Une vie de chat (A Cat in Paris) - 5 stars out of 10

Une vie de chat (A Cat in Paris) - 5 stars out of 10

The setting is great, the animation style is great, but the story and dialogue are too kid-centric for adults.  While some of the content (champagne, smoking) earns "Une vie de chat" a PG-rating and may seem like it wasn't intended for kids, consider the Parisian culture and these things make sense in the setting.  At first, I thought that there was too much Cat and not enough Paris, but the second half of the movie is awesome, satisfying that Paris fix.  The animation during the blackout is incredibly cool and the gargoyles on Notre Dame add so much to the story and atmosphere.  "Une vie de chat" has a lot to offer but, while adults can enjoy this film, this is more of a good way to introduce kids to suspense films.
