at three time during this movie i seriously consider walk out ( which i have never do ) . why do i stay . i guess i hop it would take a turn for the good . needless to say and it do not . it only get bad . i think the reason i hat this movie so much be that i want it to be something else . i want an original take on this ancient rivalry and instead of the standard cat bad and dog good . ( forget an original story and i just want a marginally good one . ) i want the animal to be real character and treat with respect and earn our emotional reaction and instead of be use a props hurt and toss around and put into scary situation to manipulate our emotion . that it a kid movie be no excuse . what an insult . kid do not deserve quality entertainment . movie have to be dumbed down for the kid audience . if you can handle watch a disturbing and strange and disconnect family ( and not in a good or funny way ) and a squirmingly bad kid actor and some very ugly cat and sloppy editing and and a many cliche a you could ever want and then go see this movie . there be one or two clever moment and and some of the people around me do seem to enjoy it . but make sure you catch it on dollar night .
