Review of Cats Don't Dance (1997) by Ashley H — 28 Jan 2008
[i]Cats Don't Dance[/i] is a delightful animated feature in the style of a 1930's musical comedy. The main character, Danny (voiced by Scott Bakula), is a high-spirited cat from Kokomo, Indiana who goes to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a movie star.
But there he finds limited roles available for animals. The story is a sly message about discrimination. The imagery is bright and music is catchy. The villainess is a wonderful Darla Dimple, a Shirley Temple parody of a child star with a dark side.
Together with her monstrous manservant Max, they provide many laughs. Other funny animals include Tilly the Hippo (voiced by Kathy Najimy) and T.W. the Turtle (voiced by Don Knotts). So [i]Cats Don't Dance[/i] is an enjoyable movie for everyone!
