Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

laci-5 Did you see Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace? Did you like it? No? Then you were probably not a kid in 1999. Kids loved it very much. Actually they loved the new trilogy more than the old one (22 years difference). Fans of the old trilogy loved the old one more than the new one. It is not too surprising as all these movies were made for 12-year-olds of the time. And it is the same with Macskafogo 1-2, with almost the same time span between the original and the sequel (21 years). Is it weaker than the original? Yes, but just a bit. The story is a bit less and it is less creative (and yes, the middle part drags a bit). Otherwise it's fine, maybe not on the level of Macskafogó but on the same level as e.g. Az Erdö kapitánya or Sárkány és Papucs from the same time. Nice new addition to Hungarian animation. I watched it with children in the cinema. And yes, they loved it.

standardbearer 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.

zoomzoom99 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!!!

freddybates 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.
