“WONDERFUL, SOPHISTICATED FUN! Take kids on the adventure of a lifetime!” – Mary Ellen Hunt, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
From Folimage, France’s premiere animation studio, comes this beautifully hand-drawn feature, a thrilling, jazzy cat caper set in the shadow-drenched alleyways of Paris. Dino is a pet cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little mute girl whose mother is a detective in the Parisian police force. But at night he sneaks out the window to work with Nico – a slinky cat burglar with a big heart – as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris skyline. The cat’s two worlds collide when young Zoe decides to follow Dino on his nocturnal adventures – and falls into the hands of Victor Costa, a blustery gangster planning the theft of a rare statue. Now cat and cat burglar must team up to save Zoe from the bumbling thieves, leading to a thrilling acrobatic finale on top of Notre Dame. A CAT IN PARIS is a warm and richly humorous love letter to classic noir film, Hitchcock thrillers and the stylized wit of the Pink Panther cartoons, propelled by a cool, jazz-inflected soundtrack featuring Billie Holliday and Django Reinhardt.
(Directed by Jean-Loup Felicioli, Alain Gagnol, FRANCE, 2010, 70 mins, NR) HD Digital Presentation
