The Dog Who Was a Cat Inside

Bob the Moo is a wonderful reviewer. His reviews are usually very detailed and I almost always find myself agreeing with him (provided, of course, I'd seen the film in question). However, this is an odd case where I have almost the opposite opinion about the film! This doesn't happen every day!

While he liked the art and not the story, I felt differently. Although the art was very original, it also was very loud and simplistic--it just didn't do a lot for me. I did like the backgrounds that looked very Parisian, but that is all. However, the story of a dog with a cat trapped inside made a lot of sense to me--especially since I have three cats and a dumb dog who really does think that he's a cat (or the cats are really dogs). This being trapped in the wrong body could of course be a metaphor for transsexuality and perhaps that was the film makers' intention--but I sure could relate to a much more basic and superficial meaning behind the film.

Overall, a pleasant diversion but not a film you should rush to see.
