FILM REVIEW: A CAT IN PARIS

Wonderful animated feature from 2012. Set in Paris with a young girl and her loving and protective cat who leads a double life. Decent pacing with a rather Hitchcockian plot, I don't think this would be too scary or involved for older kids under 10. Nominated for best Animated Feature in the 2011 Oscars but alas, lost to "Toy Story 3" (of course, the Academy with go with this crowd-pleasing franchise. Sigh).

Available from Prime-we suggest getting the original French language version and deal with subtitles. Hearing the native languages adds to the experience in our opinion. C loves catching the translator's choices. For example, there was a scene where a bad guy is confronted by the cops who, as C put it, nicely told him that he was not a good person. Actually, they said in French that he was being an asshole, lol!
