Product Description

The Academy Award-nominated A CAT IN PARIS is a beautifully hand-drawn caper set in the shadow-drenched alleyways of Paris. Dino is a cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little girl whose mother is a detective in the Parisian police force. But at night Dino sneaks out the window to work with Nico a slinky cat burglar with a big heart, whose fluid movements are poetry in motion as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris skyline. A CAT IN PARIS is a delightful animated adventure perfect for both adults and children a witty and stylish "animated noir" with a jazzy soundtrack featuring Billie Holiday and a thrilling climax on top of Notre Dame cathedral.

Featuring the voices of Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden (Mystic River), Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston (The Royal Tenenbaums) and Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket).

A Cat in Paris is one of those rare family films that can be truly enjoyed--relished--by adults as well as children. The French film, dubbed in English by an incredible cast, is a gloriously sensual visual delight. The colors and graphics are sophisticated and captivating, only adding to the offbeat and engaging story. A Cat in Paris follows the adventures of a kitty, Dino, who lives two lives: one as the purring pet of la jeune fille Zoe, another as a nighttime sidekick to one of Paris's most renowned cat burglars. The story is alluringly unpredictable, if occasionally rather dark. But even more, A Cat in Paris (Une vie de chat) is like a colorful graphic novel brought to life, here with the voices of Anjelica Huston, Matthew Modine, and Marcia Gay Harden. The direction, by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, is fluid and deft, with inside nods to the camera work of notable film noir titles as well as the French New Wave. And the story, in which a cat attempts true heroics, may be a bit too intense for young viewers, but older children, and their parents, will delight in the sophisticated, sweet A Cat in Paris --A.T.

Fun if Short & Slight French Animated Adventure
4 out of 5 stars
Fun if Short & Slight French Animated Adventure
Slight, short, but clever and well-animated French feature about Dino, a housecat belonging to Zoé, the mute daughter of widowed Parisian Police Superintendent Jeanne. Dino literally moonlights as the familiar/lookout for smart, sardonic cat burglar Nico.When Jeanne's work, Nico's Life of Crime, and a vicious (but comically bumbling) criminal gang led by Victor Costa's (the man who killed Zoé's father) plot to steal the invaluable Colossus of Nairobi statue collide over the course of a single night, the mute girl finds her only consistent ally to be the cat burglar. High rooftop action, betrayals, and adventure ensue, before the wrong crook is exonerated, the right crooks are captured, and Zoé gets her voice back.The artwork is highly stylized, and the story ratchets up the tension without being too graphic or horrible for a young audience. The ending might be a bit too fairytale for adults, but it's emotionally true to what's happened before. Oh, and there's an annoying small yapping dog that it the source of much slapstick comedy....

    5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing animated feature
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2013

    My eight-year-old daughter discovered this title at our public library and after watching it, we liked it so much we decided to get a copy for our home library. Dubbed in English, this 2010 French animated feature is pure delight from beginning till end. The story is a cops and robbers burglar story and the deft narrative devices and beautiful hand-drawn animation elevate it above a regular cartoon feature.

    Set in Paris, the story centers around a young girl named Zoé (English dub by Lauren Weintraub) who lives with her widowed police commissair mother Jeanne (English dub by Marcia Gay Harden). Zoé's cat likes shadowing a burglar named Nico (English dub by Steven Blum) and when the cat gives Zoé a 'present' in the form of a bracelet, Jeanne realizes that the bracelet might be tied in to the spate of burglaries in the area. Jeanne and her team are on the trail of a notorious criminal named Victor Costa (English dub by JD Blanc) who was also responsible for Jeanne's husband's death.

    The story moves on at a fast pace and kept our interest. The plot is engaging, peopled with interesting characters, both benign and sinister, and my daughter could not take her eyes off the screen. She loved Zoé's character as well as Nico, and though she was a little afraid during certain nail-biting parts, she enjoyed the movie immensely.

    The feature runs at 62 minutes, in full color, and there are several bonus features:
    "The Many Lives of a Cat" Video Flipbook
    "Extinction of the Saber-Toothed Housecat" Bonus Short Film

    5.0 out of 5 stars Redemption through a cat
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    While the art style is not necessarily the greatest it is certainly unique compared to many other cartoons I have seen over the years. It is flat in its design and reminds me of cut out figures I used to make and play with as a child. The story line was a bit more serious than I was expecting from the designs but still dynamic enough to enjoy for all ages with an open mind. Over all I enjoyed this movie as it had realistic interactions between characters (such as the child's shock from her fathers death and depression at her mother's inability to realize the neglect she has been in caring for her child despite the great love that is displayed). The focus on the cat was just an added benefit in watching this movie as far as I'm concerned since he acted much like my friends cat, all snobbish and aloof but lovable and caring of his can opener pets (i.e. his owners :3). Since I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone I'll leave my character analysis at that. I do believe I will be letting my nieces and nephews watch this movie later as I don't have to worry about the extreme violence usually found in cartoons now. While there is some violence and death, I do not believe it is any worse than the violence and death than what I grew up watching Disney movies. In the end I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wishes for a happy ending for their movie night. If you want to understand my title I would recommend watching until the end, it's predictable but very sweet.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleasant Animated Feature
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    A cat has two humans--which is pretty common if the cat gets the run of his neighborhood, as this one does. One human is the young daughter of the widowed chief of police and the other is a cat burglar. The cat and the cat burglar are very adept at negotiating the roofs and walls of Paris. The cat is, of course, the hero in this movie because he encourages the good guys to be better guys and stand up to the bad guys. And thankfully, the cat does this as a cat, not as a human in cat form. In fact, I enjoyed that the writers, directors, and animators actually appreciate the character of an "independent" cat. (OK, I like cats a lot, but a dog is the quintessential ...)

    The characters develop somewhat, but mostly they play their appropriate part. A theme I enjoy is a parent growing in appreciation of her child, and that is probably the most real part of this story. Another wonderful theme is that of redemption for several of the characters.

    The animation is quite artistic and amazingly involving as it sweeps across the roofs of the city. A strange part of this art is that the colors seem to pulsate, as each cell looks hand colored with an unusual method. In this day of ever-more-real-looking animation, I found myself enjoying this art, although I found it difficult to watch at first--so much so that I almost stopped watching the movie. I am glad I didn't. I not only got used to it quickly, but realized it is a fundamental part of the expression of the movie. It provides a very strong extra dimension to what would otherwise be much more two-dimensional.

    In retrospect, I found this movie is art that is truly enjoyable as a complete work, more even than other French animated movies I have enjoyed. And that really surprises me.

    Oh this one you have got to see. Since I got it from Amazon, I have seen it maybe ten (10) times. I like the cat, and the way the bad lady perfume that the cat smells, leads the cat to where his owner the little girl is at, priceless. See this is about a "cat burglar who is also owner of the cat. Who takes the cat with him when he goes on his burglarious (that a new word I have learned) meaning to do with burglary. And get this, the little girl's mother is a cop, or should I say police woman. Is saying "cop" right? No I will say police woman or police man, or a man or woman of the Law. Botton line the cat is leading a double life, one by day with the little girl and the other by night with the burglar. Than there is this crook who is off his rocker, with his coorks associates and they are off their rockers. This is ENTERTAINMENT cartoon style. Thank You Amazon. God Bless You. Love always; Georgia

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Paris in the moonlight
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Zoë is silent, a little girl traumatised, made speechless by the death of her father, a policeman killed in the line of duty. Her mother is caring but preoccupied, a woman who also works for the police (as a detective).

    Zoë’s best friend is Dino, her black cat. He is clever, mischievous, loyal. He always brings Zoë small lizards he has killed. Zoë collects them in a tin box. Some people collect stamps. Others collect coins. Zoë collects dead lizards. This hobby appals her mother, but Zoë doesn’t care. Perhaps her death obsession is part of a therapeutic process, a way of coming to terms with the death of her father. Perhaps, but this wise and compassionate film does not say.

    Dino is nocturnal. He operates with a cat burglar, a jewel thief, by night. Together they amble over rooftops in Paris under the stars, their figures silhouetted in the moonlight. The thief is cat-like in his movements — nimble, sure-footed, flexible. He is acrobatic, which somehow seems quite French. He’s silent too, stealthy in his work, a Gallic mime artist, which perhaps fulfils another expectation of Frenchness.

    The animation is also French or Frenchified, the faces and noses of the people long and lean (or is this just something I am imagining?). The screen is bright, colourful, beautiful throughout, the animation a work of genuine art. The scenes are exquisite, making me grateful for the pause button on the remote. DVDs are a wonderful invention. They are like — or can be like — having an art gallery in your home. This film invites aesthetic breaks in the action.

    Like many cities, Paris looks beautiful by night, dreamy and romantic. The film is an offhand comment, it seems to me, on the rich artistic tradition of Paris. Like a cat, the film is curious and inventive. It’s clever and sneaky. It has a charming Gallic way of representing the world, as if to say Disney and Pixar do not have the final say on what’s what about life and art.

    The beauty of it all made me fall in love with this animated gem, a French-Belgian co-production. If colour is something you love, you might fall for it too. The film is also witty and funny in the jaded, deadpan French way. As for the storyline, never mind; it’s simple, childish. This one was made for the entire family. It was nominated for an Academy Award. Only nominated? It should have won. It gets six stars on a scale of one to five.

    In French with English subtitles, though an audio option of spoken English (without subtitles) is available in the bonus section of the menu. French title: “Une Vie de Chat”, Paris assumed, not stated, as if to suggest: What is life without art and Paris?

    I've been collecting animations from different countries and this excerpt from france is absolutely fantastic! The animation is fluid with rather angular movements from everyone except the cat and the burglar, who move like water and the plot is rather well written with no plot holes that I can see. All in all, I adore this movie and can't wait to share it with family/friends.

    Oh, and the music. Very swingy and jazzy and suits the tone of the movie exactly. Love!
