A Cat in Paris Snake: 8 Stifled: 9 JONA: 11 Ermine: 16 red: 16 scarlet: 16 Genny: 17 Inviso: 25 charon: 27 Johnbobb: 27 Karo: 31 Snake: The concept for this film hooked me right away! Its hilarious and serves as a nice parody of classic thriller/crime plots from the 40s but theres also some other influence in here too. The gangsters for example feel plucked from a Tarantino flick. I really enjoy the flat animation style which really stands out amongst its peers. Stifled: I didnt read the description before I started watching it, so I had no idea what to expect. Lighthearted talking animal flick? Some kind of dramatic indie take on The Aristocats? Was I going to have to worry about the poor meow meow getting killed? Thankfully none of those were correct. It was a...crime comedy with surprisingly dark themes and a bit of animal abuse? Huh. Well in any case, it was quite enjoyable, with an adorable ending. Steve Blum is always a win. Steve Blum with a cat that saves small children though? Big win. Traviss opinion: He LOVES cats. He meowed like crazy every time the cat came on the screen. JONA: This meowvie had me lured in with its children's picture book-like artstyle, with some very kitty backgrounds and some smooth jazz meowsic. The artstyle also makes the movie have simple animeowtion, but it just fits the film. Add in a cat burglar and some detective work and you've got something that's right up my alleycat. I also like the movies brief length that really helps the movie with its focus and doesnt let the film draguar but also doesnt make me feel cheetahd out of a full experience. The movie isnt purrfect though. The mooks felines of dialogue werent particularly funny and the scenes with Jeannes psyche couldve been subtler. A really enjoyable but simple movie. Its great style makes it a cat above the pack. Ermine: Short but sweet. I'm not really a biggest fan of the animation, but I was really digging the background music used throughout the film, especially the song used right before the credits. I think music in movies is criminally underrated and can really take scenes that extra mile. While the plot and story aren't anything amazing, it was still a fairly good watch. There are a couple problems I have with it, such as the villain kind of being more or less a huge idiot. I think some of the issues I have with it would be solved if the movie was more fleshed out so I won't fault it too much for that. As it is, "A Cat in Paris" is a solid film. red: A very simple movie that knows not to overstay its welcome. Its not a deep movie by any means, but is an entertaining story of a mother and daughter getting justice for their lost husband/father with the help of a good even though hes not so good thief. Also there is a cat that follows everyone around and is useful, because people like cats, or something. Nothing deep here, but not a total waste of an hour. --- :> Truly smilin' ...
