After seeing a preview for Cats and Dogs a month or so ago, I was anticipating this movie more than most this summer. The movie looked to be an action packed spy movie with talking animals to boot. Opening the same weekend as Scary Movie 2, I knew that it would bring in the family audience, and I also expected it to be the better of the two in quality.

First off, why all the hate against cats!!! Second, not as funny as I'd remembered it. Too silly for my tastes, but a tip of my hat to Sean Hayes, voicing Mr. Tinkles.

Thankfully, it'll be like a weird dream with very second that ticks more and more will be forgotten.

Forgettable and silly, it doesn't hold up well.

Wären in “Cats & Dogs” die Computereffekte nicht so schlecht und die Animatronics nicht sofort als solche zu erkennen, dann wäre “Cats & Dogs” gleich ein besserer Film. Die Geschichte selbst ist nämlich ganz lustig und auch die Tiere kommen sympathisch rüber.
Nun gut, die Dialoge des Film sind auch nicht gerade auf wirklich anspruchsvollem Niveau, aber die Idee den ewigen Kampf zwischen Hunde und Katzen auf die Leinwand zu bringen ist wirklich witzig. Und vor allem der Beagle Lou versprüht diesen…

Though not a hair as clever as a half-hour of Tom & Jerry, the key to enjoying Cats & Dogs is watching it as you would watch a cartoon. It creates such a believable bizarro world, it ends up with carte blanche to write its own rules. Guterman's direction is slapstick heavy, exceedingly boorish and somewhat lost in the shuffle. What he succeeds in doing is making it fun for an audience to watch cartoonish animals plot against each other. Instead of being a mere Mousehunt 2, it it is nearly Babe-meets-Itchy & Scratchy.

Great children's film about the fight for supremacy between cats (very strangely cast here as the baddies) and dogs (yup, they were the goodies). It was all very silly but very entertaining, especially Mr Tinkles, a wonderful evil leader of all those gorgeous cats. (Oops, Anne, they weren't supposed to be lovely, they were EVIL!)

Ridiculous, even stupid fun. Got some laughs out of me I wasn't expecting.

I'd forgotten this even existed until they released that sequel a year or so ago.

A film that despite being fairly amusing, hasn't aged very well in terms of looks and effects.

The ultimate war is finally revealed. Why are cats evil? Bit harsh.
