An incredibly beautiful film. Goosebumps. Tears. A unique concept, without words but with dialogue. With sounds and music that make your heart beat faster.
For the first time ever, I sat and couldn't get up when the credits started rolling. I had to focus on them for a moment to see who made this magic happen, and to blink away emotions from my eyes. Even the team's dogs are mentioned in the credits. And then suddenly, a surprise - another scene after the credits!
Now I feel like reading everything that I can find about the film, getting stills as my desktop and phone wallpaper, and have just ordered their Cat t-shirt.
This is a masterpiece that I can't wait to see again!

Bravo everyone! Show to the Hollywood how it's done!
Such a beautiful story - no words, no explanation - so liberating!
Liberating from "someone else's burden", as Nietzsche would say.
Liberating from imposed narrations.
Liberating from expectations.
Mind goes "Oh, it's a modern interpretation of Noah's Ark" - no it's bloody NOT! - "But what happened, why are they...?" - it doesn't matter!
"Is the end of the world shown?" - No, it's not.
It's just an excerpt of some situation, some flood, somewhere, sometime - experienced through the eyes of certain creatures - and VERY beautifully depicted in this fantastic film.

Contrary to what one might expect from an animation film like this, this is not the one where animals can speak and magic happens. It looks and is very realistic and still remains magical; all without a single word.
The main character is a black cat, who witnesses the beginning of a natural disaster and tries to save its life by being a cat and going with the flow. The story is reminiscent of the biblical Noah's Arc, only without us humans, although the traces of our earlier presence are clearly seen.
With the cat and the other characters we flow and get mesmerized by the skillfully animated beautiful planet Earth and a little bit beyond it.
P. S. Remember to stay through the credits: there's a wonderful surprise at the end!

With not a word uttered, time flies by as you witness this rollercoaster of an adventure. Unexpectedly, this was a very moving, emotional and engaging film.
The world of the story is similar to ours but it is devoid of humans. The Cat leads a happy life in what looks like a forest house, when the world is swept up by a gigantic flood. What follows is the tale of fighting against extreme odds as the Cat learns to rely on others for survival and to grow to care about his unlikely companions.
Masterful story telling and character development meet profound empathy and clear themes, this film is for everyone. Moving and uplifting. Absolutely loved it!

Sometimes cats in movies talk. Other times, they don’t have to say a word, and yet they steal the show. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite on-screen felines.
Did you know
- TriviaThe team was very adamant in getting all of the "voices" to be done by real animals, so they recorded real animals for the movie. To get the capybara sound, the sound engineer had to travel to a zoo and tickle capybaras. However, the real capybara sounds did not match the personality that the capybara character would have, so instead they used a baby camel for this one.
- GoofsIn reality, secretary birds do not feed by swooping down and grabbing fish (or cats) in their claws the way an eagle or osprey would. These long legged birds are terrestrial predators, who stalk their prey in open savannas and grasslands and seize them in their beaks.
- Crazy creditsThere's a brief post-credits scene where the whale is seen surfacing on the ocean.
