The Rabbi's Cat(2011)
Algiers, 1920s. Rabbi Sfar has more than one problem. His beautiful daughter Zlabya is becoming a teenager and above all, his parrot-killing cat has just started talking. The delivery of a box from Russia further complicates things when a painter is discovered inside, more dead than alive. He is on a quest for a hidden tribe and its mythical city in Africa. Convinced that the city exists, he sets off on an incredible adventure, taking with him the Rabbi, his cat, a wise old Arab Sheikh and an eccentric Russian millionaire. For more about The Rabbi's Cat and The Rabbi's Cat Blu-ray release, see The Rabbi's Cat Blu-ray Review Director: Joann Sfar » See full cast & crew The Rabbi's Cat Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Rabbi's Cat is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of New Video Group with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.85:1. New Video has brought out some really unusual looking animated fare lately, including Tales of the Night, A Cat in Paris and the especially lovely Chico & Rita, and The Rabbi's Cat makes a very appealing companion piece to this growing group. The animation style here is fairly whimsical. I'd compare the creature designs to the old DePatie Freleng pieces from the 1960s and beyond, notably their iconic Pink Panther franchise. The humans are a varied lot, but kind of look like "kinder, gentler" version of Edward Gorey characters at times. The Byzantine backgrounds are incredible, with lots of arabesques and intersecting patterns that are so evocative of Algiers. Colors are bright and bold, and several shots have a nice multi-plane aspect to them that adds a dash of dimensionality. Line detail is very crisp and even with the surfeit of busy patterns, no aliasing or other artifacts were noticed in preparation for this review. The Rabbi's Cat Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Rabbi's Cat features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix in the original French language (with optional English subtitles) that comes wonderfully alive in several outdoor scenes as well as with the film's really charming and evocative score. Dialogue is very cleanly presented and fidelity is excellent. There are some issues in the subtitles with "special" characters (like words with French accents) that display incorrectly.
