epik_noodlesAnyone ever seen this movie?
Cats Don't Dance (1997) by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Cats Don't Dance is my all time favorite animated movie. This was the only non-Disney film where I found the songs to be quite addicting.
I hadn't seen this movie in a really long time. Actually, I haven't seen this since I was a kid. I had the sudden urge to watch it again. Just yesterday I was looking up some American animated films that I haven't watched yet, like "Surf's Up", I was in the mood for penguins. On the animated movies list Cats Don't Dance was listed, but it was already late, so I went to sleep. I just downloaded it today.
The movie follows a simple storyline.
The main character "Danny the cat" (on the right) has big dreams of becoming a Hollywood star, so he journeys from Kokomo, Indiana to Hollywood, California where he has many musical adventures with his new co-stars.
However, on Danny's path to stardom, there must be a villainous antagonist.
The villain in this movie is the adorable child actress "Darla Dimple," but of course she hides behind the facade of "America's sweetheart, lover of children and animals," but deep down inside she cares about no one but herself. That mass of innocence is nothing more than an harbinger of doom. In the entire movie, whenever Danny gets close to accomplishing something, Darla Dimple and her monstrosity of a butler always finds a way to sabotage Danny. In order to keep Darla's fame and reputation secure, Darla psychotically sabotages everything. It makes the audience feel bad for Danny.
But in the end, during the the final song, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now!", all of Darla's futile attempts to destroy Danny's chance to stardom only makes Danny's performance better. At the end of the show, Darla's true face is revealed to the public as an evil selfish child and as her career plummets, Danny becomes a new rising star.
No matter how hard you try to destroy someone's dream...
Dreams are indestructible, get a life!
