Features: DVD
Enjoy the rags-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. Danny vows to break through the "species barrier" and prove that dreams really can come true.
"...a cute animated musical..." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Editor's Note
A star-struck kitty from Kokomo finally decides to do something about his dreams of silver screen superstardom, so he heads west to Hollywood. But discrimination awaits, as it turns out that the studio moguls don't see much use in a feline leading man. Undaunted, our furry hero joins forces with other admirable animal actors to take the world by storm. A nostalgic kids' version of the classic MGM backstage musicals, featuring the voices of Scott Bakula, Jasmine Guy, Kathy Najimy, and more.

"...It works well....The songs by Randy Newman are catchy, the look is bright, the spirits are high and fans of Hollywood's golden age might find it engaging..." 03/26/1997 p.40San Francisco Chronicle 7 of 10
Hankering for an old-fashioned movie musical? Surprisingly, the new animated feature Cats Don't Dance is a spirited example in catchy 1930s style with a curious twist--it's obviously aimed at kids but may score biggest with adults nostalgic for Hollywood's golden age. - Peter Stack
