So good so far
martinleroux-2195822 April 2024
10 Lives is a whimsical film that offers moments of charm and amusement, but ultimately falls short of its potential.

One of the film's strengths is its visual appeal, with vibrant animation bringing the cat's world to life in vivid detail. The character design is particularly impressive, capturing the essence of each feline personality with delightful expressiveness.

However, where "10 lives" falters is in its narrative structure. The episodic nature of Whiskers' adventures feels disjointed, and the plot lacks a cohesive arc to tie everything together. As a result, the film struggles to maintain momentum and engagement throughout its runtime.

Additionally, while the humor in "10 lives" is occasionally amusing, it often relies on tired clichés and slapstick gags that may elicit only mild chuckles from viewers. The dialogue is also somewhat lacking in wit and originality, failing to fully capitalize on the potential for clever cat-centric humor.

Anyway I support it, go and watch the film.

Solid animation but not the greatest animated movie
chenp-5470829 January 2024
Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Clearly, this movie isn't for me and really for children. I do enjoy some children's animation as I love to support animators and animation movie creating some interesting stories. But this animated movie felt dry and lacking to what could have been an pretty entertaining story.

Throughout, the animation models, colors, and designs were solid as there are some good structures but some structures look poor like some kind of bad social media animated app. The voice performances were solid but some of the performances, especially the main lead, was pretty annoying. The narrative is an interesting concept about nine lives and cats but because of the bland direction, the writing doesn't feel as creative nor engaging to connect with.

The characters weren't really interesting and I found myself pretty bored. Animated movies usually shouldn't bore me even if they are not my demographic but this one really seems to hit the note.

Overall, not a very good movie. If you want a fun cat animated movie, I recommend The Amazing Maurice as that movie has some creative ideas and fun characters.

All Dogs Go To Heaven + Rover Dangerfield

This movie is about as generic as a CGI animated film can be (the poster is highly misleading by the way, since it's in 2D). The main character self-narrates, sometimes as a voice and sometimes as the character himself in the story, which is a choice I guess. Overall, Beckett is fairly unlikeable, being that kind of protagonist that has to go through a lesson.

On the plus side, it truly shows the wonders in cat ownership, and the bee preservation plot is fairly original and commendable since this is a serious issue. On the other hand, it leads to a rather predictable plot twist villain.

Overall, decent.

Cat-tastic fun!!!
czsptxhz7 April 2024
It's a cat-tastic, barkingfun family easy film, nothing fishy about it at all. No need to have your tail between your legs.

Great cast good one liner's, even with all the horsing around. Definitely want a Pint with the Pets.

Lovely and Grace-ful movie, heavenly warming.

Pizza might not look the same in the future though.

All round good family fun, yes bit predictable at times, but so are all films A lovely simple idea and good bad life lessons. No need to badger anyone over it.

But it's nice and easy fun movie to watch. Nice a beesy a good buzz to it, nothing

Can you guess all the lives?

Not Worth The Money
bastianngo6 May 2024
As someone who loves cat and would watch any movie that has cat in it, I have to say this movie is absolute garbage. I get it, it's a kid movie, but it seems they didn't even try with the animation nor the plot. The antagonist's motive was the weakest and the most stupid I've ever seen in history.

Movie like this is why modern cinema is dying. You would think to make it to the big screen, the movie's quality has to be up there, after watching this movie, I realize that the standard bar is disrepectfully low.

It was my mistake to spend any money at all to see this movie, I would recommend you save money for something else better.

Here Comes Mr. Jordan Meets Groundhog Day.
gideonbernstein-8737322 April 2024
This is an animated movie about a selfish cat named Beckett who dies while tormenting his owner's clumsy boyfriend. Because of his selfishness, he is doomed to that old Lake of Fire, but he convinces the angel handling his case to give him nine more lives to be better, only they aren't in the form of a cat but nine other animals.

I must say that this is a very amusing animated feature. It helps brake the stereotype that cats are selfish creatures who could care less about humans, and I am not just saying this because I am a cat person. I am more than delighted to give this movie 9 out of ten stars.
