The film is a biographical film directed by Roger Spotywood and starring Luke Tridway, Ruta Gedmintas, Joann Flogat and Bob the Stray Cat. Adapted from James Bowen's novel of the same name, it tells the story of a down-and-out London street singer who encounters and adopts a ginger-yellow stray cat when he is trying to quit drugs and has a difficult life, and successfully changes his fate with the help of the cat
Buskers and addicts who were once discouraged live a precarious and chaotic life, surrounded by drugs, alcohol and despair. But because of Bob's appearance, James's life has changed dramatically. He relied on tenacious perseverance and Bob's inseparable companionship to get rid of his terrible drug addiction, and it was Bob who brought him good luck. The second sequel tells the story of street performer James Bowen and Bob the Cat who spent their last Christmas together, and one of bob's toughest times with him. Directed by Charles Martin Smith, Luke Tridwell once again plays the embarrassing street singer James, while Bob still plays himself. The sequel, still based on the best-selling novel Bob's Gift, looks back at james and bob the stray cat's last holiday on the streets and how Bob helped him through his toughest times. Luke Tridway returns with Bob the Cat. It was also Bob's last film, and Bob, who is famous for books and movies, died on June 15, 2020, at the age of at least 14.
During the filming of the film, the director once selected ten cat actors, but when James, the original author of the novel and the prototype of the protagonist of the story, brought Bob to visit the class, Bob's charm conquered the director and won the role of the "male" protagonist. Bob personally plays himself in the film, but there are many male protagonists in the film who have just met its bridge, and at this stage, Bob cannot "go back to the past" to recreate the appearance of the male protagonist he just met eight years ago, so the production team still selected 6 orange cats similar to Bob's appearance as stand-ins, and trained in the Canadian training center, so that these cats can make Bob's signature high-fives, as well as jump on the bus, sit next to people and other stunts, but most of the scenes in the film are still starred by Bob himself.
Bob is loved by many people, but also brought happiness to many people, but also everyone's best friend, may stray cats can be accompanied by one person, and the world is gentle.
