10 Lives

Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Clearly, this movie isn't for me and really for children. I do enjoy some children's animation as I love to support animators and animation movie creating some interesting stories. But this animated movie felt dry and lacking to what could have been an pretty entertaining story.

Throughout, the animation models, colors, and designs were solid as there are some good structures but some structures look poor like some kind of bad social media animated app. The voice performances were solid but some of the performances, especially the main lead, was pretty annoying. The narrative is an interesting concept about nine lives and cats but because of the bland direction, the writing doesn't feel as creative nor engaging to connect with.

The characters weren't really interesting and I found myself pretty bored. Animated movies usually shouldn't bore me even if they are not my demographic but this one really seems to hit the note.

Overall, not a very good movie. If you want a fun cat animated movie, I recommend The Amazing Maurice as that movie has some creative ideas and fun characters.

This is an animated movie about a selfish cat named Beckett who dies while tormenting his owner's clumsy boyfriend. Because of his selfishness, he is doomed to that old Lake of Fire, but he convinces the angel handling his case to give him nine more lives to be better, only they aren't in the form of a cat but nine other animals.

I must say that this is a very amusing animated feature. It helps brake the stereotype that cats are selfish creatures who could care less about humans, and I am not just saying this because I am a cat person. I am more than delighted to give this movie 9 out of ten stars.

The animation was visually impressive, with high quality graphics and a strong sense of detail that brought the story's world to life. While the plot had potential, it struggled to shine through due to the lackluster voice acting. Many of the actors sounded flat and unenthusiastic, which created a disconnect between the dynamic visuals and the voices bringing them to life. This was especially noticeable in the introductory scenes, where an energetic start was needed but instead felt lifeless.

I was really excited about the concept and had high hopes for this film, but unfortunately, the voice performances held it back more than the story itself. With more passionate and engaged voice actors, I think this film could have delivered an entirely different and much more captivating experience.

It's a cat-tastic, barkingfun family easy film, nothing fishy about it at all. No need to have your tail between your legs.

Great cast good one liner's, even with all the horsing around. Definitely want a Pint with the Pets.

Lovely and Grace-ful movie, heavenly warming.

Pizza might not look the same in the future though.

All round good family fun, yes bit predictable at times, but so are all films A lovely simple idea and good bad life lessons. No need to badger anyone over it.

But it's nice and easy fun movie to watch. Nice a beesy a good buzz to it, nothing

Can you guess all the lives?

Didn't really know what to expect coming into this film and I must say I'm so glad I seen this. From the voice acting, to the cuteness of characters, and the overall message, this one was truly special. I really don't remember an animated film that brought tears to my eyes like this did in quite a long time, but it was so worth it. Lots of laughs and fun moments throughout. Perfect for the family and kids. Wish they made more of these, hope to see more from the filmmakers. Everyone needs a Breckett! Highly recommend to anyone who wants a feel good movie and a good time. Go in without any expectations and I assure you will enjoy.
