Chats et chiens 3 : patte dans la patte

Cats and Dogs (2001) had a interesting idea but it wasn't funny, along with the weird looking CGI for the cats and dogs talking.

Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010) was basically just like the first movie, it just added more stupid scenes and a annoying villain.

Now we have Cat and Dogs 3: Paws Unite (2020). After watching it I am sure this is definitely the worst of the 3 movies.

The CG with the talking mouths is bad, the jokes are not funny and obvious, and the characters are annoying. Especially the villain

The voice acting is average and the plot is pretty straight forward. Plot: Cats and dogs are working together but a bird villain is doing something to have them fight. It was a pretty standard plot.

It will mostly just cut to the villain doing weird and random things that didn't connect to the story. Most of the time I was asking "what is going on?".

This is pretty forgettable and I guess kids can be distracted by it. I didn't find it entertaining or funny, I just found it annoying.

Wow this is just bad. The first movie had much more believable special effects than this. Any time the characters interact with anything around them, they're off screen and you get a show of a obviously fake paw doing all the interacting. The talking effects on their mouth is very blurry as if their faces are being stretched and pulled on a low quality image editor, with no cleanup done after.

Voice acting is also pretty bland, sounds like the voice actors are reading a script with no context on the scene they are reading it for. Plot was average, nothing to write home about.

If you want to watch Cats and Dogs 3, skip it and go watch the original one

Saw this earlier because there is understandably very little in the terms of new releases that are not horror related.

I guess Warner Bros sneaked this one out because they were probably wondering what else to do with. So I guess they figured why not release it when there is nothing else for kids in cinemas (and alongside Covid you can blame Disney in large part for that). There are no famous names involved here, very little in the way of humour that anyone over the age of 8 would enjoy and the film lacks any originality. The first film was amazingly 19 years ago and did at least raise a smile and the occasional chuckle. The sequel in 2010 was pretty terrible but still had a sprinkling of genuine celebrities in the voice cast. This lame effort has no redeeming features, not even a likeable human cast. It is admittedly a smaller scale (and smaller budget) production than the first two and technically the effects etc are ok, but I suspect it will kill the franchise. Not sure what the scriptwriters have been up to for the past decade but I think the script may have been written by a ten year old as it is that undemanding and joyless. There is very little in terms of plot apart from a wealthy but unhappy boy with a dog and and a poor girl with a cat saving the world from a rogue pet determined to set cats and dogs against each other to allow other pets to be adopted. Obviously the budget didn't even extend to a little bit of Hollywood stardust in the casting as I haven't heard of any of these actors. The poor cast were probably hoping this would be their big break into the big time but instead they are finding themselves in a film that will not feature highly in their resume's.

I suspect this franchise is about to go the way of Look Who's Talking or Stuart Little and quietly disappear after starting off strongly and floundering on badly scripted sequels and a lack of imagination.

I'm giving this five stars because there is absolutely nothing else out for youngsters and this is an ok watch for the undemanding 6-11 year old who will forget it relatively quickly. I admit I wasn't expecting a work of art and at 81 minutes it was mercifully short. Hopefully there won't be a 4th instalment.

The reviews for this film are the most unfair I have ever seen. It is a bit of fun with talking animals. It has a nice story line, good characters, some laugh out loud moments and a nice ending. As long as you don't take the film seriously it has entertainment value.

I prefer the second and the first one than this season. i think this more like short story or TV movie than a movie. it's just a simple story. i thought this movie more cool or great but it's far from what i am expected.
