“It’s tough to survive in this world.” In a film filled with magic and whimsy, this early line from kitten to kid stands out and foreshadows a unique undercurrent of poignant coming-of-age fare (“Where do I belong?”) that comes to an excellent resolve (“It doesn’t matter anymore”) in an overall bizarre and marvelous fantasy adventure plot that enchants (see the mesmerizing midnight cat walk) and charms (Baron’s a babe, obvs) and tickles your funny bone (see the kooky King practicing his swing).
