Les chats au musée

What starts off a bit of an adventure turns out is pretty much no way connected to the main story apart from two characters. After they abandoned that idea they create a plot line to change the scene to a completely different country. Here it then basically became a russian propaganda video. If this was made by the Heritage gallery then I wouldn't be surprised. The plot then dissolved into loads of sub plots that have no purpose, they introduce a love interest for the main character for no interest and then the plot twist at the end is so stupid you question if you fell asleep and missed a bit.

I knew that russian animations isn't known to be top notch but man...this is terrible on every level. Story is nonsense, visuals are outdated, humour is nonexistent and the pacing is all wrong. It looks like an overlong episode of other mediocre russian cartoons like Masha & Bear or Booba from like 20 years ago. It is frankly embarrassing that such a poor movie was on theaters. My 6 y/o daughter wanted to see this but she found it boring as well. Don't waste your money or time on this. Definitely one of the worst animated movies I've ever seen in my whole life. Please please don't let your kids watch this,

"Vinsent" is a ginger cat who finds himself stranded on an island populated only by a rather savage, but dumb, dog and by a mouse. They inhabit a grand old mansion house where their daily routine is quite literally that - routine! Anyway, a storm comes along and this causes their home to crumble into the sea leaving the cat and his mouse friend "Moris" floating the seas inside a piano! Luckily, that's picked up by a tanker and next thing, they are in the world renowned Hermitage museum in St Petersburg and 'Vinsent" is dragooned into a herd of other cats whose mission is to protect the priceless artwork. Needless to say, "Moris" finds his life now somewhat more perilous - especially as he has a penchant for dining on the fabric of fine art. The "Mona Lisa" is coming to visit and so everyone is on alert, security is heightened - bit still, it gets stolen. All fingers point to the mouse, but is there something more sinister going on that "Vinsent" can get to the bottom of? The animation here is all pretty basic, but it's still quite an enjoyably daft adventure with plenty going on, a few red herrings and just a little romance with the glamorous - if slightly curiously animated - "Kleopatra" before a denouement that I can think of plenty of "art" I'd want to volunteer for. I'm surprised this got an UK cinema release, and it's not really for children. Worth a watch, though.

A fellow parent invited me and my little to see this and we both came out with regrets 😂 Poorly-animated with incompetent voice work, and an incoherent and convoluted narrative. Certain plot points (Cleopatra's seemingly low self esteem related to perceived rejection by the opposite sex, I'm not kidding) also struck me as not the greatest message for kids. There is little to latch on to as enjoyable save for the depictions of art and mentions of well-known artists. I am honestly confused as to how this didn't go straight to Netflix, but once it ends up there you should probably still avoid it.

I feel like kids films are going to be a trial ground for producers, companies and studios to see if audiences will consume AI content without noticing it's AI. That's what this movie felt like...a film written, structured, and performed by AI...and there's a couple of others I've watched on Netflix recently that feel similar.

It felt extremely unemotional and detached. The structure felt formulaic but in a way that just didn't feel like humans were behind it making the said formulaic mistakes, if that makes sense? Performances felt like they were built on a voice artist recording their voice for 2 hours and then AI increased the vocabulary and filled in the blanks. Just an incredibly aloof feeling watching this. My 4 year old said it was boring. Kids are human too and know when something is wafer thin.
