Bad Cat

Everybody knows about the Garfield. The lazy, lasagna loving cat. He would be very sweet cat if you compare him with Kötü Kedi Şerafettin (bad cat şerafettin). He loves drinking rakı (a Turkish alcohol), barbecue, smoking, hitting on other cats on his reign with his famous sentence "do you wanna make up?". He is a caricature character created by Bülent Üstün in 1996.

So now you know about this anti-hero cat lets talk about the movie itself. The script is made of adding up the older famous caricature stories and it can be easily said that şero (şerafettin) kept his origins. There are lots of laugh moments through out the movie and sometimes you just cant stop laughing. Bad language is used which was necessary because of the origin.

The animation was amazing when you think about this movie is one of the first Turkish animation movie. It is world standard from a crew with not that much experience. Istanbul they created is so amazing, you feel like you are in it and only this reason is enough for watching this movie. Apart from the setting characters kept their origin successfully. You can feel the evilness from just a look of Şero.

The only thing that i don't like about this movie is the endless story of the villain itself which repeats so many times that it gets boring in the end.

If you are a fan of Şero or animation movies this is a must for you. Even you don't like this genre this movie can make you smile. Production of this movie was 10 years long and in my opinion all that work created a amazing movie.

Şero is a classical Turkish comics series, it's out-of-boundaries; smoking, drunk, playboy, outspoken cat that basically doesn't care about anything.

It was a great feeling to watch this kind of high quality animation on Turkish movie theaters. Hopefully it will be make worldwide, and people might understand Turkish jokes.

This is not for kids! It's for grown-ups, there is constant swearing, killing, alcohols, drugs, cigarettes etc. This is basically insane if you think of the current status of press freedom in Turkey.

This will be a cult animation movie for Turkey, and hopefully the rest of the world.

Watch this, you'll love it.

-Without any doubt this is the best quality animation movie mad in Turkey !!! -Surprisingly good animation quality is destroyed by the story and and the unmatched annoying voices !!! -The story is rushed and has no point !!! -What happens in one scene does not match or continue in the second scene !!! -It seems like they just put bunch of sketch together to make a movie !!! -The choice of the voice actors is absolutely wrong (none of the voices match the characters, specially Serafettin's voice is extremely annoying) !!! -However as I mentioned the animation quality is absolutely wonderful (for made in Turkey) !!! -It had a huge potential and it was just wasted !!! -Watch it for your own entertainment you might find it better, but for me it was a huge disappointment !!!

Well i don't know if the problem is the English dubbing or the the script itself but i haven't heard that much F words since "The Wolf of Wall Street " !!! i mean come on ... it's like you can't make a funny Anime without adding all of that overused and unnecessary filth !!

I mean the story is meh,, okay maybe not bad , for a developing industry in Turkey but man that was one hell of screenplay !! it was just disconnected and all over the place .. a cat getting shot .. a cat electrocuted to death !! this would have been a really good movie if story was a bit organized .. Anime wise ,, it was really good .. but other than that, i was just waiting for the whole thing to end so i can watch another movie to make forget about it all.

Bulent Ustun's "Kotu Kedi Serafettin" (Bad Cat Serafettin) was a famous monthly comics of the 1990's. Depicted as a stray cat, living in a traditional neighborhood in metropolitan Istanbul, Serafettin, aka "Sero", was a badass, foul-mouthed, villain, sexist, yet a naive and a funny character. In his adventures, he followed is own (macho) ethics. Bulent Ustun's awesome drawings turned adventures of Serafettin to a film-noir like cartoon. Unfortunately, this animation lacks the harshness, and new ideas of Bulent Ustun's drawings and wit. It merely repeats the well-known storylines of former comics.

If you are looking for a children's comics, or maybe an anime, you are in the wrong place. However, miss Kotu Kedi Serafettin, this movie presents a decent animation of Bulent Ustun's famous cartoon.
