EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Irishchatter You know, I really thought I was never going to like this movie since the sister on this was quite annoying, but as I went along with it, I kicked back, relaxed and enjoyed it! I found out about this movie through animelist and since I really enjoyed "the cat returns", it gave other anime movie recommendations that are relating to it and this movie was the #1 spot! So I asked myself why not? and gave it a watch! I hated the fact it gave us a cliffhanger in the end, like its 22 years now and we still haven't figured out what the next message was for the kids to hear about and if Princess Buburina was causing chaos again? I suppose she would because she wasn't "fully" defeated yet. Or even will her companion Doh-Doh be the leader this time and have Chuchu fight against him? I really like this anime regardless of the cliffhanger as it was enjoyable and like as an animal lover, it does brighten up your day like it is a pretty much upbeat movie! I'll give this 8/10

Atreyu_II This movie was nothing special. Although it did have a plot, it was far from being intriguing and involving. To try is one thing, to get the job done is another. There were many plot holes and flaws. Many of the characters couldn't captivate, were underdeveloped and lacked any real chemistry. Papadoll was one of the few really likable characters, especially as a massive flying monster. Papadoll is an ordinary house dog that was mysteriously turned into this giant - the explanation for this is bizarre: because he is touched by the sun twice.There was very little of memorable in this movie. I'm not big on anime films in the first place, their artwork isn't my cup of tea, but this one in many ways was weak in artwork even by anime's standards. In conclusion, it's just another ordinary anime effort.

dbborroughs Just finished a bit of anime called CATNAPPED. Its about two kids who are taken to a world of cats in order to rescue their dog, and help stop a wicked princess. Its fun. Its not perfect and should be longer then the 75 minutes of its running time. Its one of those movies, and lord knows there aren't many, that has its heart in the right place. Its one where because you get this vibe off it that it knows what its doing even if its not perfectly done.... I think there are things I would have done differently but I won't quibble since I simply enjoy whats there. I have no idea how the dub is since I have it subtitled, but that said its a cool movie with everyone turning into balloons

xredgarnetx CATNAPPED!, directed by an artist who worked on the groundbreaking anime classic, AKIRA, makes for lively fare for the very young and young at heart. A young brother and sister go in search of their missing dog, which has been stolen by other-dimensional cats and brought to their world, which sits atop a giant sleeping cat! For some arcane reason, their sun has turned the beleaguered pooch into a giant, goofy-looking monster that can fly and does the bidding of an evil cat queen. The kids arrive to save the day, but only after much travail. CATNAPPED! sounds like a Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli effort, although it is not. However, it is a nicely executed anime with colorful characters and backdrops. The cats travel around in bizarre, circus-like balloons, for instance, and the evil queen's touch turns the cats into helpless balloon animals. CATNAPPED! may remind some of THE ADVENTURES OF LITTLE NEMO IN SLUMBERLAND, which has a similar circus-like atmosphere. Worth a look if you enjoy Miyazaki-style anime.
