Cão e Gato

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.

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 watched it on Netflix, oh man, this movie is filled with flaws. I don't even know if it's possible to count them all.

While I am a casual fan of talking animal-themed movies, This one...had no direction. Let's go into depth about why.

The 3DCG is so obvious it will bother you throughout the whole film. It's like oil and water, they will never match or align as they will always stand out.

Movie Theme? Genre? Direction? What was it? I didn't see what exactly was the development here.

Is this movie meant to be cheezy and questionable in logic? It's like the majority of the characters here aren't that smart.

... 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.

A surprisingly witty and sophisticated spy movie spoof that will tickle adult pet lovers and still capture kids

This is a brilliant light hearted, funny and at parts sad. Movies animated characters were lovely addition with an underlying message of unity against prejudice.

A cat (pampered star) and dog (homeless ) unite to find their way back home having to endure many dangerous hurdles along the way. The story was about navigating in a world which lives are lived on social sites and popularity, loneliness.

... and there is a happy ending. It's a great film for the whole family to enjoy.

End.
