Cats Don't Dance

Thanks and a tip of the bunny ears to porsupah for a mention and discussion of Cats Don't Dance in a post. It had been ages since I watched this flick, and as I only had the VHS I bought it on DVD for 'five and change' from Amazon. Saw it tonight and realized how much of it I'd forgotten and just how wonderful it was. Danny is a sweetheart, and Sawyer just knocks me off my feet! Heh, I only cried a couple of times...

The DVD format was excellent- clear and bright, and outstandingly colorful! I let it run through the credits and sighed at the list of voices used. And the animators and support staff looked to be all on-shore and not farmed out to Asian studios (the names were pronounceable).

One surprise among the animators-

It was great to see this again!

Imagine! I had to verify that through a couple of hopefully credible sites to be certain (no Fake News! here) and yes, what a surprise to see her in the credits.

Yup. :) And IMDB confirms it, too. (In fact she's even worked as an animator on MTV's The Maxx. I'm almost surprised to not also see Æon Flux on the list — shame though, I watched that much more than I watched The Maxx or The Head, say.)

Lauren's had quite a diverse career judging from IMDB in any case, one that goes far beyond the Powerpuff Girls and MLP:FiM.

Looking closely at Sawyer during the film I could see she has a very different drawn style than Danny. Danny's lines always appeared crisp and clean (old school) whereas Sawyer had a lot of those broad strokes one sees in Powerpuffs and MLP, though not so bold. In any event, this was a fun rewatch!
