Cão e Gato

I thought this might fit into the "Family Movie" genre, you know - some stuff for the kids, but the adults can be entertained too? The first few minutes were kind of humorous, as we watch what appears to be a burglar escape a cop on his trail. Then the animals showed up. The dog is wildly unconvincing GCI off the bat, and then the cat worse so. Then the pets started talking to each other, and that's when the movie fully jumped the shark. I should have done more research before pressing "start". Or at least watched a trailer.

There's not much else to say; the female lead was pretty, so there's that. Nothing else was memorable. In another 72 hours, I will completely forget that I watched this movie.

... because it is really an odd combination of genres so you are probably going to either love it or hate it. It is like a wedding of Home Alone with its hapless criminal duo and Homeward Bound with its animals - a dog and cat - who basically do not like each other, on the road to find home. And yet this is not a children's film nor really a film for adults either because it is so inane. The probably largely forgotten film "Batteries Not Included" from 1988 comes to mind as having a similar problem. I liked it, but then you put a cat - real or bad CGI as is the case here - as a major character in a film and I'll watch it and probably like it, so I do make that disclaimer.

While I'm mentioning CGI - it's very badly done here. Neither the cat nor the dog look the least bit real. I thought the CGI in 2020's updated version of Call of the Wild was pretty bad, but this makes that film look like a CGI masterpiece. Then there is the dubbing - It is very badly done from the original French Canadian.

So my suspiciously high rating is mainly for people who like cats - even badly rendered ones - and the people who love them.

Spoiled with today's generated animation, the animals were disappointing. Once i got beyond that and appreciated the movie for what it is... I found myself laughing and enjoying this light hearted movie. Relax, no one is trying to win an Oscar here. There is thought behind the story. The humor is funny, original and the acting is good. The movie I watched was dubbed so good I had forgotten shortly after it started. I hadn't heard of this movie and started watching it with an open mind. It caught my attention before long which kept me involved even after seeing less than ideal animation of animals. They kind of reminded me of the Scooby Doo animation in the movies starring Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prince Jr.

I enjoyed it. Reminded me of Classic slapstick comedy but modernised and .. I would like to say targeted for children but it's not really a children's film. The preview did make the animation dull looking but it looked fine during the film. I laughed throughout the entire film; it has stupid antics, funny action scenes and I really enjoyed it. I really don't get the low rating.

I guess it's just a taste thing. If you like slapstick comedy, I think one would enjoy this; nothing has to be perfectly made, just has to be enjoyable and I enjoyed it.

The story is about two things: first a robbery of a ruby, which a dog accidentally swallows; and a cat, who is named 'Diva', and does in fact live up to her name. Sort of like 'Homeward Bound' but not really, just a cat and a dog on a journey to find their owners who are looking for them and they keep getting further and further away from them. Also has a sense of bonding with the two 'owners' looking for them and the relationship of the dog and cat. The dog's name is profane; I'll refrain from saying it here but I, again, quite enjoyed the film. Something to watch when you're tired of all the seriousness of the world itself.

Cat and dog is straightforward in it's description and how it plays out, but it's very odd. The main two animals in this chichi a dog, and diva a cat are CGI. They also talk and though it's a comedy I just find the way they are animated to be very offitting. Don't get me wrong though I still thought they worked well and their scenes were good. A jewel theif ends up with divas mother on a plane and both have to save their pets after they end up getting blown away. I liked the chemistry between the main stars and there were some fun parts and overall this was an overall warming movie with strange but enjoyable plot.
