Felidae

Felidae

As I was perusing YouTube, I started to stumble upon various animated features starring animals (you can thank looking for Watership Down and Plague Dogs for this discovery....) when I happened upon one titled Felidae. I started watching and was immediately hooked. I'm not sure if it was due to the animation or the detective show feel that seems to pervade the narration, but it has become one of my fast favorites.
Based on the novel by Akif Pirincci, Felidae follows the story of a tom cat named Francis who has moved to a new town thanks to his human, an aspiring writer. Upon entry to his new and run-down home, Francis meets Blue Beard, a scraggily, bitter, street worn old tom and through him is introduced to a strange under world, filled with violence, intrigue, and murder. Several murders in fact. Cats are disappearing or turning up dead and it's up to Francis to find out why.
One thing I find most shocking about Felidae however, is just how serious of a story it really is. There are many mature adult themes that are not usually shown in this kind of caricatured cartoon format, the only few others like this I could think of are mentioned above. Murder, sex, torture, even complex topics like genetic engineering and natural selection are all covered. Heck, one of the characters to appear is Mendel! (For those of you who don't know who Mendel is, READ A BOOK PEOPLE! DO A DARN GOOGLE SEARCH!) Overall though, Felidae is an excellent film which can be found on youTube for anyone interested.

Side note: Felidae is actually rather gory/bloody and the language is a little iffy. The trailer is above if anyone has slight interest. Also, Felidae is not a recent film since it came out in 1994 so it will most likely be hard to find off the internet.
