cats and dogs is a fun hilarious movie! It's about this pup raised in a barn and is adopted to a new family though, he finds he's supposed to live with a mann who is trying to find a cure to laergies and his evil cat mister. Tinkles and his team is trying to take over the world so humns will obey their every will etc.

The pup joins this team of dogs who are tryimg to save the world from the cats etc. yeah you get the point XD

anyways I read some reviews who say this is unfair to cats etc. Obviousely, these people have no sense of humor! I love both cats and dogs and this movie didn't affect that. So get a grip people!

Anyways, thought I'd get that point out.

I reccomend that if your a cat lover hopefully you will have a sense a humar and rember ... It'S JUST A MOVIE!!!

A better title for this movie would have been "Cats Vs. Dogs," but I think the average moviewatcher in the producers' target audience would not have understood the meaning of "versus." Cats and Dogs is about the secret plans of cats to subjugate humans into their slaves, as they used to be in ancient Egypt. (Hence the explanation for Egyptians worshipping cats). The leader of this plan is the white Persian cat, Mr. Tinkles. Mr. Tinkles lives in a mansion with his comatose, elderly owner, and a portly maid who is obsessed with dressing the poor kitty in humiliating outfits. Sheesh, no wonder cats want to rule humans!

On the side of protecting humans are the dogs. Inquisitive beagle puppy Lou (voiced by Tobey Maguire) stumbles into the secret headquarters of the dogs. Lou becomes an agent. His reluctant mentor is Butch (voiced by Alec Baldwin). Lou falls in love with the family he is placed with, despite orders to not get attached and focus on the mission.

One of the funniest scenes is when Mr. Tinkles and his henchmen are trying to drive a limo with his comatose owner in the driver's seat. The ninja cats beating up Lou are pretty great, too. The drawings of his plan are also hysterical - especially the dirigible. Otherwise, the film was a little disappointing because of the treatment of dogs as perfect creatures.

This movie is hilarious, and fit for the family. Both my wife and I are leary of most movies, but this one was very safe, and very funny.
Most of the special effects were realistic enough, though some were a little cartoonish.
If you want to see one of the most influential, award winning, thought provoking movies of all time, this is NOT that movie. But if you want to get away from reality for an hour and a half, have a good time, and feel comfortable with your children watching it with you, this should be high on your list.

Cats and dogs are, without a doubt, the two most popular pets in the world. Who can resist those cats when they purr while rubbing up against your face? And what about man's best friend, when they look at you with those cute, puppy eyes?

Of course, that purring and those puppy eyes are all just an act, to hide from us humans the fact that there is a war going on between cats and dogs. The cats want to take over the world, once again forcing humans to submit to their will, while dogs are determined to protect humanity from the evil cats.

That, in a nutshell, is the plot of "Cats & Dogs," a sometimes funny, but flawed, look at a battle going on right underneath our clueless noses.

Overall, this movie is quite funny and enjoyable to watch. There are several truly hilarious moments (the entire ninja cats sequence is the best) and the voice-overs are great. But the special effects, especially in the beginning of the movie, leave a lot to be desired. There are several spots throughout the movie when you are jarred out of the fantasy of the movie because what you are seeing looks so fake.

The DVD version does come with some interesting extras, some of which are different depending on whether you select the dog or cat choice in the beginning.

This is probably a movie you will want to rent first before you buy. Although most people will enjoy it, not too many will be interested in watching it again and again.

Sure ,this film does beat up on cats to some degree, but it does work as a fun film. No doubt a film with Cats as the winner will surface at some stage :-)... maybe, but who cares if it does not.
The way the cat outsmarts the first doggie agent is pretty cool.
Providing a gag that has been running through many commercials and countless set pieces in various videos.
This film reminds me a lot of the radio version of HITCHHIKERS GUIDE where the mice have a secret agenda( or, more accurately, Agendum, since it is a single purpose ).
Anyways, loads of fun, plenty of goofy fun gags.
