About the Cat...

About This Movie

So, 'About the Cat...' is quite the oddity. It’s a 1987 TV movie that takes a musical spin on the classic 'Puss in Boots' tale. The atmosphere has this charmingly quirky vibe, almost like a stage production that just happened to be filmed. The pacing is all over the place, but in a way that keeps you engaged—there are moments of whimsy that really shine through. The practical effects are, well, a mix of charming and dated, but they add to the film’s unique character. The performances can be hit or miss, but the passion is clear, especially in the musical numbers. It’s definitely a distinct piece of filmmaking that doesn’t quite fit into the usual molds.
