Very Cool!!!

It is a performances centric movie

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This six minute short is mostly animated in the style of the popular long running Batman television series and it certainly benefits from that.The one major difference is the lack of dialogue and sound effects, the soundtrack is entirely musical which makes quite memorable.It tells the brief story of Batman chasing Catwoman across Gotham after he catches her rifling through a safe. That's basically it, but what more could they do with such limited time?Well animated this is quite a neat little short, really not sure about the choice of music but I guess it fits well with the Batman setting.Fun harmless little short, just be aware of the lack of substance.The Good:Animation styleFinale is quite interestingThe Bad:Music grinded a little bitThings I Learnt From This Short:Selina needs a tan

"Chase Me" is an American 6-minute cartoon from 2003, so this one will have its 15th anniversary next year already. Writer and director is Curt Geda and if you take a look at his body of work, you will see that he has worked on quite a few animated superhero films in his career. this is one of them as Batman is in the center of it all. Bruce Wayne is throwing a party at his house and all the girls are after this handsome man. But he is genuinely bored and Catwoman having a night out makes almost for a delightful change for him. There he goes and the two are on the same level in terms of their skills and speed. this is a pretty fast action-based duel for the most part, but at the end it also has some nice depth when we seem him looking her direction again as she managed to pull him out of the boredom. No spoken language in this little film as we hear music from start to finish while watching what's going on. I cannot deny I somewhat enjoyed it and this includes both the style as well as the story and emotion somewhat attached to it. there is a sense of longing, maybe belonging even, in this work and it makes me curious about Geda's other works. I recommend checking it out, for Batman fans even a must-see because it feels somewhat different compared to your usual superhero movie, like the film equivalent of a glass of cognac in the evening.

This half-assed short features Bruce Wayne being bored at a swanky party in the city. When he catches Catwoman in the middle of a burglary he gives chase across various bits of Gotham before stealing a kiss when handcuffing her to a gate.The short isn't very well presented, and seems to be exist only to give the animators something to do during some downtime at Warner. The music is very incongruous, like a rejected 80s sitcom theme tune, which doesn't sit well with the mood or the Gotham backdrop.Had this been made in widescreen, featured proper opening and closing credits, and been released as a short movie in cinemas then it might have got a better rating. As it is, it's a curiosity.

Millionaire Bruce Wayne is at a party and is having a quiet moment to himself at the window when lots of young women flock to him and try and get him to dance with them. He slips away downstairs but finds his safe being emptied by none other than Catwoman! She escapes but he quickly gets into character and Batman is in pursuit.This DVD extra is a mixed bag but yet deserves credit for what it tries to do even if it doesn't really work. Visually the film is good and indeed it is this style that attracted me to watch what I originally dismissed as a children's cartoon. The animated series and films may not have the dark material I still want but at least they are not the day-glo hell that Joel Schumacher was handsomely paid to create (or "spew-forth" to use the correct terminology). In this regard the film flows really well and is quite exciting; the audio however is another matter.The score is a light jazz affair that at different points of the film - interested me, annoyed me, delighted me. It interested me because it was different, because it seemed a brave and experimental step to score Batman using anything other than Gothic orchestration. It annoyed me though because at times it jarred badly with the images on the screen. This combined with the lack of sound effects made it feel a bit like some kid's poor job of putting a score on the top of an existing video. However it worked at the start and the end so I'm wondering why they didn't try to do something to make it work better during the action in the middle section.Visually it is impressive and I did enjoy the style and the flow, but it is broken up by the lack of effects and the soundtrack. A nice try that deserves credit for using jazz instead of Gothic music but it does feel like a track has been plonked down onto the film rather than the film has been scored.
