Annecy Classics: Cat City
A special agent mouse, the cat mafia, top secret missions… a fantastic parody of the spy film genre!
A cult film in Hungary, Cat City – Macskafogó in its mother tongue – is a spy film like no other. The good guy is a special agent mouse, and the bad guys are vicious felines from the cat mafia. Experience an explosive cocktail of spoofy references to box-office hits. As the mice try to foil their arch enemies’ plans to exterminate them once and for all, a hilarious parody unfolds, filled with off-beat humor and crazy situations.
A must-see Hungarian gem!
