Cat City Collection: Cat City / Catcher: Cat City (Blu-ray)
This deluxe 2-disc edition features the original Hungarian animated sci-fi classic CAT CITY (1986) paired for the first time with its sequel CATCHER: CAT CITY 2 (2007) making its U.S. Blu-ray debut: CAT CITY (MACSKAFOGĂ), 1986, Hungary, 96 min. Unflappable mouse secret agent Nick Grabovsky (LĂĄszlĂł SinkĂł) goes up against the criminal cat gang run by sinister, metal-pawed Mr. Teufel (MiklĂłs Benedek), in director BĂ©la Ternovszky's surreal animated sci-fi treasure. Set in the year 80 AMM ("After Mickey Mouse") on Planet X where cats and rats have banded together to eliminate mice, the film features a show-stopping series of musical numbers including a bizarre chorus of Mexican vampire bats who inhabit an ancient Mayan temple. A cross between 1980s Don Bluth-style animation (THE SECRET OF NIMH) and the British TV series "Danger Mouse", CAT CITY has long been a beloved cult favorite in Eastern Europe. CATCHER: CAT CITY 2 (MACSKAFOGĂ 2 - A SĂTĂN MACSKĂJA) - 2007, Hungary, 90 min. It's 20 years after the epochal battle between cats, rats and mice in the beloved original CAT CITY. Planet X is now peacefully run by rodents, and former secret agent Nick Grabovsky has an organic spinach farm - until an African explorer discovers the last untamed tribe of cats in the jungle, who call up the ancient feline demon Moloch to help reclaim their place atop the food chain. Hungarian director BĂ©la Ternovszky's delightfully quirky sequel brings back familiar characters from the first film (yes, iron-pawed Mr. Teufel returns!) with the same mix of bizarre sight gags, political satire and "Danger Mouse"-style animated fantasy / sci-fi. And the Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla-like battle between Moloch and the giant Robot Dog is something to see.
