Meet Dino, a common house cat who lives a double life. He’s the loyal pet of Zoe, a lonely little girl who lives with her busy single mother Jeanne, a police detective. But after sundown when Zoe goes to sleep, Dino sneaks off to accompany debonair cat burglar Nico, and their nightly prowls take them on breathtaking escapades across the rooftops of Paris. Eventually, Zoe discovers what Dino is up to and she too becomes drawn into a thrilling adventure involving jewels, gangsters and capital-T trouble, all leading to a nail-biting and acrobatic finale atop the gothic Notre Dame.
In this unique, Oscar-nominated throwback to the traditional art form, every cell of the film has been hand-painted with a stunning & vibrant palette that mirrors the magic and whimsy of the city of lights, as does the cool retro jazz soundtrack. A Cat in Paris will enchant fans of felines, animation, mystery and adventure, young and old.

Not a bad animated film at all. It has a good storyline and some interesting characters. Also, it moves at a pace and holds the interest, especially with some funny moments. The only criticism I would have is about a few hackneyed images ie., a cat emerging from a dustbin with a fish skeleton in its mouth and the zoo animals right up against the bars of their cages and able to grab at passers by. Other than that, it was savvy enough.

How could you not like this. A very adult cartoon that is beautifully crafted frame by frame in the traditional way. I listened using the English voice option and it was strange to watch a French production with cockney accents, maybe subtitles would have been better. The story plays second fiddle to the incredible artwork, although it is still a good little yarn, as only the French can do. Take an hour off wth the kids to watch it, you won't regret it.
