Oh, I don't know, Hugo.
He's badly rusted.
And finding parts to fit
will be very hard.
Of course we can fix him.
We're clockmakers, aren't we?
But only after I've finished
my work at the shop
and at the museum, hmm?
You understand.
We'll put this back in.
Just steady it...
Perfect.
You see this?
Another complication.
Another mystery.
That makes you happy.
