synopsis

A combination feline detective story, Gothic mystery and occult horror, Felidae follows green-eyed protagonist Francis and his grizzled, one-eyed companion Blaubart as they unravel the killings stretching back decades, involving death cults, genetic experimentation and a mysterious martyr religion. One of the most sought-after titles among world animation fans and never before officially released in the U.S., Felidae marries the dark, adult themes and nightmarish imagery of Watership Down with the family-friendly animation style of Don Bluth. Be forewarned, though: this is not a kids’ animated movie – Felidae features R- rated language and cat-themed slang (humans are dissed as merely “can openers”), bloody dissection and more.
