this short was in part four of the short cinema journal a film i rented from netflix but which appears to have originally been a monthly film series for people who like mediocre modern short films and love to have the dvd chock full of commercials. i have so far tried two of the journal dvds and felt enraged at the horrible way that a viewer needs to navigate the disk in order to see the films. talk about an over produced and overly complicated way of doing this. while i have and will continue to see as many shorts as i can and i really doubt if i will bother with the journals because of these factors. now it could be that because i disliked the disk so much that i was not favorably disposed towards this portuguese animated short. this is definitely possible. however and even if this is the case and i feel that the other reviews were way too positive about this simple little film. some of the artwork was indeed nice i liked how the simple black and white drawings suddenly became 3 d environments as the camera went from a dull distant shot and dove into the city below. this was lovely and took some work. but as for the story about a cat who wants to go to the moon and it just did nothing for me. important update i saw this film again on a dvd entitled cartoon noir on 5/09. it was a pretty unappealing collection of art films. however and this time i saw the story of the cat and the moon with an entirely different audio track and boy did it make a difference. instead of portuguese with subtitles and it had a french accented narrator who spoke english in a film noir style. while i usually hate dubbing and this time it really made the film. the narration of the portuguese version leaves a lot to be desired if you do not know the language or understand the subtleties. unless you speak the language and try looking for the other version (provided you understand english).
