''Phantom Boy'' is a [[FrenchMedia French]]-[[BelgianMedia Belgian]] [[AnimatedFilms Animated]] {{Fantasy}} movie by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol.

UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity is facing a new threat. A mysterious criminal mastermind with [[FacialHorror a ridiculously scarred face]] is threatening to destroy the city's infrastructure with a computer virus that's been let into its network. He will only relent if he's payed one billion dollars.

Who can save the city? Unbelievably, the city's best hope comes not from the most awesome CowboyCop the city can employ. Nope, it comes from, get this, wheelchair-bound police Lieutenant Alex Tanner (Edouard Baer/Creator/JaredPadalecki) and young Leo (Gaspard Gagnol/Marcus D'Angelo), a young boy with cancer who has the ability to [[AstralProjection leave his body at will]]. These two will have to work together to save the city from catastrophe.

The movie was released on September 12th, 2015.

!!''Phantom Boy'' contains examples of:
* AstralProjection: Leo's condition somehow grants him the ability to leave his body at will and fly all over the city. [[spoiler:However, his soul starts disintegrating if he stays out of his body for too long.]]
* BigBad: The Face, a crook who plans to destroy the city's infrastructure with a computer virus if his demands aren't met.
* FacialHorror: The Face's face looks like a Picasso painting. Don't believe me? [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRLHrkRYD5YHFRShtNUSBhEB0ENYvdncdTgyA&usqp=CAU See for yourself.]]
* MismatchedEyes: The Face has one round eye, and one slanted eye.
* MisterMuffykins: The crooks of the movie have a scruffy, yappie, tempermental little dog among their ranks. One of them sums him up nicely.
-->'''Crook:''' This dog has the soul of a shark in the body of a squirrel.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Face's real name is never given.
* TheUnreveal: At many points throughout the movie, the audience is set up to think they'll hear how The Face got his scars. Each time, it's averted. [[spoiler:It even happens one last time at the end.]]
