Really entertaining, superb animation, enjoyable story. Definitely not for kids.

Cat noir. Gory, but decent mystery starring animated cats.

At once a commentary on the classic principles of the animated Disney feature film, and then immediately a film noir driven by the sexual impulses of, well, the feline -- nothing screams social understanding and the moral compass quite like Michael Schaack's gritty adult-oriented animated mystery. Where humans would react a certain way, these cats have actions from their own perspective. And that's quite haunting...

I read some comments on a thread linked to the film saying, "Not so much for kids, there are few scenes that might seem bit upsetting for some parents. But in my opinion, it is nothing really to worry about." -- What?! There's a dream sequence of dead kitties being jiggled like puppets on strings with their innards hanging-out! I'm glad I saw when I was old enough not to have nightmares about eviscerated cats.
