10 Lives

This movie is about as generic as a CGI animated film can be (the poster is highly misleading by the way, since it's in 2D). The main character self-narrates, sometimes as a voice and sometimes as the character himself in the story, which is a choice I guess. Overall, Beckett is fairly unlikeable, being that kind of protagonist that has to go through a lesson.

On the plus side, it truly shows the wonders in cat ownership, and the bee preservation plot is fairly original and commendable since this is a serious issue. On the other hand, it leads to a rather predictable plot twist villain.

Overall, decent.

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.

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?

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.

Bee scientist Rose adopts kitten Beckett after almost hitting him with her car. He grows up to be a fat pampered cat. Rose and fellow scientist Larry come up with an idea to save the bees. Their benefactor Professor Craven seems excited, but he secretly holds a grudge against bees and intends to replace them with robot bees. Beckett accidentally kills himself and it's the last of his nine lives. In cat heaven, DMV agent Grace generously gives Beckett nine more lives but in other animal forms.

This is fine and sweet and cute. The animation is second tier level. It's not the best but it looks generally cute. I like most of the animation designs. Who doesn't love heaven-glasses? The characters look good. The general story concept is good. There is a villain and he's plenty evil. I would make Grace's motivation to send Beckett back clearer and more connected to the need to defeat Professor Craven. The movie should make Beckett an instrument of God in his grand plan. Generally, this is a perfectly cute cartoon.
