Nominated for Best Animated Film Rob had to find this one for me since Netflix dropped the ball. I've not seen very many French cartoons. They're hard to find in the States. This one is very cute. The style reminds me of art deco posters.
By day, Dino the cat belongs to Zoe, a little girl who has given up speech after her father was killed by a gangster named Victor Costa. By night, Dino roams the rooftops of Paris with Nico, a jewel thief. One night, Zoe decides to follow her prowling tom and falls right into Victor Costa's hands. Nico comes to the rescue but gets arrested by Zoe's mom, also a cop. He must convince her to let him go and work together to rescue the little girl.
There were a few very funny moments, including a running gag involving a neighbor's dog, but overall I felt the movie was very serious. You could still let your kids watch it but I would suggest you sit with them the first time, just in case.
