The Fabulous Voyage of the Angel (French: Le fabuleux voyage de l'ange) is a Canadian fantasy comedy film, directed by Jean Pierre Lefebvre and released in 1991.[1] The film stars Daniel Lavoie as Francis, a taxi driver and comic book artist who begins drawing a fantastical comic series about an intergalactic taxi driver in outer space, only to find that the stories he imagines for his comic strip start to materialize in real life.[2] The film also stars Geneviève Grandbois as Francis's daughter Ève, and Marcel Sabourin as his brother Rival.

Lavoie, a prominent singer-songwriter prior to his acting role in the film, also composed the music. Lavoie and Lefebvre received a Genie Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 12th Genie Awards, for "Quand tu partiras".[3]
