Who payed the critics

Best movie of this year hands down!

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

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.
