InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
mysticgypsyy Spoiler alert......It was an okay storyline, but the Daniel character has issues saying the word damn over & over & over again. It might be okay if it was just once or twice, but we counted about 6x in about 20 min. Also when he shoots at a cat a bunch of times with a shotgun, it's a teency bit much. I wouldn't recommend this for small children. Unless you skip through those parts ;) other than that & a couple other scenes, it was okay. Our kids liked it.
rbf08 The film is a mediocre storyline of an abandoned cat that ends up being adopted by a magician. Typical children's story.However, the villain has a propensity to shout "Damn Cat!" anytime he involved with the cat. This was rated G, wasn't it? The animation is good, and seems to play off some sort of 3d effects throughout. Not the same level of animation as Pixar or Dreamworks, but still pretty good quality.Watch it if you are bored and need a cheap film to entertain the kids for an hour and a half.I would give the film the following ratings:Story- 3/5 Characters- 2.5/5 Animation- 4.5/5 Cheesy reference to the film "Big" - 7.5/5
christine-122-818786 This movie goes way too far with the violence.It has an adult that goes completely mad and tries to kill a cat with a shotgun. There is a lot of guns and violence in a lot of kids movies, but this somehow goes way too far.I found myself sitting with my three young children completely stunned. It spiraled way out of control.The animation was fantastic and it started out being a fairly nice entertaining film. And then it all goes horribly wrong. This was a big fail for me. Why fill a kids movie with so much violence and a shot gun?
Gordon Cheatham (cheathamg) It seemed as if the primary emphasis of this movie was to demonstrate the 3-D aspects. There were objects, cats, rabbits and other characters constantly plummeting into the audience's faces. The storyline was simplistic and the characterizations even more so. While the artwork was overall professional, it suffered from its being made subservient to the aforementioned third dimension chaos. Even though it was set in Massachusetts, it was made in Europe, Belgium to be specific, and perhaps because of the euro orientation of its creators, it contains certain elements that some Americans might find offensive, i.e. cultural stereotypes. As I said, it's a child's movie, although I hate to think of anyone intentionally making a stupid movie for a child.
