Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer A Cat in Paris is thrilling, and a thrilling example of traditional ink and paint cartooning. Rated: 3/4 Aug 30, 2012 Full Review A.A. Dowd Time Out Chicago Twentysomething caped-crusader fans may get a warmer buzz of nostalgia here than they will at The Dark Knight Rises. Jul 27, 2012 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune [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. Rated: 3/4 Jul 26, 2012 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) This film is gorgeous. Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Examiner 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. Rated: 3/4 Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Stephanie Cooke Rogues Portal 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.

TROY S A Cat in Paris is thrilling, and a thrilling example of traditional ink and paint cartooning. Twentysomething caped-crusader fans may get a warmer buzz of nostalgia here than they will at The Dark Knight Rises. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Spencer P Packing plenty of substance and laughs into its 65-minute runtime, "A Cat in Paris" is a charmingly animated film for all ages. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It is such a bad film Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review andy h You won't learn much from it if you've seen any movie ever, but with the heartwarming, charming relationship between the main characters, and the remotely funny villains, you will enjoy yourself with a rare piece of uniquely, art inspired animation. 4.3 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This Oscar nominee for the best animated feature imagines a visually chic Paris and a satisfyingly diverting adventure of a bereaved reticent girl, her cat and a cat burglar in a game of cat and mouse with a mob boss and his accomplices with odd codenames. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member "A Cat in Paris" becomes a simple animation in which its lightness leaves us free to think about. With a compelling screenplay, at no time the film becomes loutish. Unfortunately, his lack of climax and a concrete conflict is perceptible. Subtle. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
