A Cat in Paris (Une vie de chat)

The studio behind “Mia & the Migoo” delivers a new animated classic in this beautifully hand-drawn caper set in the shadow-drenched alleyways of Paris. Dino is a pet cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little mute girl whose mother is a detective in the Parisian police force. But at night he sneaks out the window to work with Nico – a slinky cat burglar with a big heart, whose fluid movements are poetry in motion. The cat’s two worlds collide when young Zoe decides to follow Dino on his nocturnal adventures and falls into the hands of a blustery gangster planning the theft of a rare statue. The Seattle Weekly raves: “‘A Cat in Paris’ is a gem, a treat not to be missed by children or their parents (or animation-loving adults without kids)…. The almond eyes, the sailor pants and tiny feet, the sun-washed checkerboard kitchen floors, the soundtrack strains of Billie and Django – all create a storybook Paris of the imagination, of the artist’s easel.”
