Country of Origin: Germany
"A combination feline detective story, Gothic mystery and occult horror, Felidae follows green-eyed protagonist Francis (voiced by Ulrich Tukur) and his grizzled, one-eyed companion Blaubart (voiced by Mario Adorf) as they unravel the killings stretching back decades, involving death cults, genetic experimentation and a mysterious martyr religion. One of the most sought-after titles among world animation fans and never before officially released in the U.S., Felidae marries the dark, adult themes and nightmarish imagery of Plague Dogs and Watership Down with the family-friendly animation style of Don Bluth circa The Secret of Nimh. Be forewarned, though: this is not a kids' animated movie - Felidae features R-rated language and cat-themed slang (humans are dissed as merely 'can openers'), bloody dissections and even simulated cat sex. 'Truly this activity was beyond The Aristocats', as the narrator purrs. Newly scanned and restored in 4K from the original camera negative and sound elements by Deaf Crocodile for this release, Felidae finally emerges as one of the great animated features made for adults from the past thirty years." –Deaf Crocodile
