Review of A Cat in Paris (2010) by Brodie A — 27 Apr 2013

Dino is a mischievous cat who lives a double life. During the day, he lives with a young girl, Zoe. His night companion is a man named Nico who is a burglar. For me, it's a very interesting story right off the bat. I've often imagined what some outdoor cats are up to while prowling the night.

Zoe lives a very lonely life. Her father was murdered and her mother is a very busy detective. Her mom spends most of her time trying to track down her husbands killer. Zoe seeks most of her comfort from her dear cat. One night she follows Dino and sees the slinky burglar for the first time. Zoe's night becomes more adventurous and dangerous while shes trying to get home. She overhears a pack of gangsters and is quickly discovered. It just so happens to be the same group and boss man that murdered her father. Nico and Dino bump into Zoe while she's on the run. Good thing for her or she wouldn't have any help on her side.

A Cat in Paris is a very fast paced movie. It's currently instantly viewable on Netflix. It's only one hour and five minutes long... so definitely worth a view. The animation is very different and unique. I really enjoyed the fiestyness of Dino. Nico may be a burglar but he is a very gentle man and helps Zoe every step of the way. Not many French accents but I'm sure there are several people living in Paris who are not actually French. There's a great action scene on and through Notre Dame. There are lots of great images of Paris via the rooftop chases. There are lovely views of the Eiffel Tower as well. The music was so fitting and everything meshed perfectly. My mind is still trying to wrap around the amazingness of the graphics.
