Felidae - 1994 Animated Cat Thriller
Watched Felidae, a 1994 German animated feature film, a detective story about cats investigating murders.
It's well-made, interesting, and unusual. Generally, all the well-known, high-quality stuff has already been watched to death, and the less-watched stuff is usually of a lower tier. So, if you love Miyazaki, Tekkonkinkreet, Fantastic Planet, Watership Down or Paprika, this one's worth checking out too.
The premise is simple: a cat named Francis moves to a new place because his owner, who writes pulp novels, frequently relocates for inspiration. In this new place, Francis finds himself surrounded by strange cat murders. He meets the locals and starts investigating.
We watched it with kids, eventhough I'd say it's borderline mature content. Yet we all enjoyed it.
