Customer Reviews of Catnapped! The Movie
Crazy & Original After neglecting his dog Papadoll, Toriyasu loses him and doesn't know where to find him. Will Papadoll even want to come back to Toriyasu, after he neglected him before? Catnapped (1995) is zany and crazy; the backgrounds are very colorful, but strange. The scenery is gorgeous and it really reminds me of Little Nemo. Both boys and girls would like it. I got interested in it when I found out it was directed by the same director as Akira, Takashi Nakamura.
What I like most is the really good-looking character animations; they're wonderful. They are beautiful anthropomorphs. They're cute, but not babyish. The music is good. The animated frame rate is as good as you can get for an anime, it never seems stiff. As a university student, the overall tone is a little childish, but it is really hilarious and entertaining, so that makes up for it. Monster Papadoll is hysterical; he's cute but freaky. It's light-hearted and there is action, but not violence. If you are looking for a movie that's dark or scary, this will not do. The DVD is bilingual and it includes character information. By the way, it's normal for kid shows in Japan to have swears, so note there are some swears in the subtitled format. Catnapped is an unexpected anime and it's very creative and original. I'm glad I own it.
Over-the-top Anime Cuteness!
CATNAPPED! is one of a very few anime titles that is genuinely a children's story. This delightful tale is perfect for anyone from pre-teen to toddler, but probably a bit too simplistic for older children. Adults will enjoy it as a throw-back to simpler, more innocent times.
The story revolves around a young boy, his younger sister, and a kidnapped pet dog. Well, actually, the dog hasn't been kidnapped, he's been CATNAPPED! The poor pooch has been shanghied to an alien world inhabited entirely by cats. How our intrepid hero and heroine, with their entourage of catlike allies, rescue their pet and save the CatWorld is the bread and butter of this tale.
CATNAPPED! is animated in a simpler style than most anime films. It is far more cartoonish than its near computer-graphic quality cousins. However, this is a plus, not a minus. The characters and scenery are simple, bright, bold and colorful, sure to hold a younger viewers attention. While the action is non-stop, there is no violence, strong-language or sexual content of any kind.
If you are looking for a gentle, fun film to share with your children, or to help you enjoy a few minutes reclaiming your own childhood, CATNAPPED! is an excellent choice. It won't please the Dragonball Z, martial arts crowd, but for simple, colorful entertainment, it hits the mark. Highly recommended.
what is the difference?
I have the regular DVD version of Catnapped. My kids (especially my 7 yr old daughter) love to watch it. You can't go wrong purchasing this for adult or child viewing...it's really that good.
I just need to know what the Geneon version offers that is not on the regular version? Is there a commentary track? What exactly is different?
