Madeline: Lost in Paris
Movie • 1999 • Animation
ReportSynopsis
Madeline is the smallest of twelve girls in a boarding school, in an old house in Paris. When long lost Uncle Horst pays a surprise visit to Madeline, promising to move her to a new home in Vienna, her longing for a family seems to be fulfilled. Madeline becomes suspicious when her new Uncle loses his refined accent and takes an unexplained detour. Knowing she's in trouble Madeline leaves a trail. It then turns out that uncle Horst is actually Henri, a miserable lackey who works for an even more miserable woman who runs a dingy factory. Ultimately Madeline helps the orphans who work there by notifying the outside world of their plight.

When one of the girls is sick and doesn't do her work well enough, she's threatened with being forced to work on black lace. It is explained that this will ruin her eyesight.

Not a toy, but Madeline's necklace is taken apart to be used as a bread crumb trail. It is later put back together.

The villain woman is said to have begun kidnapping girls and running a sweatshop because of a traumatic experience in her former line of work as a dancer.

No one is tortured in the film. Madeline has her hair snipped, but no other girls have that happen to them during the story. They are depicted as sleeping on straw pallets in a dark basement.

Girls are being kept in a basement, made to sleep on straw, and forced to weave lace. They're malnourished and when their work isn't good enough, they're forced to work on black lace, which it is said will make them go blind. Madeline's hair is cut with the intention being that she will be forced to make lace from her own hair.

Madeline and the lace workers are orphans, but no deaths are shown onscreen. The girls literally say “Madeline has no family” at the beginning of the movie.
