"Cat in Paris" is a 2D cartoon that combines French aesthetics and lighthearted humor. The style of the hand-painted book, Notre Dame de Paris, the Eiffel Tower, etc., which appear in the chase plot, all show a distinct French style. The cats and thieves in it are cool, the dog that barks every time is cute, the psychology and behavior of the head of the crime syndicate are very kawaii, and the maids are portrayed very violently (the description of the fragrance wafting away is a classic). There is also a little oriental temperament. The boxing of the little girl's mother has a Tai Chi style. Generally speaking, the painting style fully demonstrates the more imaginative and unrestrained imagination of cartoons than ordinary movies and the unique charm of movies with painting language.

The story is well told, and the picture transitions are like imaginative shot transitions. The descriptive animation of the black background and white lines after the power failure is beautiful and smooth, and it is closely integrated with the color animation that appears locally when the match is drawn and the flashlight is turned on, which is more interesting than ordinary movies.

Within 1 hour, the plot is tense and unexpected, and it shows warm family, friendship and love everywhere: the tacit cooperation between the cat and the thief, the cat's love and loyalty to the girl, the strong and kindness of the girl's mother. There are also a lot of humorous techniques, so that every tense episode is always surrounded by a light-hearted French humorous atmosphere!

This film has a strong French flavor, and is a good film with a different temperament and style from the United States.
