With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who's ever talked to their pet and fans of a well-timed joke, this one's for you. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 7 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Lazy Dodsworth the Cat wants to catch a woodpecker for his breakfast. The woodpecker has built its home inside the upper trunk of a very tall tree, and Dodsworth puts on a professor's cap, pretending to be a passive teacher of bird-catching and thereby deceive an eager-to-learn kitten into doing the perilous ascending of the tree to try to catch the woodpecker.
