Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this movie on Pay-Per-View a month or two ago for my kids to watch (toddlers), because the animation looked relaxing.
Interestingly, there is no comprehensible dialogue in the entire movie. In that, it is somewhat akin to Wall-E or, perhaps, a Cirque du Solei show. It is a Hungarian movie, so I assume the goal was to make a movie that could be enjoyed by people who do not speak Hungarian.
The plot is interesting. A farmer and his very fat cat find some NASA wreckage and the farmer, who likes to tinker in a home-made observatory, quickly throws together a space ship and sets off to find the place where the wreckage came from. Turns out, the man and his cat are aliens (so, strictly speaking, they are neither a human, nor a cat).
I do not want to say too much about it, but I was swept away by the visuals, and the soundtrack was also very well done. I was particularly impressed with the farmer and his cat flying through our solar system checking each planet to see which one was the right one -- I think I actually learned a bit about the planets. Overall, this movie was a great surprise, fully of charm and whimsy. It also had an unmistakable foreign feeling, like Spirited Away or Les Triplettes de Belleville, or even Wallace and Grommit.
I think this movie is good for kids of any age, and adults, too. To be clear, this is a review of the movie, not the DVD itself.
