The film is directed directed by the French animation team of Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagno, and it is wonderfully whimsical. The images in “A Cat in Paris” are pointedly and delightfully off-kilter and out of proportion. Feet are much too small for bodies. Perspectives shift and slide. Apparently solid objects have a tendency to wobble. The laws of physics are brazenly flouted.
The cat and the little girl are our heroines--the cat is house cat by day, cat burglar by night. She slinks off in the evening to join Nico, a human cat burglar. The girl's mother is a police detective, and a major league bad guy has killed her father, and is after the rest of the family. Never fear, the forces of good will prevail, but there is a nice amount of French farce in between to make the cartoon a romp of good fun.
