Console best movie i've ever seen.

nagyedina ***Spoiler Alert*** A plot is so funny and clever at the same time: It is started with a star wars-like way. On planet X, after Mickey Mouse the cats want to enslave the mice. Their only hope is the retired Intermouse agent, named Grabovsky. He is a James Bond-kinda secret agent character. Grabovsky is sent to Pokyo to get the secret plan of a machine, made by professor Fushimisi. Mr Fritz Teufel, the malignant cat hires four gangster rats to prevent Grabovsky's mission. Furtunatelly, Grabovksy succeeds the action and get the secret plan owing to his friend, Lusta Dick and the Mexican bats. The secret machine is a Cat Trapper, that transforms evil cats into lovely and tamed kittens. And the world became a better place. In my opinion, CatCity is the last valuable Hungarian production for years. This cartoon is cannot be watched enough times even if you are a child or an adult. As for me, I did not expect this kind of experience! It contains all the necessary details for a good movie: action, good sense of humour, character developments, intelligent dialogues, interesting happenings and a clever end game. It is a must-to-watch cartoon. :)

anton-kaplenko Short version: if you grew up in the 80's in Eastern Europe, you owe it to yourself to watch "Cat City". You'll see why.Long version: a full-length animated film set in a universe populated by cats, rats, and mice. It's a detective story/action-flick, with all the trimmings - gangsters, secret science projects, mafia bosses, hot girls, and rocket-launcher-equipped cars (hello, Mr. Bond). There are a LOT of 80's references, excellent humor, and incredible quality of animation. It's "James Bond" for kids. But there's more to "Cat City" than just action. It's one of those films that you see as a kid, and decades later, come back to it and rediscover it all over again - and more, since now you get the jokes and memes that you didn't have a frame of reference for as a kid. It's "Cinema Paradiso" with fur. A (nearly-)forgotten treasure from 3 decades ago.In terms of historical significance, it's a time-capsule of subtle mockery of Communism, done with more honesty and attention to detail than any Disney animation could ever hope to be. The creators of "Cat City" weren't doing it for money or fame (which would have made it hopelessly cliché). It's one of those rare works of fiction that makes it past the censors because the censors could never begin to understand the hidden layers of meaning behind the animation frames. Just like Bulgakov and Brodsky's writing is infused with hints that only Soviet Russians could understand, "Cat City" is filled with commentary on the Communist reality of 1980's Hungary, and by extension, the entire Eastern Bloc.In terms of animation quality, "Cat City" is on par with "Grave of the Fireflies" and "Barefoot Gen". In terms of adorableness, it's not quite "My Neighbor Totoro", but close. Overall, a very well-made work of animation, from an era that's long gone, but has affected millions of lives. 8/10 for the quality, +1 for nostalgia, +1 for the memes & jokes = 10/10.

oscarfanatic Movies like this are not very available to the American public. American films are available around the world because we apparently have a corner on the entertainment market, and if a film wants to find real widespread love and recognition, it must, more often than not, make a transition into the American market.And I think that is sad.Naturally, our language barriers keep us from appreciating this wonderful "Cat City" as do the Hungarians who so finely produced it, but still, this movie is a witty satire, a spoof of great film genres, and surprisingly political in how it deals with names and the skin color of the rats. It's a film about your place in the big picture, about who's in control and why.A great film find, one of animated brilliance. This animated film was thousands of times better than many animated American films I have grogged my way through over the years. I just really really hate that more people cannot see films like this and appreciate them for what they are: true pieces of art in the highest form.

srobi280 This movie is my favorite cartoon of my childhood. It is still my favorite, and is best viewed in it's original Hungarian version (if you speak the language, or course). It is basically a James Bond style cartoon, where the cats and mice are at war. It is up to Grabovszky and the help of his friends to stop the cats. This cartoon has many memorable characters, such as the musical Mexican bats, led by Maxipocak, the meddling gangster rats Pissy, Cookie, Buddy, and Billy, the bumbling police officer Lusta Dick, the evil Mr. Teufel and his meek assistant Safranek, and the "don" of the gangster cats, Mr. Gato. This cartoon is a classic. It should be on the Top 250. I have seen the English translation, and it isn't nearly as good as the original, but it is still great.
