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. desertcart.co.uk Review 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. 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: Unusual - Love this film. Unusual, well acted. It is rooted in reality and fantasy at the same time and has a great ending. Review: Original, quirky and fascinating - This superb movie, set in 1931, has it all - interesting characters (some of whom actually existed), unusual locations, great music and world class acting. The cast includes many big names and the director is the legendary Martin Scorsese. The special effects, both visual and aural, are exceptional with 3-D that is realistic without being overdone. Asa Butterfield plays the neglected and unwanted orphan Hugo Cabret with remarkable sensitivity and composure, a faultless performance worthy of an Oscar in my opinion. Hugo lives secretly in the Gare Montparnasse (a railway station in Paris), where he looks after the clocks. His biggest problem is the prowling station inspector, a cruel and obsessive man who likes nothing better than to catch homeless orphans, trap them in a cage and then hand them over to the local orphanage, which by all accounts is not a good place to be. But he is also clumsy and inept and he provides the film with much humour. The inimitable Sacha Baron Cohen does the honours here and he is on top form! Hugo's unhappy existence begins to change when he befriends Isabelle(Chloe Grace Moretz), a precocious but caring girl whose Godfather is an old man who owns a kiosk in the station and whose hidden but interesting past is destined to be rediscovered.(He is played by Ben Kingsley, one of our finest character actors).Jude Law appears briefly as Hugo's father in a flashback scene and Christopher Lee,looking as menacing as ever, is actually an amiable librarian and one of the few people to show Hugo any respect or kindness. I don't want to reveal too much about the plot, but there is a happy ending, unlike one of Asa's previous films,"The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas",whose closing scenes are the most heartbreaking and disturbing I have ever seen. "Hugo" is a hugely enjoyable and often surprising movie with a complex storyline that gradually draws you in. Brilliant and refreshingly different! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0064YOKR0 | | Actors | Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Chloë Grace Moretz, Jude Law, Sacha Baron Cohen | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 14,058 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 923 in Fantasy (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,127 in Children & Family (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,332 in Science Fiction (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,408) | | Director | Martin Scorsese | | Dubbed: | English | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | 5017239197079 | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 70 g | | Release date | 2 April 2012 | | Run time | 2 hours and 1 minute | | Studio | Entertainment in Video | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Anamorphic, Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL, Widescreen - **Genre:** children_&_family - **Initial release date:** 2012-04-02T00:00:01Z - **Language:** English ## Images ![Hugo [2011] [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fNgJW9BtL.jpg) ![Hugo [2011] [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Zz-0YsLUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unusual *by L***E on 24 March 2026* Love this film.

What's not to like ? *by H***E on 28 December 2012* Richard Adams of "Watership Down" fame said something like "If you ask some one 'Did you read this book?' and they answer 'No, but I saw the film.', they may as well say 'No, but I had breakfast this morning.' They are that different." OK, quote not perfect, but you get the idea. So, do not compare this film with the book which is itself a delight with its unusual format and structure. It was clear that big changes were necessary to make a movie, so you have just to accept that. So, to the film. It looks marvellous, and works in 2-d beautifully, unlike some movies which need 3D because they don't have a plot. Here, there are scenes that will clearly be more dramatic in 3-d, but I managed quite nicely. There are some nice little homages to early cinema. The renditions of Melies' work and his movies are marvellous. Several pleasant little sub-stories are woven in. The cast all do what's required, even if there are no acting Oscars coming here. Ben Kingsley is a joy to watch as usual. The basic story of challenged orphan with a mission is not new, but done well enough; predictable hurdles are overcome in familiar style. I'm far from being a big Scorsese fan, but there are a number of things I enjoy in his CV. I cannot think of a single negative thing to say about this movie; the two hour running time just flies past, and for the first time, I enjoyed watching Sacha Baron Cohen. And yet, it's perhaps not involving enough to earn five stars, but a very solid 4. Don't listen to the naysayers; if you're a sucker for simple joyful storytelling, young or old, just watch it. Charming, delightful, delicious- all those words and a few more. When I've re-read the book, and given this a second watching, I may up this to five stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hugo [2011] [DVD] [2017] - The Invention of Hugo Cabret --- ## 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.in/products/48765748-hugo-2011-dvd](https://www.desertcart.in/products/48765748-hugo-2011-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
