CATS AND DOGS

2001

It took me a long time to get around to see this one, but I'm glad I finally did. When a human scientist gets close to creating a cure for people who are allergic to dogs, the cats move in to destroy the scientist's work. A misplaced puppy is the unlikely hero who is placed in the scientist's home and must work with dog secret agents to defend it. Using a mixture of live animals, animatronics and CGI, the secret world of dogs and cats is brought to life in a high-tech, mission impossible style. An impressive cast for the voice talent, listen good and you'll recognize Tobey Maguire, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, and Jon Lovitz. A nice, lighthearted children's movie that won't warp your kid's mind like Pokemon. Heck, I got some real good laughs out of this one.
