mfsdmcguire As a parent, I would not allow my kids to watch this as one of the characters said the word "damn." Seriously, this is supposed to be a kid/family movie.

rbf08 The film is a mediocre storyline of an abandoned cat that ends up being adopted by a magician. Typical children's story.However, the villain has a propensity to shout "Damn Cat!" anytime he involved with the cat. This was rated G, wasn't it? The animation is good, and seems to play off some sort of 3d effects throughout. Not the same level of animation as Pixar or Dreamworks, but still pretty good quality.Watch it if you are bored and need a cheap film to entertain the kids for an hour and a half.I would give the film the following ratings:Story- 3/5 Characters- 2.5/5 Animation- 4.5/5 Cheesy reference to the film "Big" - 7.5/5

cinematic_aficionado 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.

Tiago Ferreira First the good. The animation of the movie is not Pixar, but it is really good. Some of the characters are adorable, and there is a good message of forgiveness, friendship and acceptance in the story.The story is amusing at times, but in general it is not super entertaining. You will not find yourself remembering this movie one month after you watched it. This is the kind of movie you watch, it distracted you and then it faded into memory...Now the bad, that actually made me uncomfortable watching the movie. The movie literally starts with a little kitten being abandoned. Maybe this shocked me more than it should, and maybe a little kid would not notice this, but nonetheless it is a very sad way for the whole story to start. This is not one of those "cute kitten left in a box" moment, this is "a car stops and throws a cat away" moment. Later in the movie, there is a moment when the evil nephew is literally chasing the cat with a shotgun. And this could be a funny scene, a la Looney Tunes, but it is not. The evil nephew has the intent to kill, and he's giving his best to do so. I watched my share of Tom and Jerry when I was a kid, and this is not that friendly, funny, intent to catch. This is a grow-up, who hates this particular cat, trying to get rid of it, in a chasing sequence where shotgun rounds are fired very close to the cat, continuously destroying the house, with a somewhat realistic look for what should be a children's cartoon.
