''The Illusionauts'' (''Los ilusionautas'') is a 2012 Peruvian animated film. (Released on November 13, 2013 in the US as ''Freedom Force'' -- this is not related to the video game franchise ''VideoGame/FreedomForce''.)

A group of twelve-year-old kids are sent into the imagination of France's worst science fiction author, Jean Visogneaux, to set his sci-fi stories straight. While completing this mission, they have to use their skills to their advantage and work together as a team.

!!''The Illusionauts'' provides examples of:
* AerithAndBob: Nicole and Pascal are the only main characters with legitimate French names; Peter is an English name (its French equivalent would be ''Pierre''), and others have straight-up bizarre names like ''Aristotle'' and ''Profiterole''.
* ButtMonkey: Pascal, the team's inventor, is abused ''way'' too much throughout the film.
* ComedicLolicon: Pascal's behavior towards Nicole, a 12-year-old girl, looks suspiciously like he's interested in her.
* DeadGuyJunior: Nicole is named after her ancestor, who was Visogneaux's cousin [[KissingCousins whom he was in love with]].
* EdibleThemeNaming: Profiterole and his uncle Cognac. [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Seriously]].
* {{Gasshole}}: Profiterole. [[{{Fartillery}} He even uses it to his advantage]].
* GratuitousFrench: The English dub ''really'' wants you to know that the setting is in Paris, France. Chateau himself has an exaggerated French accent while everyone has a normal American accent.
* HenpeckedHusband: The President has to put up with an intensely demanding and entitled wife.
%%* JerkJock: Peter deals with two of these in the beginning.
* KidHero: All four heroes are specifically 12 years old in order to mirror the age at which Visogneaux was the most creative.
* KissingCousins: Jean Visogneaux was in love with and presumably married his cousin, from whom Nicole is descended. Pascal and Peter find this romantic, but she's disgusted.
%%* MadScientist: The Professor is called one. Maybe it doesn't help that his English actor is Creator/ChristopherLloyd.
* ResetButton: With the stories of Jean Visogneaux messed up by a villain, the mission for the team is to enter each Jules Verne story to find and trigger a hidden reset button which will reset the story to it's original state.
* RunningGag: The villain having a bug fly into his mouth whenever he does his EvilLaugh
%%* SatelliteLoveInterest: Nicole for Peter.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Nicole is the only female main character.
* TokenEvilTeammate: The blond guy has been working with Chateau while trying to sabotage the mission.
