A Cat in Paris(Une vie de chat)

The Guardian by Andrew Pulver

It's a slight, attractive tale: a childlike fable of a little girl and her preternaturally intelligent cat that swiftly devolves into a very old-school cops and robbers yarn.

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.

Empire by David Parkinson

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.

Variety by Jordan Mintzer

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.

Movieline by Stephanie Zacharek

The picture sparkles, but in the nighttime way - its charms have a noirish gleam.

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.
