Dino is a cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little girl whose mother is a detective in the Parisian police force. But at night Dino sneaks out the window to work with Nico – a slinky cat burglar with a big heart, whose fluid movements are poetry in motion as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris skyline. Rife with film references (from Reservoir Dogs to Goodfellas to The Night of the Hunter) A CAT IN PARIS is a warm and richly humorous love letter to classic noir and American gangster films, with jazz soundtrack featuring Billie Holiday.

If an animated feature film wants to succeed, it has become obligatory in the last two decades to come up with a concept for the whole family. This is not fulfilled by A Cat in Paris, as it is exclusively aimed at children and therefore lacks appeal for their adult accompaniment. On the other hand, it is definitely not a stupid film, as it has certain poetics that set it apart from North American films and it is also visually interesting. For those who don't mind returning to their childhood and are able to watch through the eyes of a child, it may not be a bad choice at all. For me, it's a 3.5, but this time I'm willing to add to it because European animated films don't have it easy in competition with Disney films. Overall impression: 70%.
