10 Lives - Un gatto fortunato

Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Clearly, this movie isn't for me and really for children. I do enjoy some children's animation as I love to support animators and animation movie creating some interesting stories. But this animated movie felt dry and lacking to what could have been an pretty entertaining story.

Throughout, the animation models, colors, and designs were solid as there are some good structures but some structures look poor like some kind of bad social media animated app. The voice performances were solid but some of the performances, especially the main lead, was pretty annoying. The narrative is an interesting concept about nine lives and cats but because of the bland direction, the writing doesn't feel as creative nor engaging to connect with.

The characters weren't really interesting and I found myself pretty bored. Animated movies usually shouldn't bore me even if they are not my demographic but this one really seems to hit the note.

Overall, not a very good movie. If you want a fun cat animated movie, I recommend The Amazing Maurice as that movie has some creative ideas and fun characters.

It's a cat-tastic, barkingfun family easy film, nothing fishy about it at all. No need to have your tail between your legs.

Great cast good one liner's, even with all the horsing around. Definitely want a Pint with the Pets.

Lovely and Grace-ful movie, heavenly warming.

Pizza might not look the same in the future though.

All round good family fun, yes bit predictable at times, but so are all films A lovely simple idea and good bad life lessons. No need to badger anyone over it.

But it's nice and easy fun movie to watch. Nice a beesy a good buzz to it, nothing

Can you guess all the lives?

10 Lives is a whimsical film that offers moments of charm and amusement, but ultimately falls short of its potential.

One of the film's strengths is its visual appeal, with vibrant animation bringing the cat's world to life in vivid detail. The character design is particularly impressive, capturing the essence of each feline personality with delightful expressiveness.

However, where "10 lives" falters is in its narrative structure. The episodic nature of Whiskers' adventures feels disjointed, and the plot lacks a cohesive arc to tie everything together. As a result, the film struggles to maintain momentum and engagement throughout its runtime.

Additionally, while the humor in "10 lives" is occasionally amusing, it often relies on tired clichés and slapstick gags that may elicit only mild chuckles from viewers. The dialogue is also somewhat lacking in wit and originality, failing to fully capitalize on the potential for clever cat-centric humor.

Anyway I support it, go and watch the film.

This is an animated movie about a selfish cat named Beckett who dies while tormenting his owner's clumsy boyfriend. Because of his selfishness, he is doomed to that old Lake of Fire, but he convinces the angel handling his case to give him nine more lives to be better, only they aren't in the form of a cat but nine other animals.

I must say that this is a very amusing animated feature. It helps brake the stereotype that cats are selfish creatures who could care less about humans, and I am not just saying this because I am a cat person. I am more than delighted to give this movie 9 out of ten stars.

Didn't really know what to expect coming into this film and I must say I'm so glad I seen this. From the voice acting, to the cuteness of characters, and the overall message, this one was truly special. I really don't remember an animated film that brought tears to my eyes like this did in quite a long time, but it was so worth it. Lots of laughs and fun moments throughout. Perfect for the family and kids. Wish they made more of these, hope to see more from the filmmakers. Everyone needs a Breckett! Highly recommend to anyone who wants a feel good movie and a good time. Go in without any expectations and I assure you will enjoy.
