44 Chats

I dont really enjoy it that much, but again this is for kids. I do agree that the english dub isnt exactly good. But kids wouldnt neccessarily care.

I would rate it 7/10.

After seeing an ad of the show a few days ago, I looked for its Wikipedia page to learn more about it. Upon briefly reading about it on Wikipedia, I found out that 44 Cats is a hit show in Italy that somehow made its way to other countries, including the U.S.

When I watched a half-minute clip of the Italian version, I find it decent. The graphics are very colorful, and the voices perfectly fit the characters.

But upon seeing some clips of the English version which will air really soon, I can't say that I feel the same way about that one. The colorful graphics are retained, but the voices of Lampo and Meatball (and some other male characters) are too feminine. I don't know why but the English dub is a complete travesty of a great Italian series.

With this, I'm sticking with the Italian version.

I remember reading articles on NickALive! about the show (since that site also talks about international Nickelodeon news), but I doubted that it would come to Nickelodeon USA. Surprise, surprise, it did! Nickelodeon heavily relies on SpongeBob and The Loud House at the moment for their animated lineup. Rise of the TMNT is excellent, Welcome to the Wayne was good while it lasted (it was shafted to Nicktoons and cancelled), but RBUK and Alvin and the Chipmunks are very weak. So how does this show hold up?

Well, it's incredibly dull. The stories aren't very interesting. There was an episode that seemed cool that involved space travel, but it was executed poorly. I think the main problem is that the episodes have wonky pacing, and that makes them boring to watch.

The characters are also stereotypical. The generic leader, the generic girl, the generic young one, and the generic fat comic relief (because "fat people are funny haha"). The side characters aren't much better. In fact, everyone's limited to one trait.

The voice acting is also very bad. I get that it's dubbed, but the voices still don't sit right with me. So yes, this show is very bland and forgettable. You're better off watching Lego City Adventures.

A kid can be good guide across the adventures of cats, the bad guy measures - reminding Gargamel - and the lovely old lady. Good opportunity to discover nice crafted animation and new version of cats adventures. So, just nice.

Look i know its a kids show or whatever, but as soon as my 4-year-old younger sister started watching this, i kept walking into the room with it on, and just wanting to throw a brick at the tv each time. The plot is entirely nonsensical and not-cohesive. As an example, here is an actual line from the show: "this spot is where i usually find four-leaf-clovers". The characters are bland and annoying, especially the guy who's meant to be the comedic relief, the fat one whose name i cant be bothered to remember. His voice actor does an atrocious job, almost mocking of those with obesity. The animation is unoriginal and mediocre at best. Also these frequent concerts they have in the park just make me shout each time: "ARE THESE HUMANS BLIND???", even more so than i did in TOY STORY 4 of all things.

All in all, an utterly worthless piece of garbage with a nonsensical plot, terrible characters and absolutely no attention to detail in the slightest. 1/10.
