Cats Don't Dance
It's the rag to riches story of Danny, a talented cat whose lifelong goal of movie stardom is sidetracked when he discovers only humans get the good roles in Hollywood. On the big screen, animals can bark, meow or moo but cats don't dance. With the help of his newfound friends: the hilarious hippo, Tillie, the lovely, but cynical, lady cat, Sawyer, and the adorable Penguin, Pudge; Danny vows to break through the "species barrier" and prove that dreams can come true.

A New Classic That Feels Like an Old Classic - MovieMantos
This film is an homage to classic musicals and animated features. It succeeds wonderfully in both. Made with a close association with (and dedicated to) Gene Kelly shortly before his passing, it captures the feeling of one of his better films. This film is fun, funny, great song and dance numbers that actually work with the film. Please, see it, I did it randomly and now it's one of my favorites. Hopefully it will be yours too.Very funny animated musical. - estefan
Fun homage to classic Hollywood musicals, while also being a subtle commentary on how minority actors were given extremely small parts during the 1930's. The animation is very good, the characters are likable and Randy Newman's songs are great. The screenplay is very funny and it's an all-around good-hearted picture that I'm disappointed is so short as I want to see it continue on further. Really fun, under-appreciated flick.Meow, Meow, Meow, Meooowooo! - FoxKitsune
Cats Don't Dance is all about a cat named Danny and his dream of stardom and fame in Hollywood! A superb musical animation sensation for anyone one loves music, beautiful animation, morals or even walking, talking, dancing, singing animals! In a world where animals playing big roles in theater and movies are descriminated against and like the animals they really are they are treated like animals and only given animal acting scenes. Sad but true like a giant gorila for King Kong parts! But Danny the cat from Kokomo would change all that with his determination and dreams to be a big star. With loads of dancing musical numbers this movie will surely make you want to dream again! So rent this movie and bring back your dreams! Five out of Five stars here and nothing less!
