Best movie of this year hands down!

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kitten is abandoned, finds its way to a magicians house with other wacky characters, fights against evil man etc. and that's it. This is a movie with standard script without real surprises. Animation quality is good and on par with DreamWorks. But the problem? The movie is boring. Graphics are good but the characters are unforgettable. And the humor is so politically correct that it fails to amuse anyone. I watched the flick with 5 and 9 year old kids and neither laughed a single time. I myself started reading a book after the first 45 minutes.It's a shame that obviously there's a lot of effort used for the movie, but once again the script would have to be re-done. And next time hire someone who can actually write funny dialogue. And since the movie is European, then please bravely use the an European angle and the Belgium twists for visuals and gags. Now it's just watered down Dreamworks copy.

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.

I never write reviews about movies but I was so let down with this movie that I had to. I took my 4 year old to see this based on a lot of the positive reviews. First of all, to be fair, the animation is pretty good. That's the only good thing. This movie was disturbingly hostile from the very start. Almost every major scene revolves around someone hurting someone else. This fact overrides any positive messages in the movie, in my opinion. The word 'd*mn' is used at least 3 times from what I can recall, if not more. It's one thing when your kids hear that kind of language from strangers in public places but it's another thing to have it delivered to them in a children's movie. I've seen a lot of kids movies but can't think of one that has a level of hostility/violence anything close to this (harshly abandoning a kitten, trying to shoot a kitten with a shotgun, bulldozing a house, sending an old man to the hospital, the list goes on). I regret taking my daughter to see it and the money I paid to see this was a total waste.

The story of the abandoned cat whose cruel owner dumps him when they move house.Alone and unprotected the lovely cat faces a difficult challenge for survival and as he wanders the streets manages to enter a house that had already other animals in it as well as various gadgets. The owner embraces him instantly but some of the other guests are reluctant to accept him and so he has to earn their trust.The opportunity to do so will come as a wicked nephew wants to sell the house.An appealing story combined with high quality visuals, giving us an angle of the world from the point of view of a small animal. Various themes are involved such as abandonment, new beginnings, fitting in and proving oneself.When it comes to protecting our home, one better not underestimate the determination of even the smallest of opponents.It will surely delight children without leaving the adults unimpressed either.
