This show was so wonderful. The cynical, half-deranged title character is too funny for words. The throwbacks on society are not only funny, but oh so true. I agree with everyone else that this show was one of the best ever made. Watch it on Comedy Central, because I can't explain how funny this show actually is.

Well, those of you lucky enough to live in Japan can badger this Anime all you wish. In Japan, there are many Anime to choose from. We Americans get about 2 choices: Gundam Wing or Dragonball Z (I REFUSE to include Monster Rancher or any of the 'mons into the mix.) It's equal to or beyond Dragonball Z in many places, though I agree the plot is sometimes lost or confused in thoughtful dialouge of War and Peace. I don't mind that; in fact I enjoy the insight I receive from it. I wish I lived in Japan or I had the comic shop that would sell me subtitled anime (I hear Sailor Moon underwent HORRIFIC rewrites-too bad :P) I don't though, and Gundam Wing is a good show upon itself.

I thought this was a welcome departure from the overbudgeted Disney films of the time. Instead of relying on flashy, new special effects, this movie relies on it's wit, charm, tight storyline, and music (the most surprising, usually WB scores are terrible.) I am sick of animated films lacking in good scores and feeling like something pasted together by a two-year-old when relating to plot. Disney has forgotten the roots of animation, what Walt built the company on. Cats Don't Dance has brought back some of the well-drawn, non drawn out animation that made the business back in the day. I loved this film and it is too bad it had a terrible box office run. Ironically enough, I viewed this Warner Brother's film on the Disney channel and now suggest at least a rental.
