In the 21st century, the Duchess would definitely become the queen of Instagram: this snow-white purr is simply the embodiment of grace, tenderness and cat delight. In addition, the Duchess is always surrounded by her kittens: Berlioz, Toulouse and Marie. All four furry cats live in the house of Madame Bonfamili, an elderly lonely woman who loves her cats. Madame has neither a husband nor children, and the old woman wants to bequeath all her huge fortune to the mustaches and her butler Edgar. Well, who is man's best friend after that? But Edgar isn’t exactly evil, but the butler doesn’t want to stand in line for wealth behind four-legged angels who can’t even write a check. Therefore, he makes a not very logical decision to eliminate the mustachioed heirs. So spoiled cats, accustomed to lapping up fresh cream and sleeping on feather beds, find themselves on a dirty road far from the city. In such conditions, playing the piano and the ability to draw do not give aristocrats any survival bonuses, and without help, purebred purrs will not return to the house of their beloved mistress. It's good that in the movies you can always meet a charming stranger on the road to Paris. For example, Thomas O'Malley, a red-haired tramp, whom the Duchess's languid and sad eyes do not leave indifferent. Thomas undertakes to accompany the unhappy family home, and the dangerous journey turns into a romantic walk through the cozy French streets.

Cartoon The Incredible Adventures of a Cat

Many, many, many years ago, a long time ago... Life begins in the ocean. A simple creature, vaguely reminiscent of a cat in outline, encounters three smaller organisms similar to cockroaches. They immediately begin to bully him. Evolution continues, creatures change their forms. Finally, three cockroaches (Joey, DeeDee, Marky) jump out of the ocean onto land, followed by a cat (Oggy). The whole company is hiding in the jungle.

Two hundred million years ago. Stone Age. An ancient settlement. The morning begins. A pterodactyl crows on a palm tree. The whole tribe wakes up and begins to go about their daily activities. Oggy serves the shaman; he calls his relatives to his cave by beating the drum and playing the pipe. A shaman performs a ritual dance, holding a lamp with a blazing fire in his hands. He performs the trick by spitting out a huge tongue of flame. Everyone looks at him in awe. Oggy is very afraid of fire. He is hiding in a cave. The shaman also returns to the dwelling. He discovers that the refrigerator is out of food, so he goes to restock. The shaman orders Oggy to watch the fire. Auggie is scared. He remembers an episode that happened when he was little. During the thunderstorm, his entire tribe trembled with fear and cold. A dried tree was struck by lightning and burned. One burning branch fell to the side. Auggie crawled towards her, burned his paw, and began to cry. And the shaman picked up the flaming torch and began to command the fire. Now Oggy is cleaning the cave. While he goes to the toilet, the lamp with fire is stolen by harmful cockroaches. Oggy chases them with a fly swatter. He manages to grab the lamp. But at this moment Joey sneezes and pours snot on the fire. The shaman returns, he is furious. In front of the entire tribe, he accuses Auggie of a terrible crime. As punishment, he must go to an active volcano and get fire again. The shaman calls Jack to accompany Oggy, who knows how to deftly handle a club. Two cats hit the road. They are followed by cockroaches. Along the way, Jack protects Auggie from the dangers that await him. Oggy decides to smell the flower, but it turns out to be a predatory plant that is ready to eat the cat. Jack hits the flower with his club, Oggy is saved. They move on. Cockroaches approach the flower, the plant opens its toothy mouth, but the flower is devoured by the ever-hungry DeeDee. Oggy bathes in the river. Jack kills a fish with a club and eats it. Cockroaches dive into the river. Joey sets a school of piranhas on Oggy. Oggy, hung with predatory fish clinging to his body, jumps out of the water screaming and rushes along the shore. He manages to get rid of the piranhas using Jack's club. The cats approach the foot of the volcano. Jack makes a rope from a vine. Oggy is about to be attacked by a giant spider, but falls dead from the smell of socks, which Oggy takes off from his tired paws. Cats climb up to the mouth of the volcano, and cockroaches rush after them. Jack lowers Oggy into the crater of the volcano on a rope. He lights a torch from hot lava. Jack pulls Auggie up. They are attacked by cockroaches, and a fight begins for the torch. Oggy chews the rope, he and the cockroaches fall into the mouth, Jack climbs out to the edge of the abyss, and the torch remains with him. In the crater of the volcano, Oggy discovers that he is in the Lost World. This is an incredibly beautiful valley. Auggie faints. A pack of dogs finds him. Cockroaches are hiding in the bushes. The dogs sniff Auggie, who comes to his senses and runs away. The dogs catch him, tie him up and carry him to their leader, the bulldog Bob. Bob intends to eat the cat. But suddenly a brave cat (Olivia) jumps out of the jungle. She chases the dogs away. Auggie faints again. He comes to his senses in Olivia's cozy home. She takes care of him, treats his burnt paws, spoon-feeds him soup. Auggie is blissful. Olivia goes on errands. Her home is set up inside a giant flower that grows in a forest clearing. Cockroaches infiltrate Olivia's house. Oggy drives them away with a fly swatter. Olivia returns. Auggie is in love with his savior. They go for a walk. Olivia bathes in the waterfall, and Auggie joins her. To dry off after swimming, Olivia is going to make a fire, she uses two stones to create a spark. Oggy is still afraid of fire, but he sits near the fire to warm himself. Lovers admire the sunset while sitting on the edge of a cliff. Oggy cooked skewers of pieces of fruit and bugs over the fire. Meanwhile, Jack makes a rope ladder from vines. He goes down into the volcano crater behind Oggy. Bob and his pack are looking for Oggy, they dream of eating him. Auggie discovers that Jack has descended into the Lost World. Cats hug. Auggie introduces Jack and Olivia. In her house, Jack watches the mistress making fire for the hearth. She teaches Jack the technology of extracting a spark using two stones, but he fails to do it. Auggie proposes to Olivia, he wants her to come with him to his world. Olivia doesn't want to leave her home. At night the cockroaches come to Bob. Joey gives the bulldog the location of the house where Auggie is hiding. A bulldog, his pack and cockroaches perform a war dance. In the morning, Auggie wakes up and leaves the house to relieve himself. Lianas entangle him. Bob's pack gets into the house, the dogs take Olivia and Jack captive. Cockroaches rampage through your home and start a fire. Olivia's house burns to the ground. Joey took possession of the burning torch. The cockroaches run away with joyful screams. Freed from the vine, Oggy returns to the house, only to find ashes. He sobs, thinking that Jack and Olivia are dead, but then he hears their screams. Following the dog's tracks, Auggie sets off to save his friends. He gets to the dogs' den. Bob is dozing. Olivia is on a leash, Jack is in a cage, he is being fattened for slaughter. Olivia notices Oggy, who has disguised himself as a mushroom. She persuades him to bring fire to scare away the dogs. Auggie is afraid. Olivia manages to persuade him; if he does this, he will become a hero in her eyes. Oggy strikes a spark, lights a fire, makes a torch. He sets fire to the dog's den. The dogs jump out of the ring of fire in fear. Auggie frees Olivia and Jack and they flee. The dogs are chasing them. Near the stairs, Auggie tells Olivia that her house has burned down, so the cat agrees to follow her lover. Jack drives away the dogs with a club and also climbs up. Bob climbs behind him. Having reached the edge of the crater, the cats throw the ladder with the bulldog chasing them down. The torch they had left burning before traveling to the Lost World had already gone out. But Oggy took two stones with him, he knows how to make fire himself. Auggie and Jack lead Olivia to the settlement where their relatives live. The government there has changed. Now everything is run by the cockroaches who brought the fire. They lie on deck chairs, the shaman plays the pipe for them, and other members of the tribe fan them with fans. Auggie, Jack and Olivia appear. Joule climbs onto the lamp, smoke gets into his nose, he sneezes, the fire goes out. The shaman takes the tribal ruler's headdress back to himself and orders him to seize the cockroaches. The harmful insects run away, and the whole crowd rushes after them. Oggy demonstrates his ability to make fire, the shaman is pleased. Soon he retires. Olivia and Auggie set up a family nest in the shaman's cave. Jack remains here as a cook. A time of prosperity is coming for the entire tribe.

Several centuries later. Middle Ages. Subjects of King Oggy I gathered in the square in front of the castle in honor of the opening of the monument to their ruler. The monument represents the majestic figure of the king in knightly armor and with a sword in his hands, he tramples a defeated cockroach with his foot. A solemn ceremony takes place: Oggy I presents the legendary weapon to his heir, Oggy Jr. But the sword turns out to be too heavy for the young cat, Oggy falls from the balcony, the sword falls into pieces. The people laugh. Only faithful Jack picks up Auggie and shakes off the dust. Auggie Jr. loves to embroider. He does this while Jack tries to mend the broken sword. The king arrives. He is dissatisfied that his son does not fight dragons, does not ride a horse, and does not besiege enemy castles. Auggie makes his father understand that such activities are not for him at all. The king takes his son to the window and shows him his possessions. He says that if Auggie marries, he will ascend to the throne. He is not against such a prospect. The king orders Jack to find a suitable bride for his son. Jack announces that the heir wants to get married in the town square. A huge line of unmarried girls forms at the royal castle. The party continues until late at night, but none of the ladies like Auggie. The queen mother is crying, she really wanted a grandson. Auggie plays music while sitting on the windowsill. The king persuades Jack to take Auggie hunting. In the forest, Oggy catches butterflies with a net; he does not want to kill the animals. Jack aims his crossbow first at the wild boar, then at the hare, then at the bird. But every time he is prevented from making a shot by some shadow flashing by. He gets a kick in the ass, the fired arrow ricochets off the trees and hits the hunter himself. Someone is also trying to free the butterfly that is sitting in Oggy’s net. Jack jumps into the bushes to neutralize the intruder. A fight ensues. Jack caught the cat (Olivia) by the leg. She whistles to call all the forest inhabitants who rush to her aid. They throw acorns at Jack, who flees. Auggie offers his hand to a beautiful stranger and he falls in love with her at first sight. Oggy releases a butterfly. Olivia approves. She invites Auggie to her cozy house, located on the edge of the forest. Oggy gallantly carries Olivia across the puddle blocking the road. Jack watches through the window as Olivia makes a jug on a potter's wheel. Olivia notices the spy; she whistles to call the boar, who drives Jack away from the house. As a farewell, Olivia gives Auggie a handkerchief and kisses him. Joyful Auggie runs to the palace and tells his parents that he has found a bride. Joey sees this scene and intends to break Auggie's heart. The cockroaches steal Olivia's handkerchief. They give it to Bob the bulldog to sniff and force him to pick up the trail. Bob delivers cockroaches to Olivia's house. There all the animals sing a song for the mistress. Olivia dances with a mop in her hands. She lets cockroaches into the house and allows them to join the choir. The insidious insects throw a bag over Olivia and want to kidnap her. The hare calls the boar for help. He puts the cockroaches out the door, but is hit in the head with Bob's tree trunk. The captive is brought to an impregnable castle (it belonged to Joey's ancestor) and is kept captive there. Joey sends Auggie a message with Olivia's hair by tying the letter to the raven's leg. Auggie is terrified. He runs to the stables to Jack and orders him to saddle the horses immediately. The cats are jumping to save Olivia - Jack in the saddle, Oggy under the belly of the horse. Olivia's house is completely destroyed, the owner has disappeared. Auggie sheds a tear over the broken pieces of the jug in two hearts. In a puddle of frozen clay, Jack discovers the prints of the kidnappers' bodies. Oggy is sad that his sword is broken and he only has a fly swatter. Jack assures that Auggie must save Olivia with the help of the weapon he has, then in her eyes he will become a real hero. Oggy feeds the falcon some cookies that he baked himself. A sharp-eyed bird discovers the castle where Olivia is imprisoned. She tries to escape, but to no avail. Falcon draws a map that can be used to get to the cockroach castle. Jack and Auggie hit the road. The cats use a catapult to get through a barbed wire fence. Bob blocks their way. He defeats Jack in the fight. Auggie takes out a mandolin and starts playing. Bob dances happily. Auggie gives the instrument to the bulldog, who plays music with pleasure. The cats enter the castle and run up the spiral staircase into the tower. Cockroaches throw cast iron cannonballs and a heavy cabinet towards them. Oggy manages to dodge, Jack flies head over heels. Auggie bursts into Olivia's room. They spin around in each other's arms. Jack appears. The cockroaches lock the whole trio in the tower and nail the doors. Jack takes out a hoop with an embroidered portrait of Olivia and takes a needle from there. He manages to make a long rope from the curtains, along which they get out of the tower. Cockroaches undermine a bridge over a ditch filled with hot lava. Olivia whistles. Birds fly in, pick up all the cats and carry them across the ditch. Oggy threatens the cockroaches with a fly swatter, and they run away in horror. They crash into Bob's butt as he plays a rock song on his mandolin. The impact causes the bulldog to drop the tool and it breaks. Bob is furious, he wants to eat the cockroaches, but Olivia does not allow him to do this. Harmful insects are released. The solemn ceremony of Oggy II's ascension to the throne is interrupted by the appearance of Joey. He snatches the sword from the old king, which he was going to give to his son. Auggie I falls, his son comes to his father's aid. Oggy Jr. gets into a fight with a cockroach. Joey wields a sword glued together from pieces, and Oggy wields a fly swatter. The fierce duel ends in Oggy's victory. But the sword fell apart again. The cockroaches are caged and guarded by Bob. During Oggy II's coronation, a gold-plated, jeweled flyswatter is presented as a symbol of royal power. The people welcome the new king. Near the palace there is a monument glorifying his heroic victory over cockroaches.

London is preparing to celebrate the new year 1900. From Olivia's watch shop, two cockroaches - DeeDee and Marky - steal a valuable key. The bandits bring it to their sinister leader, Joey. The famous detective Jack lives on Baker Street with his assistant Dr. Auggie. Joe reads the newspaper, which contains an article that Inspector Bob managed to place a terrible 20th century bomb in the Tower. Joe is holding his favorite toy - a yo-yo. Dr. Auggie is frying eggs in the kitchen. He discovers that if you sprinkle ground pepper on the countertop and then blow it off, the fingerprints of the person who touched the area remain. This discovery makes Auggie excited, he continues to experiment with pepper, forgetting about the frying pan on the fire. Olivia arrives. Auggie falls in love with her at first sight. Olivia says that the key to Big Ben, where the counter of the seconds remaining until the beginning of the new century is installed, was stolen from her. A detective and his assistant examine the crime scene. Oggy uses pepper to detect traces of intruders. Inspector Bob and a group of police officers appear at the store. Bob and Joe are longtime rivals and can't stand each other. Scotland Yard also begins an investigation into the theft of the key. With the help of pepper, Oggy manages to see the prints on the floor and takes pictures of them. The tracks lead into the sewer grate. There, the leader of a gang of cockroaches hatches a new plan, he wants to steal a bomb. Joey hires another bandit with five pairs of legs for this, and pays generously for it. On Baker Street, Oggy determines from the encyclopedia that the tracks belong to cockroaches. Jack has old scores to settle with them. He is haunted by memories of how he fell into the abyss at the waterfall during a fight with his worst enemy Joey. A stone with a note attached to it flies into the apartment window. If they are interested in cockroaches, then they should go to the diner that is marked on the map. Jack and Auggie go there. A mysterious multi-legged stranger is waiting for them at the table. He tells where you can find a gang of cockroaches, and at this time, with a pair of paws that are under the table, he pulls a yo-yo out of Jack’s pocket and puts the key there. Jack falls into a trap set for him by cockroaches inside Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. But Inspector Bob, who is present, handcuffs the criminals. They are put in the Tower. This was the insidious plan of the bandits. They enter the room where the bomb is located and steal it. A toy belonging to Jack is planted at the crime scene. The bomb is taken away by the ten-legged man, the cockroaches return to the cell to provide an alibi for themselves. On Baker Street, Jack plays the violin. Auggie doesn't like these sounds, he plugs his ears with earplugs. Bob arrives, accuses Jack of stealing the bomb, and shows him the toy he found. He does not admit his guilt, reaches into his pocket for the yo-yo and discovers the key to Big Ben there. Jack is immediately grabbed by the police, dragged into their van, and thrown into jail. Olivia comes up. Bob hands her the key. The cockroaches are released from prison and Jack is placed there. Olivia goes up to the apartment and takes the earplugs out of Auggie's ears, who didn't notice anything happening around him. Auggie is crying. The newspapers published articles saying that Jack is behind bars and the cockroaches are free. She notices in one of Oggy's photos a multi-legged bandit who is in cahoots with cockroaches. Olivia brings Auggie into her store and puts on his flight suit. They board a cunning aircraft made by Olivia and set off to rescue Jack. They cut off the roof of the tower where Jack's cell is located, throw him a rope ladder, and he hangs on it. The aircraft moves away, but Bob raises the alarm and a chase is organized for the fugitives. The police fire at the aircraft and it is damaged. Olivia tries to detain her pursuers using various technical devices of her own design. Police cars fall off a bridge into the Thames. Olivia's aircraft crashes outside the city, where sheep are grazing. The oldest ram solves crossword puzzles. Olivia snatches the newspaper from him. It is reported there that the Queen of England will be present at the solemn ceremony of welcoming the 20th century near Big Ben. Oggy understands: the cockroaches will plant a bomb there, which will explode exactly at midnight, when the counter resets to zero. Olivia takes out the key. The ram takes a bite from it. It turns out that this is a copy of the real key, which the cockroaches made from chocolate. The whole company rushes to London. Ten minutes to midnight the friends get inside Big Ben. They rush to defuse the bomb. They are trying to be thwarted by evil cockroaches, who hide away on the airship a few seconds before the expected explosion. The cats still manage to prevent disaster. But after the advent of the new century, the dial of Big Ben falls out and falls on the queen's head. She continues to wave her hand to her subjects. But Bob and his subordinates are again chasing Jack, Auggie and Olivia.

A powerful stream of fire bursts out of the toilet, carrying the cockroaches into outer space. Jack, from his starship, redirects this flow back to Bob's ship.

One of The New York Times' critics called this French cartoon "a children's animated version of the thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock or Roman Polanski." And the plot is really dark. The cat Dino lives with the girl Zoe, who has not spoken a word since her father's death. Dad was killed by gangsters, and Zoe's mother, who works for the police, turned into an obsessed avenger. The rumbling anti-stress in this family is definitely worth the wool flying around the apartment. Only Dino, although an excellent friend for his little unfortunate mistress, still does not belong to her and at night he walks along the rooftops with the thief Niko. What is allowed to a cat is not allowed to little girls, and Zoe clearly has no place in the night world of bandits, but childhood curiosity is difficult to control, and one day the girl follows her pet to the roof and learns that the criminals have come up with a plan against her mother. Having rightly decided that the adults in her family, according to statistics, die from gangster bullets more often, the girl decides to save her mother on her own, and Dino and Niko will have to play “Turnip” and get both mother and daughter out of trouble.

Garfield from comics and cartoons

Garfield is one of the most popular characters in children's comics. It was invented in 1978 by American artist Jim Davis. The cartoon character received the name Garfield in honor of his creator's grandfather. He also inherited from him a mischievous appearance and character traits such as stinginess and caution.

The hero himself was also not chosen by chance. Davis grew up surrounded by a lot of cats. As he grew up, he realized that comics had not yet been published about these animals and decided to create his own character.

The artist began to invent stories about the red cat, trying to make him as relaxed and interesting as possible. Thanks to the imagination of his creator, fat Garfield almost immediately acquired features that distinguish him from other characters.

The comic was published in 41 copies, but after 3 months the newspaper refused to publish it. Davis decided that stories about his character would never appear in print again. But the editors received indignant calls and letters, so they decided to return Garfield the cat. In 1983, his story spread all over the planet. And in 2002, Garfield was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most frequently published comic book.

The first cartoon featuring the character from children's animation magazines appeared in 1982. 9 years after the first publication of the comic, enterprising directors began filming an animated series. As a result, they filmed 7 seasons dedicated to the adventures of the brazen red cat and his friends.

Also, 2 full-length films were created with the participation of live actors and an animated character. The first one was released in 2004 and collected about 200 million dollars. The second appeared 2 years later and grossed $141 million. Despite significant box office success, the film received mixed reviews from critics and was rated 6 out of 10.

For 13 years, Garfield the cat spoke in the voice of Lorenzo Music. In 2004, the character was voiced by Hollywood actor Bill Murray. It was in his voice that Garfield spoke from the modern film and animated series. The voice acting for the animated film was done by Frank Welker.

Interesting! During Garfield's existence, his appearance has undergone some changes. Initially, he was a short-legged, round-faced, fat cat with small eyes. Now Garfield has become more cartoonish and has acquired huge, expressive eyes. But at the same time he retained his red fur, miniature ears and long tail.

For kittens to perform their cuteness magic, all they need is a bag or an old box, but the kitten from this cartoon has a whole magician’s house in his arsenal. Funny toys, equipment for illusions, hats - all this lost Thunder, who got to the magician by accident, would have mastered it easily. But the illusionist’s other animals looked suspiciously at the new tenant. Who is interested in rabbits and mice when there is a fluffy big-eyed and purring creature nearby? The rodents' dissatisfaction is completely justified, and simply being next to a predator that seems to be able to eat you is an unpleasant circumstance. The rabbit and the mouse, in the tradition of the Mouse Hunt, try to get Thunder out of the house, but in the end only the old magician survives. The owner is taken to the hospital, and the animals of the magical mansion encounter a fairy-tale idiot - the magician's nephew. The guy's moral compass is very bad - years of working as a realtor are taking their toll, so taking advantage of the property of a temporarily immobilized uncle seems like a cool idea to the antagonist. But Grom and the other inhabitants of the house are ready to defend their home from real estate raids, and the cat version of “Home Alone” begins on the screen.

A full-length anime produced by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. This time, the great master took on the story of the girl Haru, who ended up in the kingdom of cats. It was not by chance that she ended up like Chihiro with ghosts - Haru went to the cats so that they would stop showering her with gifts. One day, a girl saved a cat prince from under the wheels of a truck, and now the cat office returns Haru’s debt for the heir’s life (by the way, in the original the title sounds more like “The Cat Returns the Debt,” and the Russian localization is just a typical Russian localization). Just being nice for cats is not the same as being nice for people. Well, someone, of course, might enjoy finding a gift box of mice or a garden full of catnip in a school locker. But for Haru, like for many people, gifts from cats were more of a problem. And after the aperitifs and treats, the cat office promised the girl the main reward - turning into a cat and getting married to the cat prince. Haru definitely doesn’t need such gifts, and the brave schoolgirl herself goes to the cat world to find the cat Baron, who should help her.

The first Disney film to be drawn using 2D computer animation. There are much more dogs and people here than cats, but the main character is a little purr named Oliver. In New York, good hands ended with this kitten, and the only way the baby was saved from the feeling of loneliness was by killing everything with hunger. The kitten tries to steal the fragrant sausages, but nothing works, and then the first dog appears in the plot - Dodger. An experienced tramp, living with a petty thief and a whole flock of equally homeless four-legged animals. Dodger and Oliver lighten the meat counter by a couple of kilograms, but the dog does not intend to share the spoils. The cunning, sneaky and slobbering mongrel runs away with the stolen sausages to his pack, but Oliver follows the dog's trail and soon charms the homeless owner and all his pets. But the homeless family has no time for a happily ever after: the owner owes money to a very dangerous moneylender, and the four-legged animals must help the man pay on time.

The black kitten Rudolf lived in a cozy house with his beloved girl-hostess, but one day, simply out of curiosity, he ran out the gate and got lost. I got so lost that I accidentally drove off to another city. Cars, people hurrying somewhere, dogs - the world is not very kind to lost kittens. But the red-tailed tramp with a million names turned out to be more sensitive. So Rudolph got a mentor who decided to help the baby return home.

And again about the runaway kitten. Fluffy is fulfilling his nickname as best he can: his sides are rounded, his movements are minimal, his dream is to lie forever in his owners’ house and disturb the peace of his furry paws as little as possible. The only thing that prevents Pukhlyash from turning into the happiest lump of fat is his son Shutrik. Dad and baby are united only by their telling names: Shustrik cannot stand even a couple of seconds without moving and most of all wants to escape from home to the land of pink dreams. The way there lies through dirty and cruel streets, but can dirt, cold and hunger stop the little dreamer? Nimble runs away, and Fluffy also has to go outside in search of the restless kitten.
