Great Film overall

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

First I have to tell you that you shouldn't believe in extreme criticism (good or bad) about this movie. It's simply not as good or bad. Just a quite entertaining afternoon cinema experience.The main problem with this film, that beyond everything, it wants to be a sequel. Not a standalone movie, but just a sequel. I find pretty unfortunate to see ALL the characters from the first movie, for that means, We have to compare the two to each other, and if one hasn't seen the prequel, the legendary "Cat City", he/she wont understand a word.Anyway, the story goes like this: Stanley, the journalist mouse takes a journey into the deepest jungles of Pafrika, to find professor Livingstone. He finds the professor, and takes his way back (a really funny part of the movie), but gets captured by savage cats! If you've seen Cat City, you know, that all cats are brainwashed, and under mouse-control. If you haven't, Stanley's gonna tell you. The savage cats then summon Moloch, a cat-demon from cat-hell, who leads their cat uprising against the mice. Moloch and the savages wake the cat population from their former slumber, and of course, war breaks out. Stanley, and his new jungle-friend Torzon rushes back to Cin City, to alert the Intermouse and Grabowsky again. Grabowsky (former super agent from the first movie, now the owner of a gigantic spinach-farm), knows that the only way to stop the cats from revolting (and killing everyone), is to start up the good old "Cat-Catcher" again...This movie is just as violent and crazy most times, as the first one, but the jokes which this behavior brings, are just out of the movie. You'll never get immersed. Although it's quite entertaining at some parts, you'll always be reminded, that you're just watching a movie. Most likely from one of the main characters. This way, it all gets really weightless, and you find yourself not caring about the characters, and forgetting all the good jokes, and quotes (wich is a pity, because it has many).And it's not just the story that falls apart. Another thing that annoyed me much, is the unaware way it's mixing all styles of cartoons. For example: Moloch looks like a Disney character, and it has computer animation, half of the character looks exactly like they did in Cat city, half of them look much more simple, and cartoonish. The same thing can be discovered in animation, for all characters move VERY differently, and sometimes they even switch the technique as the film advances. And again, the 3d installments are a bit confusing too. Sometimes, they look gorgeous, and sometimes... well they don't. It really looks strange, and not very sophisticated.That is a major pain about this film. I think If they'd have one more year to work on it, and think everything over again, it could be a great movie. I hope they make a double DVD pack from this and Cat City and this time they REALLY fix the sound and the picture digitally.

Cat City. The classic cartoon movie was a perfect hand-drawn movie, with a silly, but funny plot, and with great jokes. But what about the sequel? I must say, it is perfect, too. Yeah, it's not as good as the first, but still amazing, with lovely new characters. The best thing in the movie, is the fact, that our favorites, the old characters are back. Wait...it's not the best thing. The best things are the jokes! The scenes like Bob Polajkov, the two mouse-guards, the rats and the poker-party are unforgettable. I really like it, it's (too) short, but it has worth the 20-years waiting.SPOILER!!! SPOILER!!! People ask, why is Safranek in bandage at the end of the movie. Well, the answer: When Safranek asks "What about peace between us?" from Grabowsky, Teufel says: "Safranek, please, come with me to my office." Well...poor Safranek. :) SPOILER END!!!

Calling this movie a piece of junk is in fact an overstatement. I didn't have great expectations, after all 20 years have passed and sequels almost never can hold the level set by the original movie, but this one falls flat even without expectations.While the first movie had a story that contained a lot of humorous elements, this one tries to make us laugh while building a fake story around the pretended and forced laughs. Thes laughs become boring after the first 10-15 minutes. It was quite stunning that all the people sitting there with me waited for something to happen, but that something didn't seem to happen. In the final 30 minutes I heard no laughs from the audience.What's the story about? A journalist mouse called Stanley finds a remote cat tribe in the jungle that hasn't become pacified by the evil robot dog machine created by the mice in the first part. Upon learning this fact from the trapped Stanley, the cats seek revenge and try to help their comrades. So they summon Moloch, who is the deputy Satan in cat hell. From this point on, we see a remake of the movie's first part, although this time the creators spiced it up with a little Matrix-style-kick-ass scene and some Pokémon frenzy. This may make the population under 10 years laugh, but the movie's main audience is in its 20s or above.The creators also throw in some old characters for good, but even these characters seem tired and boring. The rats (4 gangsters) have some good scenes, but their vocalization is so bad that even these scenes fail to entertain. By the way, when we first meet the rats, we are already so numb from the previous scenes that no laughs are provoked. Dick, who lives with the blood sucking rats in Mexico, also comes back and he is a good epitome for the movie. He's tired. He's old, but tries to look young and fresh. He was once funny and believes that he's still funny. He's not. It's like entering the Epson derby with the Trojan Horse.What's the final analysis? This is crap and so bad that it doesn't deserve a single point. This is a zero or rather a minus ten. This is how not to make a movie. This is how to spoil fun. This is how to throw mud into your own face and the audience. What a waste.

I saw this movie, and i did not like it.The first movie was much better. I am a Hungarian, and i think Macskafogó (Cat City) is the best Hungarian cartoon.I did not know, why they made a sequel to this, but i hoped, it will be good. Well, its not good. If you want to see a good Hungarian movie, than watch the first movie, because that's a very good movie, not like this one. This movie is a a shame, from the beginning to the end! I think, the director of the first movie did a big mistake, when he made a sequel to the movie.
