#Felidae #Disturbing #AniMat
all dogs go to heaven and secret of nimh: we are some of the most disturbing animated movies
Felidae: hold my catnip
Watership Down: Um Hello
Where the Dead Go to Die: Ha! Amateurs
Watership Down: Hold my carrots.
Plague Dogs: Hold my sheep.
The King of Pigs: Hold my pig
Padak: Hold my fish
all dogs go to heaven? how is that movie disturbing?
For the people who think animation is a kid's genre, watch Felidae and then tell us what you thought about it.
Amy Schumer, we're looking at your direction
@@sonicyuuki2292 you bet we are!
The book (Felidae is an adaptation of a book) is - in my opinion - even more explicit, with gore and sex. Definitely 18+.
Btw, I recommend it, it's worth to be read.
I’m confused about the word “genre” on your comment, do you think animation is a genre or are you saying the people who say animation is for kids also think it is a genre?
@@NicoEdgy The term medium would be more appropriate.
Also, fun fact about this movie: Felidae was based on an Novel of the same name, so that’s meant Felidae was one of the movies based on an book like Jurassic Park, How to Train your Dragons and many more!
Most mainstream animate movies are based on books.
There are a lot of movies (both animated and live action) based on books.
I need to read the book before watching this
@@jlev1028 the How To Train Your Dragin books were kid friendly, Jurassic Park novel was disturbing, and the novel Felidae is even more traumatizing than it's movie adaptation.
@@jlev1028 like Shrek
I hope AniMat reviews "The Plague Dogs" in the future, one of my personal favorite underrated animated features of all time.
Another one that would be cool is indeed "Steamboy" a truly underrated masterpiece straight from the creative genius that brought us "Akira."
I agree.
I think more kid's movies need to be like Felidae. Not the gory stuff, obviously, but rather, the breathtaking (2D) animation and deep themes. Felidae took RISKS and I applaud that. It had a story to tell and it told it. The plot is also unique, with it focusing on a common housecat to try and solve a string of murders. The animation is incredible and I like how it alternates between styles when it comes to Francis' dreams. It's visually engaging and the characters (for the most part) are easily identifiable. I only wish the mystery was a tad stronger since the murderer's identity is a little obvious and *SPOILER!* but the Cult of Claudandus is still active by the end of the film so it makes you wonder how much good Francis really did.
12:31-12:43
The moment you said that, I *knew* you were talking about the scene with Felicity. That still haunts me to this day.
Fun Fact: Claudandus's original German voice actor listened to Hitler's speech for inspiration on his voice acting delivery for the final confrontation.
"Walt Disney's swansong", eh? Well, I'm now very excited, because that's "The Jungle Book". That's one of my Top 10 favorite Disney Animated films. I'm definitely looking forward to that review. After this review of "Felidae", we could use some Bare Necessities.
Either that or Aristocats last movie approved by uncle Walt
Honestly, I just want to sing The Bare Necessities now more than ever.
Okay. I’m calling it. AniMat’s gonna give it the seal of approval.
The only thing I remember from this film is the image of a dead pregnant cat with it's fetus' spilling out her corpse in a pool of blood.
Wow! Now that's super dark and bleak.
My Agriculture science teacher once pulled an actual lamb fetus out of a bucket of water when teaching us about the umbilical cord and I wished he could somehow bring it back to life.
SPOILERS
Made me feel really bad for Kong. Having his mate and unborn kittens killed like that.
Oh, damn.
Oooh, Felidae!!!! Never thought you'd review it!
Well he has now and never will be the same after reviewing it.
Adore the adorable cats when it says "nothing to see hear!!!" 😂😂😂
I'm also allergic to cats in general meaning sneezing is a big deal to handle in any house of cats
Yeah. That is amusing. Felidae is my favorite mature animated movie. So I have seen the uncensored version on UA-cam plenty of times. I can tell what the censored stuff is in this review video a lot of the time. I can tell just based on context. It is amusing to have cute fluffy kittens as something to censor. My favorite scene in the movie is the sex scene. The review has this about 6:00 minutes in. The reviewer really freaks out during this part. Then there is a cut to some cute kittens with words saying "They're just playing". Okay, we can use that as a euphemism. To his credit, the reviewer did point out that the scene is potentially dangerous. It is due to the circumstances of the first two murders. I sure didn't notice on my own, because I was taken away by the thrill of the scene. That is cleaver of the reviewer.
And they say animation is for kids. The first time I heard about this movie was by another UA-camr, Brandon Tenold, who reviewed the film some years ago, and yeah, just the nightmare sequence alone is enough to give this film such an infamous reputation.
The first time I heard of this film was from the UA-cam channel Steve Reviews
They must have not heard of Ralph Bakshi
I first heard of the film on PhantomStriders top 10 creepiest animated movie list.
@@oliverklinton7164 Same
@@piotrsegal6475 Or anime, well even without that's there's Adult Swim, South Park and Family Guy.
“What the holy f***?!” was my initial reaction watching this movie. Credit to the German animation studio for going hardcore, but also have a beauty to the artistry even when it’s messed up imagery.
I never read the book, but think it’s pretty
similar from what I heard. Also “Felidae” is only the first in a whole series of books about Francis and his adventures
Felidae is one of my favorite adult animations of all time.
If you liked that film, I would LOVE it if you checked out my adult cartoons :)

I could imagine if Andy Serkis might make a Felidae movie for Netflix, using the same motion capture technology as Mowgli.
@Oscar95451
I like Andy Serkis, and I would definitely watch it.
they should make a live action remake of the film
The visuals would be ugly as fuck. Almost on par with the special effects from Cat's (2019)
@@heytino24 No, stop the pointless live action remakes already!
@@MrEnte3000 ok
No way! Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book is next. As Mark Elliot says, “it’s the last animated masterpiece to have Walt Disney’s personal touch”. This sounds like it’s the next Approval Seal winner 😱❤️🌟
I remember that line from the jungle book 40th anniversary 2-disc platinum edition dvd trailer.
@@Princess_-gp3ep yep. That’s the one
@@Princess_-gp3ep I double checked the trailer. That line was from the 1997 vhs trailer for the 30th anniversary so it’s not in the 40th anniversary trailer.
ua-cam.com/video/OuJDERBXgMs/v-deo.html
This is the vhs trailer I’m talking about
@@jamesgeorgi6627 It’s the jungle book masterpiece collection vhs trailer.
@@Princess_-gp3ep yeah. Sounds about right
Fun Fact: Francis is voiced by Cary Elwes.
The next review is a classic by Disney but all you got to do is 👏 look for the bear necessities the simple bear necessities
I'm just gonna say this, when you were saying that Francis was "too deep in the horny" in addition to the visual censorship you were showing, I was laughing my @$$ off.
Very funny man LMAO.
Agreed. It’s also really cute.
I couldn’t help snickering
Next review: Possibly The Jungle Book (1967) and I am so excited 😆!!!
I can't wait either if that's the case. 👍 😊
Is it? I've never heard it called Walt's swan song (then again regardless I'm hyped I loved The Jungle Book when I watched it the other week)
@@pokefanalex9504 it's known as that probably because he was heavily involved with it before dying.
@@chrisbrasel8060 ohhh I see now
@@pokefanalex9504 You get it the reference as nice profile pic too btw.
To all the people who say Animation is for babies and kids:
Go play in traffic, because y'all done lost your minds.😰
Next review will be “The Jungle Book” (1967)
👏 Look for the bear necessities the simple bear necessities
@@DanielGarcia-rn3ql 🎶 Forget about your worries and your strife🎶
@@arbytv5139 me and arby: i mean the bear necessities, old mother nature's recipes that bring the bear necessities of life yeah man just bring the bear necessities of life yeah man.
I've never even heard of this movie until I saw PhantomStrider's Creepiest Animated Movies video back in 2018. I should check it out sometime. I love stuff that's dark and creepy. Also, The Jungle Book's the next review.
This movie makes Cats 2019 look like The Care Bears Movie!!! I have NEVER had a movie keep me awake all night like this!! And that one scene also made me sick 🤢
Ah, Felidae.
A movie that one never forgets
It's basically an animated snuff film
This is the second animat review with a warning for the violence in the movie, the other being team America: world police.
Well, what do you know, we’re looking at my Dad’s favorite Disney film next.
Is it weird that I kinda love this movie? I saw it as an adolescent many many years ago, and it was really disturbing, but it is morbidly intriguing, it showed to me that animation isn't just for kids (this was before Happy Tree Friends, South Park, Family Guy and Drawn Together.)
I saw it like three times already, and now I want to see it again.
I love the movie and the book!
I also like the movie, I thought I was the only one!
It's essentially a feline version of The Handmaid's Tale.
Speaking of cats, my family’s cat named Pumpkin is under the weather. I’m not sure if he’ll still be alive when we get back from vacation next week. I’d hate to see him go but he’ll be in a better place. My prayers are for him. 🙏🏻
Oh boy! AniMat's going to review "The Jungle Book"! I'm so excited!
Haven’t seen it, butI don’t blame you of how this is disturbing in the same levels as King of Pigs, Watership Down, and Padak. It has very strong message to the story, especially of the main characters trying to stop a cat that is eliminating other cats. The animation also helps the surreal brutal look, the German animators did their homework! I may need check it out soon in the future. Next month, we’ll leave Germany and visit the jungles of India to meet with Mowgli and Baloo
Ah yes, "The Jungle Book," my Grandad's all time favorite...
@@scoutart1508 It's what I've heard...
I enjoyed this film growing up, sure it has murder and nightmare fuel moments. but i still enjoyed it nonetheless.
Don't forget the cat saxophones. (sorry, i have to play the censor game here).
I remember seeing this movie a few years ago. It was back when I was interested in checking out a lot adult or horror animated films. It’s was……… something. It really was a wild ride when watching this. But it definitely was disturbing to watch especially with the violence. Like the kind that probably make Quentin Tarantino movies look tamed. But I do like how original this movie was trying to be. It’s a movie I would say I saw but I never want to go check it out again. This was definitely no the aristocats.
So, which one of these three contenders for the most disturbing animated movie ever deserves that honor the most? "Where the Dead go to Die", "The King of Pigs", or this?
If you think about it, this is Disney’s scrapped Fraidy Cat movie. Both are similar in plot and theme with it being a noir murder mystery and the protagonist being a cat. So in a way ironically we do have the Fraidy Cat film (but obviously being more for adults than families).
I see The Jungle Book is next. Redbandit always picks the the best animated films for AniMat to do classic reviews on.
Felidae makes Ralph Bakshi's cat film look family friendly.
You know what else is an R-rated murder mystery? Beastars.
I'm already awaiting Melon's appearance in the third season.
Animat should review Chiron. Its a really disturbing movie about a sheep whose mother gets killed by a wolf. It’s made by the same people who made Hello Kitty.
Oh the irony.
What?!
The jungle book is the next review just in time for it’s 55th anniversary and I am excited! I have the movie on the 2-disc 40th anniversary platinum edition dvd from 2007.
👏 look for the bear necessities the simple bear necessities
Gerry McGrory was waiting for this review before. I remember that a decade ago, a friend of mine talk to me about this movie during the graduation party.
Coming up next the one Disney movie classic that made his studio back in action from both critics and audiences and became a hit that his old spark is finally back that’s right everyone he reviewed the remake but now he’s going to review the one classic that truly has the bear necessities before he passed away
He said the next classic review will be Walt Disney’s animated swan song. Jungle Book for sure.
Imagine still thinking animation is for kids after seeing this movie
Felidae: The Most Disturbing Cat Films
SPA's Fixed: The Most Disturbing Dog Film (Coming Soon)
It's probably going to be more so just a bunch of adult humor considering the premise.
@@mattwolf7698 I mean it's about a dog getting his balls cut off (aka being neutered)
Watching this review while playing with my kitty. Oh, the irony.
Two Animat reviews Yay
I have neen waiting for this day to come.
I don’t see the link to the uncensored version.
And also, I think the next review is The Jungle Book (1967) after this.

@@MrWildcard531 oh, yeah. I forgot about that
The Powerpuff Girls Movie
the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Cryptozoo
This is like the black cauldron but cats with a rated r rating 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
This movie was weird and gave me nightmares BUT it looks like warrior cats so I don’t mind anymore
This film needs a remake. Maybe it can be longer so the ending isn't rushed, or so we can get a post-credits scene
Btw I am a cat lover(mostly a dog lover but could go either way), and maybe it’s cause I’m desensitized by horror movies but I love this movie, me and my fellow cat lovers watch it with new comers of our group as a test of courage
In a weird way, I used to love this movie to the bits. Hell this movie has the most oddest vibes to this day, and yet.. it still fascinates me in a odd way. I still have the main song of this movie that was sung by Boy George on my mp3-player (yes, I am still own a mp3-player because why the hell not for nostalgic reasons) while keeping on listening to this melancholic music alongside thinking about this movie that had a huge impact on me.
You know what, it's still less nightmare inducing than Cats (2019).
At least this one is intentionally nightmare-inducing 😉😅
@@LucyLioness100 Much like Return to Oz is intentionally creepy unlike Legends of Oz with that damn "Puppet Glinda".
@@josephrowe849 well said 😂 Ani-Matt cannot stand Puppet Glinda; watch either his review of Musical Hell’s review to see that
I first heard of this movie from Bobsheaux way back when. Wtf was all I thought afterwards.
I am extra scared if this because I am a cat owner and would hate to see my cat in such a horrible situation.
Next review: Walt Disney's The Jungle Book
That moment you realize Disney also made a more light hearted murder mystery starring a car, and it's live action!
Oh God, this movie with gruesome cat violence, I sometimes wonder who this movie was even intended for, I mean, do ya'll know anyone who would actually WANT to see cats torn to shreds in the most gory and disgusting ways possible? Bleugh, urf, they even showed a dead pregnant cat with a string of unborn kittens spilling out of her womb, good night, everybody!
This makes the scariest scenes from Disney light hearted
@@bigmacintosh1766 I still think the deleted scene from the Black Cauldron is a serious contender for the goriest thing ever animated, and Disney cut it for a good reason.
Ohhhhh, this film......
This movie reminds me of The Warriors book series.
I remember watching this film in the 2006 when I was very young;
And this film absolutely traumatized me!
Still scars me to this very day, and I haven’t watched it since.
I just watched this for the first time and I don't say this very often anymore but I've really never seen anything like it. I'm completely fascinated. It's brutal, stomach-turning, and vulgar, and it's animated like an 80's Disney film. The animation is really strong, the voice acting is great, and I'm just completely perplexed as to how something like this even got made. (Now, I have never seen Watership Down or The Plague Dogs, but from what I'm reading it seems like they're in the same vein, so those are definitely on my to-do list now.)
Forgive me if any of these are silly questions, but can anyone fill me in on:
What sort of social climate was this movie made under? Who was the target audience here? Was there a big demand for this?
I feel like there's a social commentary under the surface here that I'm not necessarily understanding. What exactly is this movie trying to say? Germans doing unholy lab experiments on living things seems like low-hanging fruit. Is there more here? Maybe something more pertinent to German culture in the 90's?
Thanks for any insight you can provide! It's just such a bizarre film and I'm struggling to find resources that go into it in any sort of depth.
Eh, I see so many dead cats in my area. Mainly victims of cars.
I think I watched this movie once as a kid and believe me this movie gave me the creeps when I saw some censored moments!!
Love the warning scene
This is one of those films I've contemplated on seeing. And after this review, I may give it a look myself. I'll keep my guard up regarding the graphic content, though.
Something tells me that next time we'll see a couple of cats, but now they'll be dealing with a a boy and a bear.
Suck it Academy awards for calling animated movies “kids stuff” (an equivalent to calling comic books “kids stuff”) this is why animated movies are made to be an art form and not a genre. They are made to be dark, gritty, intense, and great storytelling and great animation and they’re like highly detailed paintings that would show more and this is what this movie looks like.
Imagine if this aired at the movie theaters instead of the Paw Patrol movie....
actually one of my favorites, scary and morbid and all. i’m excited to see what you think
The Jungle Book is next
Oh I loved this movie when I was a teen, as an enjoyer of cats and cat media (i was a big fan of warrior cats) it immediately sparked my interest! I remember enjoying it a lot even though it definitely scared me quite a bit, I especially remember the dream sequences being scary to me at the time. But I have always been a horror fan so a scare is part of the fun.
"They keep the cats more anatomically correct"
*Cat's balls flashes for a second on screen* why yes... yes they did.
It's a lot more Plague dogs then watership down that's what felidae is
You know, for kids!
Disturbing in both visual imagery and mental trauma in this film
I saw the cat experiment scene on youtube when I was 12 😭
Freaked me out for a whole week
I think the reason people are often tricked into thinking this is just a cute cat cartoon before learning the harsh truth is not just the cats, but also the art style. It's insane similarity to Disney quality almost feels manipulative.
"cartoons are for kids"
Felidae: hold my catnip
Moral Orel: oh gosh really? But we need to bathe Shapey in blood again.
Attack on Titan: *cough cough *
Rick and Morty: oh yeah....SUUUUUUUUUUREEEE 🙄
Berserk: what are we then??
Demon Slayer: *glares *
Stone Quackers: * puffs on joint* whatever man...
The Simpsons: never heard of family media?
Helluva Boss: 🎶kids die for freeeeeeeeeeeede🎶
DISNEY: animation is for kids feldae: hold my catnip
Finally this guy’s reviewing Felidae
Want to see another fucked up talking animal cartoon. I recommend watching the computer animated South Korean film, Padok. It's about a mackerel who gets trapped by a fishermen and sent to a seafood restaurant where she tries to convince the other fish that there's hope to escape (or so she thinks). Like Felidae, it's a pretty messed up movie and will easily traumatize children with blood & gore, intense violence, and animal cruelty. 🐟
Almost no reviewer mentions the AMAZING song by Boy George that accompanies the movie. It's dark, it's somber, it's about a "cat killer on a loose" - you gotta hear it!
Aw yes, Felidae. I’m not a huge fan of this film and not because of the kitty death. Because it doesn’t do the book it’s adapted from justice. The book is great! I highly recommend it if you enjoy strange, but fun animal fiction. Do be aware that it is from the 90s (there are some slurs thrown around) and is pretty graphic with its descriptions. The pros out way the cons however. The book is quite funny. It’s a dark comedy, Francis is constantly making sarcastic quips and the book doesn’t take itself too seriously which is good because the premise is wild. Felidae tackles themes such as eugenics, human/animal relationships, animal experimentation, how we treat and look down upon animals, and about how animals really aren’t that much different from us.
The movie though… it doesn’t do the book justice. It truncates the story down so much that it’s actually hard to follow the mystery. I agree that the story of the movie is sloppy. There’s not enough build up and the movie moves at a much quicker pace than the book. In the book, Francis sits down and thinks on what he’s discovered and gradually puts the pieces together. At least the movie was able to get the core message across albeit in a clumsy way.
I’m not at all a fan of the character design. This aspect makes the movie hardly watchable for me. In the book, the breed of the cat is so important to the plot. Bluebeard is a Maine coon, Pascal is a Havana Brown, Felicity is a Russian Blue, Kong is a Persian and so on. The story is about eugenics and breeding, so the breeds need to be represented for the mystery to make more sense. However, the characters look nothing like the real breeds. They barely resemble cats for that matter. What even is Kong? He’s not a cat. Wtf is he? I despise Pascal’s design. Havana browns are such beautiful cats and they made him look like a gremlin.
Anyway, read Felidae. The movie itself is not bad imo, but the book is way WAY better.
This and The Plague Dogs were dark but strangely poetic.
This was uploaded one day before my 25th birthday
8 words of my reaction: "What the bleep is up with this movie!?!" I mean I can get that this movie is no kiddie flick and has some real balls to tell the story like this but man are the deaths are screwed up. Never saw this movie till now and I gotta say, what a film and the animation and voice work here is good too. If I can handle a full watch of this movie I'll do it but for now, I'll just watch bits of pieces of it. Also cats! 🐱 🎥 🎨 🇩🇪😳
Person who didn’t see felidae: aw should be cute
Person who did see felidae: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!
I really enjoyed this movie when I finally managed to get through it, but the nightmare sequences were the only thing to almost break me on that attempt. This is a pretty brutal movie, but I'm glad I watched it. It does make Watership Down look like Bambi...
Im facing the same thing as you. I'm trying to get through watership down and I still can't due to how much the movie scares me.
The reason why I'm trying to get through it is because that movie has positive reviews on the internet, and I want to see if these reviews are actually correct.
Mystery cat animation only adult not for children
Yep
This film is how you do a good adult animation anything right. Also it's funny how the animation studio who made this went on to do that 1997 animated Pippi Longstocking movie and it's also sad they went bankrupted in 2010. Finally I would really love for GKIDS to get USA DVD rights to this movie cause it is so for them and as a way to make an adult animation licensing division, plus it would be not bad if they make a new English dub for it as well.
What was the animation company that made this movie?

Completely down for an uncensored edition of this review! :)
*WARNING*: This Video is 2 Scary For Easily Scared People!
I'd like to see the Nostalgia Critic's reaction to this movie. Also I remember seeing a clip of Felidae where the fight ended brutally.
Actually, in Phantomstrider and Nostalgia Critics video on the Creepiest Animated Movies, Felidae was no3 and Nostalgia Critic said ‘This makes Don Bluths darkest moments look positively tame’
Fun fact: Felidae was the most expensive German film made at the time, because Germany was suffering from Soviet rule until the Berlin Wall collapsed in 1989.
Awww, do you want to watch a cute cat movie by Disney? Say hello to the suicide kitty cults, nightmarish acid trips and animal experimentation, kids!
