French animation has always been beautiful. From "Crazy Dating Mirador", to "Magician", to "Monsters in Paris", which is known to most people, the characters who are more abstract and deliberately exaggerated than Japanese comics, with Background Pictures and Humorous Phrases of French Imagery, supplemented by lazy background music - mostly jazz, the whole French elegance style is like this.

The story of "Cats in Paris" is very compact in more than 70 minutes, and there is not a single frame redundant.
The little girl with autism has a magical cat. During the day, it proudly brings back its prey as a gift for the little girl, usually a lizard, and at night it will climb over the wall and go out with the thief next door to commit a crime, and then snuggle into her arms just before the little girl wakes up to be a good baby - how knows how hurtful other people's cats are!
The little girl's single mother, a policeman, happens to be tracking down a case of jewelry theft in the city. One day, when the little girl's cat brought her back a gift that was not a lizard but a bracelet studded with broken diamonds, it caught her mother's attention.
Although the little girl could not speak, she also felt unusual. She goes out with the cat at night and discovers the thief's secret, but the bigger discovery is that the nanny who takes care of her is actually an undercover agent of a group of Jiangyang thieves. She has been delivering the message of the police mother to the Thieves of Jiangyang.
The little girl was taken hostage by the Jiangyang thieves. The thief found that the little girl had been kidnapped while returning the cat and managed to rescue her.
The story naturally ends with the bad guys being brought to justice. And the thief saved the little girl, and the little girl's mother also formed a friendship.

Simple and magical isn't it? As if knowing that this story will bring smiles to people of all ages, the entire animation screen in addition to following the French style of unsympathetic details beautiful and ugly character line style, and even further use of color thick saturation color blocks to play freely, bold with exquisite humor and small cleverness, the core of the police, thieves, Jiangyang thieves the story is very novel, cute, easy and interesting.
For example, the soft thief will catch and send back the flowerpot accidentally touched by the window when the cornice walks on the wall; for example, the unlucky dog who obviously found the enemy and kept barking wildly and finally being considered by the owner to be annoying and had a slipper; and the stupid and stupid little thief in Jiangyang who could not please the boss no matter what, the most wonderful of course is how he used his own advantages and wisdom whenever the thief appeared.
In the opening burglary, he successfully and the cat lightly obtained the property, the music suddenly turned sharp, the cat's hair stood upside down, and a person appeared in front of him. But this person was invisible, except for the outer canopy like a cold star dotted with dark blue velvet like twinkling eyes. hush.........
The thrilling moment of later rescuing the little girl was just the opposite. He cleverly extinguished the power of the Jiangyang thieves, took his glasses that could see in the dark and the cat to find the little girl together, and at the moment when he was about to go out, one of the thieves lit up the lighter - naturally it was the fight that should be hit, the chase that should be chased, and the audience held the breath for a long time with nervousness.

Reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's "The Cat's Reward."] Everyone knows how elegant and perfect the cat earl is, the whole story is as fresh as a fairy tale, the little girl was invited to the cat kingdom as a concubine because she saved the cat prince of the cat kingdom... Sigh.
The cats here are obviously more cunning and skinny. Of course, it is a good cat, will know to bring back the prey to the little girl every day, will know how to follow the thief without a sound, and finally go to the rescue with the breath of the little girl, this cat is more like a partner who can fight side by side with the enemy, and fight for a bright future with the people he likes.
Two years ago in Britain, there was a special healing book about an orange cat named Bob who sold on the streets with his owner every day, and later led the addicted homeless owner to a new life.
And this cat in Paris, while enjoying his double cat life, caught the thief, extinguished the hatred (the thieves had killed the little girl's father before), rescued the little girl, and finally let the little girl's police mother and the thief walk together.
Is it only in romantic France that there is such a lovely cat and love? Je ne sais pas，Je ne sais pas。
