an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
While this film has a duration that is 44 minutes long, it still manages to find some more time to fill with dialogue that sounds like each sentence has one or more words more than it should do to sound like natural conversation. It is often the case in many of the conversations in this film that the characters will say something in such a way that you are not sure exactly when their sentence will finally come to a stop. This detail while not entirely insignificant however is not the only issue which the makers of this film ought to answer for. Another example of padding that occurs in this film is the extensive usage of a black screen that appears between certain shots of the film. Another issue which I am sure other people who have watched this film will have noticed is that of THE DAMN BIPEDAL CAT!
This movie was the greatest thing about mankind. I was laughing, afraid, crying, and clapping at the end. That chase between Marcelle and the cat had me biting my nails. People say that it is a rip-off of Ratatouille(The inferior movie), but as I dug deeper Ratatoing came out 2 days before Ratatouille! I don't get how anyone could rate this 1, as everything about this movie is a masterpiece! It certainly shows that these gods of creators spent hours, months, even years planning, animating, editing, and found the best of the best voice actors to play some of my favourite characters! In conclusion, this movie is amazing. I would rate it 100/10 if I could. I recommend it to all families, kids, adults, anyone or thing!
I found this in the kids section at my library and assumed it was a sequel to "Ratatouille." Man, was I wrong. Even Saturday morning cartoons are a step above this turkey in animation and sound quality. This thing was released 3 days before Ratatouille which, given how similar the names are, seems pretty "coincidental." You are free to draw your own conclusions from this, but I bet there are quite a few people who bought this video thinking that they were getting Ratatouille. It is the only reason I can come up with for why my library has a copy.I'll admit that I only watched 3 minutes of this before ejecting the disc, but that was plenty of time to decide that investing any more time in watching would be a huge mistake.
This movie is horrible. There are so many things wrong with it that I can't fit them into this box, so I will just say the main things. First of all the animation is so bad. Someone could make a better animated movie in their mom's garage on an old computer. Some of it is creepy ( almost all of it is creepy!) Towards the end of this movie there is a scene where a cat is chasing the mice. The cat is so disturbing that I almost ran out of the room in horror! Sometimes the cat is running on it's HIND legs. Some movies can pull that off, like having the animals run like humans. But this movie was no where near acceptable for that. It was horrifying. To top that off, the cat was like 7 inches tall, super fat, and it's mouth went into it's neck - and to have that thing running around on it's hind legs, you can see why I thought I would have nightmares. Beside the horrible animation, you have to recognize that it is a complete rip off of Disney's Ratatouille. The only reason that they couldn't sue them is that on the cover it says 'inspired by Disney's Ratatouille.' Ugh.The script, ugh, the script. And the voice acting, ughh. There is no emotion and no enthusiasm in the voices. The movie doesn't make any sense. The script is why nothing in the movie could ever make sense. And the plot, you could barely tell what the movie plot was, and half the movie is devoted to them standing around talking with the costumers, ( then again the movie was only 40 minutes long!)The movie's ending didn't make sense. Like the cat became his friend or something and they got food. I can't even explain what the ending was because I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ENDING IS! It didn't make sense. My advise is don't watch this movie. It is 40 minutes of your life that you can never get back.
