Los Angeles Times by Betsy Sharkey
It's not your typical animated fare, but since the filmmakers can't quite decide whether its tale should be serious or silly, "Cat" trips and stumbles unsteadily between a bit of both.
A charming, visually sparkling Parisian fantasy with a dark edge.
New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier
The charmless but harmless A Cat in Paris hits theaters yet doesn't enchant.
Delightfully old-school on the animation side, but too old-fashioned on the story side, French 2D toon A Cat in Paris is easy enough on the eyes yet never quite justifies feature-length status.
Slant Magazine by Joseph Jon Lanthier
An animated film with the cozy charm of an advertisement for Starbucks French Roast, A Cat in Paris is all design and no danger.
Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
Unoriginal and mired in bad jokes.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
A delightfully stylized caper involving a mute little girl, her pet cat and a cat burglar.

The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson
It's stylish, pretty fun, but not the kind of ambitious effort that should make the world sit up and take notice.
