Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore DVD
Product Description
In the eternal battle between cats and dogs, one crazed feline
has taken things a paw too far. Former elite agent Kitty Galore
has gone rogue and plans to unleash a diabolical device designed
to not only bring her canine enemies to heel but also to take
down her former kitty comrades and make the world her scratching
post. Faced with this dire threat, cats and dogs must work
together for the first time ever to save themselves and their
beloved humans from global cat-astrophe. This fantastically fun
adventure features the voice talent of Christina Applegate,
Michael Clarke Duncan, Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, James
Marsden, Bette Midler and Nick Nolte and stars Chris O'Donnell
and Jack McBrayer.
A definite improvement over the original 2001
Cats & Dogs,
Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is a brand-new story
about an underground world of animal intelligence, featuring cat
spy agency M.E.O.W.S., a dog intelligence agency, and even a
pigeon. They find themselves in the unlikely position of joining
forces against renegade M.E.O.W.S. agent Kitty Galore as she
seeks revenge against dogs and humans in a plan that will destroy
the human race and allow her to rule the world. This 3-D film is
a blend of live action, puppetry, and animation, and the
combination of better writing and a cast of talented voice
artists makes the animal spies in this sequel much more
believable than in the previous film. Kitty Galore is unlikable
to the core and Bette Midler is absolutely perfect in the role.
Neil Patrick Harris is highly effective as Lou, head of the dog
agency; James Marsden plays the conflicted
police-dog-turned-new-recruit Diggs; Nick Nolte plays fellow
canine agent Butch; Christina Applegate is M.E.O.W.S. agent
Catherine; and Katt Williams as Seamus does a great pigeon. The
unlikely cooperation between canine, feline, and bird leads to an
action-adventure that takes the agents from dark back alleys to a
cat house run by a cat lady pushing catnip and even a local
carnival. The action scenes will hold the interest of most
children ages 6 to 12, though many of the adults in the crowd may
find them rather on the slow side, and kids and adults alike will
chuckle at the silly jokes and slapstick comedy that pop up
throughout the film. A notable laugh for the adults in the
audience comes in an extended scene that clearly invokes Hannibal
Lecter in
The Silence of the Lambs. Add in a robot cat, some silly magician
tricks--including Kitty Galore zipped into a rabbit suit--a
squirrel robot that self-destructs after a quick dance, and the
requisite 3-D effects and you've got a perfectly adequate action
comedy that kids will enjoy and their parents can stomach without
too much complaining.
