A Cat in Paris, the French animated film "La vie d'un chat", is less about the cat than the young girl and the cat burglar who share it on the day/night cycle, but there's a pun in there that makes the title work, if perhaps only in English. The girl's mother is a police detective who hopes to bring the mobster who killed her husband to justice, but must also deal with a rash of burglaries that have been happening in the city. By turns touching, amusing and exciting, it works mostly because we don't often see this kind of material in Western animation, because otherwise the script isn't spectacularly original. Where it shines, I think, is in the animation STYLE, which really is unusual, its pastel chalk shading giving it an old world look that complements its noir atmosphere well. 7 years 2 months ago -
