“Not since Disney's The Aristocats has Paris looked so romantic or mysterious in cartoon form, and the majestic realisation of the city’s evocative architecture and atmospheric use of light and shade ensure this rattling yarn is a visual treat. ”

“There's a touch of Hitchcock here, with a visual style that's half Rugrats and half Chagall.

“Then the film becomes heavy with chases. Cops chase crook; owners chase cat; audience chases vanishing charm, though there is something a bit export-made about this charm even at best. Too many Paris rooftops under moonlight; too many shots of that well-known tower presenting its tourist eyeful.”

“An Oscar nomination was going slightly overboard, but there’s plenty to enjoy in this hand-drawn children’s noir.”

“It looks lovely, its sleazy atmosphere is agreeably stark and its angular characters are imaginatively rendered to evoke the spirit of Picasso – but its story, about a cat with a double life, is silk thin. ”
