DVD Reviews of Cats Don't Dance

DVD Review: Fantastic movie, Horrible dvd release
Summary: 1 Stars

I loved this movie when it was released in theaters. I loved it when it was released on Laserdisc (widescreen). I was very excited about the DVD release, hoping for a widescreen edition and maybe some extras. Full screen and bare bones is what we got. What a HUGE disappointment. I'll keep watching my widescreen Laserdisc until this movie gets the DVD or blu-ray release it deserves. But, I'm not holding my breath.

DVD Review: Arrived on time. Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of favorite childhood movies, and one of the first that actually had an appeal to me beyond the action and staged violence that a young boy usually goes for in movies. This movie I believe was considered a flop by Warner Bros, but I really thinks that is only because not enough people saw the movie during its debut or had even heard of it. I think this movie could easily stand with all of the big Disney/Pixar movies that were a part of many a person's childhood.

It is a cute show for little ones, my granddaughter who is 2 loves it.

DVD Review: Beware: NOT widescreen version
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a delightful film, no matter what your age is. The animation is spirited and brilliantly executed, the characters are a joy, especially Darla Dimple: a cross between Shirley Temple and a hysterical "Mommy Dearest" Joan Crawford, and the story is engaging. The color styling is glorious.
The songs are just fine, and wonderfully sung. All these wonderful things were combined into a widescreen film that pulls the viewer in to a magical, musical world of beauty and humor. Dvds were created to convey just this type of magnificence to the television screen.
In what has got to be one of the goofiest, bone-headed lapses of logic EVER, this dvd does NOT feature the widescreen version. Instead, we get a full-screen movie, with characters on the screen's edge (or not at all). Still, it's better than nothing. If it were widescreen, I'd give it 5 stars. (I give the original movie 10 stars).
If this movie comes out on widescreen on Blue-Ray disc, I'll definitely get it. If and when.

DVD Review: Cat's Do Dance
Summary: 5 Stars

My son really enjoys playing this DVD (over and over) and the product, including the case, was in excellent condition!

Description of Cats Don't Dance

The rags-to-riches story of Danny, a talented cat whose lifelong goal of movie stardom is sidetracked when he discovers only humans get the good roles in Hollywood. On the big screen, animals can bark, meow or moo, but cats don't dance. Danny vows to break through the "species barrier" and prove that dreams really can come true.

Actually, cats do dance, and there are a lot of little cat feet tapping all over this odd animated film. Complaints about originality can't be leveled here; the film works within the confines of the musical genre, but there's never really been anything like this. Danny the cat is from Kokomo, and he's got a short list of things he has to do to become a big star in Hollywood. Unfortunately, he's unaware that animals, even talented ones, aren't even considered for showy parts in films. They're considered window dressing for humans, especially big stars such as Darla Dimple, the unlikely antagonist here. The music is by Randy Newman, and it's not really his best, but toe tapping may occur. The animation is reminiscent of an upgraded Animaniacs, and there's a frenetic, jittery sense to the scenes (mostly dealing with slapstick humor). Older fans of animation or bygone Hollywood will have much more to appreciate here than small children, but that's refreshing in itself. --Keith Simanton
