hyped garbage
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is an odd little short film about a cat named Mons. There will be spoilers ahead:Mons is a cat. Mons is a very hungry, rather greedy cat. You do not want to ask Mons if he is well fed at the moment. Take it as a given that Mons will be hungry. You want some distance between yourself and Mons.Mons's owners, a priest, a boat of fishermen, a king and the sun learn the hard way about Mons and his appetite. But Mons learns a hard lesson of his own near the end of the short and he learns it well. The claymation is excellent and the short is worth viewing just for the animation itself. It's a neat little short, though a bit more one note than perhaps is necessary. Still quite well worth the effort to watch.This is on a Spike and Mike DVD released by Shout! Factory. The DVD is very good.
This short animated film is part of "Spike and Mike's Cutting Edge Classics"--a DVD filled with an hour and a half of very short animated films. Most of them are pretty good and the DVD is much better than the other Spike and Mike one I saw a few months back.The best thing about KATTEN MONS is the incredibly cool claymation art. The story itself of a very, very hungry cat that eats anything and everything is only okay, but it doesn't matter too much since the film is more like a piece of art than a traditional film. As for the clay, the story is told using two-dimensional tableaux that morph and change before your eyes. It's all rather hypnotic and cool and is well worth seeing.FYI--On the same disk is included another one of the director's shorts about a guy who falls in love with a rat. It's REAAALLY weird but the claymation is even better.
