Tamala is a cat living on Planet Cat Earth in the Feline Galaxy. In attempt to leave the Feline Galaxy, which is practically owned by a mega corporation called Catty & Co., she crashes on the violence-ridden Planet Q where she meets Michelangelo. Together they have fun, while Tamala seaches for her connections to Catty & Co. and her mysterious homeworld Orion
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
My conception of “punk” must differ from the creators of Tamala 2010. The lead character is feisty enough (she says “f---” a lot), and even skateboards, but she’s owned lock, stock, and oversized eyeballs by the Big Evil Corporation.
The images -- including a giant robotic Colonel Sanders with an ax in its head that walks the streets of Tokyo -- reinforce every paranoid fantasy of a controlled future ever concocted.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A dark allegory and a dazzling example of Japanese anime.
The kind of tale where even viewers who didn't miss a frame will feel as if they entered in the middle, muddled but amusing account of an adorable yet profanity-prone feline who travels through time and space is fueled by irony and incongruity.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
As we are informed in the film’s prologue, "Cats live in loneliness, then die like falling rain." Sh--, man, whatever. This is so stupid it’s positively genius.
Chicago Reader by Reece Pendleton
If you can make any sense of this you've probably been smoking whatever the animators were when they concocted it.
The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson
Tamala 2010 feels like either a singularly detail-organized dream, or an exceptionally formal drug trip.
So spectacularly bent that it exudes a contact cough-syrup high all its own.
Orphans Black and White must fight off assassins' in order to save their town from an angered Yakuza boss.
Humanity isn't something you can take away.
She’s everything. He’s just Ken.
A faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame in the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Lauren and Ned are getting married in 10 days – until her mother goes AWOL in the remote far north of Australia…
Spider-Man faces a crisis from across the multiverse.
When a young woman, Bella, is reanimated by an eccentric physician, she begins her life anew, exploring the pleasures of the world.
