Product Description

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animation in 2012, A Cat in Paris is a delightful jazzy noir animation that will appeal to children and adults in equal measure. Dino is a cool cat. By day, he lives with a little girl called Zoe, whose mother is a police officer. By night, he works with Nico, a jewellery thief with a big heart. When Dino gives Zoe a present of a diamond bracelet it’s not long before the police are trying to track down the thief. Trying to protect Dino, Zoe follows him and unwittingly stumbles on a team of gangsters who have a big robbery in mind. Zoe finds herself in danger and it’s up to Dino and Nico to try and save her.

5.0 out of 5 stars full of character, great fun - very French! 5 July 2012
By Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a completely charming, in places very funny hour-long animation from France. Zoe's cat has a double life - house pet during the day, accomplice to a cat burglar by night. Zoe herself is troubled. Her father, a policeman, has been shot and killed by the notorious Costa, and her mother, also a police officer, is out to catch him, so she works long hours ; Zoe herself, traumatised, has lost the power of speech. The two strands - Costa-chasing and the cat's night existence - come together in a fast-paced and exciting plot, with many ingenious and unexpectedly comic moments (for example, in the several appearances of a little dog called Rufus). The animation itself is very characterful, with splendid shots of Parisian rooftops, the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame, where the final climax happens. The style is a little like the cartoonist Fougasse. It's colourful and always attractive. We took our 4-year-old grandson to see it and he was completely engrossed - and so were we. The only slight quibble I have - which would not trouble a child at all - is the unconvincing melange of accents they've used in the English dubbing on the DVD ; American, Irish, cod German and Docklands London. Why? But it really doesn't spoil the film - and you are offered the option of the original French with subtitles.

3.0 out of 5 stars mixed thoughts 22 Feb 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
the animation is very likeable but from the trailer i thought the roof-top action was going to be more spectacular. My 2.5 year old likes it, the climax made a big impression but is hard to explain concept of madness followed by (implied) grisly death.... also this film starts its storyline with death, the death of the little girl's father, and her mum is a police detective so there is a number of guns and shooting incidents.... i would say if i had known about the guns i wouldn't have bought it and that you should alway view pg rated things before deciding whether you want to share them with your little ones. it's not too bad, not like some other stuff, i'm just saying the content wants a lot of parental explaination along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars La Vie de Chat (A Cat in Paris) 15 Jan 2013
By Ogbeni
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A most excellent animation enjoyed by all ages! Viva La France! The visual animation, Serge Bisset's soundtrack, action sequences and storyline is so engaging. The children have now watched it in double figures within 2 weeks of its purchase! This is a quality childrens film which makes up for the weekly limited TV allocation for the young ones. The French version is even better than the English version, which I felt had a gamut of unrealistic "english" accents (this is not a criticism but an observation). Highly recommended and beats the "Hollywood Superfluities" hands-down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not feline enough
Im not a fan of animation, as I find the constant movement distracts me from the characterisation and the story. This is the case in this curious film. Read more
