A huge disappointment Warning: Spoilers
"Gaturro" is a funny comic strip, and Gustavo Cova, the director of this film, proved some years before, with the movie "Boogie the Oily One" that he was able to do a good adaptation of a comic into an animated flick, so I was expecting this to be good, or at least entertaining.

Sadly, this film lacks of all the charm, fun and wit from the original comic strip in which it was inspired, being just a generic CGI film, that doesn't offer anything new to the medium, and to get it worst, it is boring and poorly made.

The animation from this movie is cheap and unappealing: The use of CGI doesn't capture the fun cutesy of the characters of the comic strip. That visual style just doesn't work here. Honestly, I think that if this movie has been made with the same animation style from movies such as "Fierro" or "Boogie the Oily One" it would have been much better, or at least not so unpleasant to look at.

The voice acting is merely average, while most of the comedy from this movie is just plain dumb and unfunny, lacking of all the cleverness from the source material.

"Gaturro" is a disaster in every aspect, a wasted opportunity of what could have been a much better movie for the whole family. Instead of that, it turns out to be a bland and forgettable product that didn't have any kind of impact or relevance.

A new failed attempt on Argentinian animation
casandra-rey1 May 2011
A curious thing about Argentinian children movies is that, being pretty new in the computer animation field, we think that our stories we can tell through the great tool that animation is can be half as good as the ones created marvelously at Pixar, Disney or even Dreamworks studios. Nothing further from reality. The best Argentinian animated movies (or the most famous, shall we say?) were the ones made by García Ferré. Simple stories, which visuals weren't anything really amazing but yet entertaining and sweet. But obviously not all Ferré's films were as good. There were some small productions which, sadly, didn't reached the same level as the first ones. After García Ferré, they came new things; science fiction, comedies, mixed sources. But we must speak frantically -Isidoro, Boogie, Plumíferos and right this one, Gaturro- well deserved a Razzie. The lack of imagination, the poor quality animation and the cliché gags of a bad and boring parody of Garfield are nothing we can be possible proud of. In fact, I may say it's even a shame. The story was empty, hollow, and if there was actually something there inside it was only some greedy attempt to suck the money out of unfortunate parents whose children's were raised with merchandise and comic books of the character. Pity, a sad sad pity. I really hope that next time our Argentinian film industry, especially the children directed one (and more exactly, the animated) will give us a nice surprise.

Love at first site!!!!!!
manpebble4 August 2023
Have i seen this film, no, did i fall in love with the simple act of looking at the marvelous animation and amazing trailers provided by imdb, yes. This movie holds a place very near and dear to my partners heart and i want to exprese on her behalf how much this film means to her; she grew up with this goofy little cat and carries parts of this into her modern day life. Quoting and naming things, people and animals after characters in this movie. It brings a sense of joy and nostalgia when simply talking about it and it makes me very happy to share this small part of her childhood with me. So for that ill give it a 10/10 (she also asked me to do it).

IT IS HONESTLY GREAT
brainstew0_04 August 2023
I love this film because it makes me happy its really silly but I used to watch it as a child. My childhood cat was named after one of the characters from this movie and nowadays I nickname people around me with things related to this movie. It brings a weird sense of nostalgia and makes me miss my childhood. I will never regret watching this movie even though its not the best animation out there ( obviously) but the amount of feelings and memories that I am able to recall make it all worth it. It is probably one of the silliest movies but I still love it. As a kid I didn't know what made a good film but thats what makes it great because only a child would be able to genuinely enjoy and understand.

Warning: Spoilers
This animated film has beautiful songs, "Mariposas en el Cielo" For Example This song deserved to be nominated for The Academy Awards for best original song in 2011.

The best animated out there
nicolico-3706520 August 2017
This is by far the best animated film I've ever seen. It's clever, funny, entertaining and surprising in every single aspect of it. I thought it was going to be a bland product but at the end of the day it was pretty fun and entertaining. I must say I enjoyed it more than all of Pixar movies and its animation is astonishing.

10/10 would see again
