chabchab All in all it is one of the most awful movies I have yet seen. Acting, bad; directing, bad; SGI BAD; dubbing, horrible. First, story in the book might have made sense, but this movie had no story line that could been followed. Catwoman appears at a creepy guy's shabby place (creepy guy, because his only friend is the landlady's 12 year old daughter). Actor of the main guy could not make me like him in this role no matter what. Just simply creepy. The dubbing was like a Japanese movie parody. Mouths and speech was off sync. Catwoman (actress allergic to cats) trying to imitate a feline, but even tho she has charm, she has no cat quality to her. There is no real plot other than trying to unmask the baddie and collecting cat gossip in the town. If you have seen Cats and Dogs you might expect better animal SGI. The cats in most part looked like worn out shabby stuffed toys, even the real live kittens looked like their furs were matted and mangy. The mouth animation was so painfully awful it made me cringe. Cats and Dogs, came out the same time had much higher standards. The the motion of the puppets was choppy and unrealistic. Instead of watching this movie try do somethings else, you never gonna get back that hour and a half. Never.

Boba_Fett1138 This is a great movie for kids. The story is very simple and doesn't also make sense but therefor is perfectly easy and fun to follow for the young ones. Also cat lovers will simply adore this movie, the cats play quite a prominent role in the movie and the trained cats are mixed in well with the good and convincing looking puppet-doubles.The movie is very childish, so childless-adults beware! This probably isn't the right movie for you to watch. I can babble on about the technical aspects and acting in this movie but it don't think that's completely relevant for this movie. This movie is obviously made for young children, who don't care about any of the technical aspects of a movie. So parents simply stop reading now and just buy/rent this movie for your children already! They will have fun and be entertained by it.It isn't really a movie were an awful lot is wrong with, it's just a movie that is too simple in every way, to be considered a great and memorable movie. I also have to say that I wasn't exactly fond of the musical score by Peter Vermeersch. It's this typical simple musical score, were I can't quite put my finger on, or describe it to you. To put it short and simple (just like this movie), it was just terrible to listen to.The cast consists out of many well known Dutch actors and a famous voice cast for the cats. Pierre Bokma is on of the best Dutch actors at the moment and he plays a great and enjoyable villain role in this movie. This was Carice van Houten's big breakthrough movie and she is currently filming "Zwartboek" with Paul Verhoeven, in which she plays the main role. The voice cast has some recognizable voices in it, especially Wim T. Schippers, who is the Dutch voice for Kermit the Frog and Ernie for the Dutch "Sesame Street" and who believe it or not, actually used the live in the same street as I did, here in Groningen. And no, with the same street I don't mean that I lived in Sesame Street...I haven't read the book this movie is based on, written by Annie M.G. Schmidt, so unfortunately I can't comment on whether or not this movie is loyal enough, to the book its story and atmosphere.It isn't a great or remarkable movie but children will simply be entertained by it and that's the most important thing of course.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

mariawong_99 I feel the earlier 2 comments were very detailed and sufficient. Nevertheless would like to add on some personal comments.I have just watched this movie at the European Film Festival here in KL. Having lived in Malaysia for 26 years it was a real treat to watch a Dutch movie on the big screen here. It made me feel quite nostalgic to see all the typical Dutch scenery, habits and other trivia. And then those cats attributed with typical Dutch characters. Lovely! The audience here was of the same opinion as I heard a lot of them laughing out loud. This movie is especially great for children AND adults with a ticklish inner child!! Praise for the acting of Carice van Houten. I thought she was more real and believable as a catwoman than Halle Berry!

Remster If you like European films like Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, you'll most certainly want to see this one, because it's got the same charm and will give you a good feeling afterwards. I'm not sure this movie's available overseas in the U.S., but if you can get your hands on it, buy it, you won't be disappointed!
