A CAT IN PARIS (San Francisco International Film Festival, San Francisco, California USA 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Stars ìììì

A Cat in Paris—good storyline, simply animated French feature—may be a little complicated to follow for the younger crowd, but will still please. The story, about a jewel thief named Nico (voice of Steve Blum), a black cat, and a little girl named Zoé (voice of Lauren Weintraub), involves a treacherous nanny, Claudine (voice of Anjelica Huston), and an evil gang—in a superb tale about stealing, kidnapping, and justice. The film contains some exciting chase scenes across French rooftops, just the right amount of danger, a small mystery, and a satisfying resolution for all audiences.
