Cats Don't Dance Details

Cats Don't Dance

"Cats Don't Dance" is typical fare: a dancing cat who wants to be a Hollywood star circa 1939. Of course, animals only play animal roles in the movies but our hero Danny (a cat) won't accept that as an answer. Plenty of big laughs for adults here but there are also some wonderful characters including the bratty baby starlet Darla Dimple (Shirley Temple meets Baby Herman) and her Schwarzenegger-type bodyguard Max. There's also a jittery hippo, a cute penguin and a keen elephant who helps Danny fulfil his dream and land the girlerr, cat. Randy Newman's songs are just as inspired as the film: a pleasant, kid-friendly picture with lots to satisfy the older crowd as well.
