Film Detail

'Cats & Dogs - The Revenge Of Kitty Galore' is an adventure comedy about a group of cats and dogs who unite to fight an evil cat intent on world domination.  The film contains mild slapstick violence, scary scenes, language and toilet humour.

There are scenes of slapstick violence throughout the film, with the cats and dogs battling it out through some comic action scenes.  These include a scene where a cat is 'tortured' by having water squirted at her, a scene in which a dog and a cat are dangled over a tank of water, and some animals falling from heights.  Throughout the film, the tone remains light and there is no blood or injury at all.  The film has a reassuring ending and we never worry that the animals will come to any harm.

The scary scenes include sight of an evil cat, who is revealed to be a robot with glowing red eyes.  However, the robot cat is quickly defeated and the heroes of the film are not shown to be scared of it at all.  Although the robot cat resembles the Terminator, this is a reference that children will not be familiar with and is more likely to be significant for adults.  A similar cinema reference involves an imprisoned cat who looks and talks like Hannibal Lecter.  However, no reference is made to murder or cannibalism and the reference is likely to go over children's heads. 

The mild language includes uses of 'butt' and an implied use of the word 'ass', with only the beginning heard. 

The toilet humour includes some references to dogs sniffing each other's backsides and a joke about a dog being unable to urinate on a bush if he is being watched. 

'U' stands for Universal, which means that we think the film is suitable for audiences aged four or older.

The film is also available in 3D and some younger children may find this a more intense experience
