The Rabbi's Cat (2011)

This is one of those definitely not for children animated movies.  It deals with racism, tensions in the Middle East, the hatred between Muslims and Jews and why it makes no sense since they share a god and a history, and then why you sometimes have to go on a quest even when you are pretty sure that it will not end well.
The title character is not your everyday cartoon fluffy kitty. He's scrawny, apparently hairless and unapologetically disputatious. The animated world he inhabits is no kid-friendly adventure but a philosophical quarrel in the form of a frenetic road trip through 1930s Africa to find Ethiopia, the "African Jerusalem".
Based on several volumes of the graphic novel series by Joann Sfar, the hand-drawn film uses a rich palette and a mix of visual styles ranging from blunt to dazzling to tell the story in a way that is somewhere between comical and horrifying.
