“I was expecting more from this animation. Very Saturday morning appropriate grade school dialogue, humor u0026amp; script. Basic premise is that townsfolk donu0026#39;t like cats, dogs, rabbits u0026amp; fish, and as to why no real explanation. Main plot is the townu0026#39;s sheriffs main activity is chasing them down u0026amp; locking them up. Second plot element was dog sent into space, but apparently thereu0026#39;s a malfunction so heu0026#39;s frozen (dumb; bad science). Next he mysteriously arrives in said town in his capsule 50 years later. Third plot element is our cat acts like a cat toward everyone (dog included), but becomes a better cat later on. Final made-up science plot is capsule contains powerful element (hyper-lithium) that when made into a radiation beam changes things. Animation was slightly better than average with 3-D figures w/natural movement, but downside is the figures lacked detail – very plastic toy like.”
