Les chats au musée

A fellow parent invited me and my little to see this and we both came out with regrets 😂 Poorly-animated with incompetent voice work, and an incoherent and convoluted narrative. Certain plot points (Cleopatra's seemingly low self esteem related to perceived rejection by the opposite sex, I'm not kidding) also struck me as not the greatest message for kids. There is little to latch on to as enjoyable save for the depictions of art and mentions of well-known artists. I am honestly confused as to how this didn't go straight to Netflix, but once it ends up there you should probably still avoid it.

"Vinsent" is a ginger cat who finds himself stranded on an island populated only by a rather savage, but dumb, dog and by a mouse. They inhabit a grand old mansion house where their daily routine is quite literally that - routine! Anyway, a storm comes along and this causes their home to crumble into the sea leaving the cat and his mouse friend "Moris" floating the seas inside a piano! Luckily, that's picked up by a tanker and next thing, they are in the world renowned Hermitage museum in St Petersburg and 'Vinsent" is dragooned into a herd of other cats whose mission is to protect the priceless artwork. Needless to say, "Moris" finds his life now somewhat more perilous - especially as he has a penchant for dining on the fabric of fine art. The "Mona Lisa" is coming to visit and so everyone is on alert, security is heightened - bit still, it gets stolen. All fingers point to the mouse, but is there something more sinister going on that "Vinsent" can get to the bottom of? The animation here is all pretty basic, but it's still quite an enjoyably daft adventure with plenty going on, a few red herrings and just a little romance with the glamorous - if slightly curiously animated - "Kleopatra" before a denouement that I can think of plenty of "art" I'd want to volunteer for. I'm surprised this got an UK cinema release, and it's not really for children. Worth a watch, though.

Took my 8 year old granddaughter to this film as she wanted to see it (it had Cats in the title), that was the best thing about the film.

The storyline is nonexistent, every attempt at a plot is a complete load of nonsense, whether this is because of a failure in the translation from Russian or just a complete failure of the writers and directors of how to tell a story I just do not understand, it's a mixed up jumble of rubbish! At the end of film she asked me what I thought of it and I had to be honest and say how awful it was, she breathed a sigh of relief as she was worried to tell me that she just could not comprehend what she had just watch!

One to avoid at ALLL costs.

This is the WORST film I have ever seen in my life!!!

I knew that russian animations isn't known to be top notch but man...this is terrible on every level. Story is nonsense, visuals are outdated, humour is nonexistent and the pacing is all wrong. It looks like an overlong episode of other mediocre russian cartoons like Masha & Bear or Booba from like 20 years ago. It is frankly embarrassing that such a poor movie was on theaters. My 6 y/o daughter wanted to see this but she found it boring as well. Don't waste your money or time on this. Definitely one of the worst animated movies I've ever seen in my whole life. Please please don't let your kids watch this,

I saw this movie on the cinema, and tbh it seems like the person who wrote the story for this was just lazy, they had a great and cute opportunity and wasted it. It wasn't funny or interesting, and a there were a lot of unnecessary subplots. Also, the design of the only female cat ??? Man, that's awful.

The Spanish dub was also very cheap.

And the animation of the animals was fine, but when humans appear they seem sooo stiff, I think that was the only funny thing.

I would recommend this movie for children under the age of like 9-10, if you're older then you're just gonna waste your money. (Like me)
