A Cat in Paris Reviews

This film is gorgeous.

| Feb 13, 2019

This is some dark stuff for a children's movie. But the story is told with charming, hand-drawn animation, making it much less frightening than it would be in live action.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 29, 2018

The animation and style is wonderful, the voice acting is great, the story is fantastic and you absolutely won't regret checking this film out.

The film's stylized visuals combine simplistic, geometric figures with more elaborate and distinctive backgrounds that effectively provide a sense of place.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 7, 2018

...has a delightfully idiosyncratic animated aesthetic - it's like an intermingling of Art Deco and Cubism - but the story is all odd angles

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 21, 2013

In this chase film, children's love of pursuit, of running and jumping and hiding and seeking, transforms the City of Lights into a playground where even a mother bounds along car roofs to reach her daughter. The story, though, lags behind the animation.

This French import is a welcome (read: hand-drawn as opposed to CGI) movie that packs a lot of punch in its hour-long running time.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 13, 2012

It's a fun and exciting film that both kids and adults can enjoy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2012

A Cat in Paris is thrilling, and a thrilling example of traditional ink and paint cartooning.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 30, 2012

Come for the film, stay for the urban-mural visuals, leave vaguely satisfied.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 25, 2012

Twentysomething caped-crusader fans may get a warmer buzz of nostalgia here than they will at The Dark Knight Rises.

| Jul 27, 2012

While the fluid hand-drawn animation provides a pleasant stylistic alternative to the predominance of 3D computer animation in the marketplace, the story leaves a lot to be desired.

| Original Score: C | Jul 26, 2012

[It] glories in striking silhouettes, a slinky '50s beat, a bright storybook palette and an entrancing brand of make-believe that grown-ups can believe in.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 26, 2012

An animated delight, and certainly not just for kids.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 13, 2012

Animated thriller's action makes it best for older kids.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 10, 2012

Imagine Disney's The Rescuers had it been directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and you're zeroing in on the tone of this Oscar-nominated charmer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2012

"A Cat in Paris" has a jazzy, relaxed beauty; it's old-school, hand-drawn animation, and you sense the fun the artists were having.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 5, 2012

If you're an animation buff or a lover of Paris, you won't be disappointed.

| Original Score: A min us | Jun 29, 2012

At a little over an hour, it's a slight but visually charming adventure.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 29, 2012

Like a cat nap, it gives us a brief, refreshing dream with little to remember.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 29, 2012
