Cool Cat Saves the Kids (2015)
This movie is low-budget and the children overact
Cool Cat saves the kids is a virtually harmless move to teach kids morals. The movie itself is poorly funded, has bad actors, and does not display the message in an appealing way. The movie contains a large man in a fur suit 'helping' kids to learn about internet safety. The movie follows a sort of Barney formula in the sense that there is a large man in a animal costume trying to help children. The message of the movie is positive, and I support the message entirely. The story line however was flat, linear, and one-sided. The characters are not at all dynamic and the movie depicts a child being arrested several times, which is very adult for a kids movie. Most kids movies have time out or some sort of 'kid friendly' punishment like time out or no toys for a week. Also, the movie depicted very unrealistic scenarios in internet safety. The main characters fuel the bully's hate, instead of ignoring him, however the message of the movie is to ignore the hater. With two messages being shown to kids, the movie will be very confusing and convoluted. Overall, I rate this movie one-star because it has bad acting, a reused format, unclear messaging, and unrealistic scenarios. Cool Cat can be an influential and inspiring character, but the 'Cool Cat formula' needs some major changes and new actors for the next edition in the saga.
