I recently saw an anime called Cat Soup. Actually, it barely qualifies as an anime. Oh, it was Japanese, yes indeed it was, but it wasn't anime. It's really an art film, or should I say, art turned into a 30 minute film. Watching it was like seeing a Salvador Dali painting come alive and start wrigling and flopping right there in the museum. And if you know a lot about the body of Dali's works, then you can imagine the horror, nay the danger, of some of those offering coming alive in the presence of things smaller than they are. Better to keep small children away from the things that would pull off their arms and squeeze the blood juices from their bodies. So, yeah, this animated whutzit was pretty messed up, but surprisingly not excesively vulgar. If you like weird stuff happening to cute little characters (Or want to see a guy in a dominatrixesque rodent outfit have his arms cut off with a giant pair of scissors)...umm....watch Cat Soup!

Overall I give the movie a pencil and a tube of anti-biotic ointment... no... wait... those things are possibly useful, instead, I give this movie an empty keychain (Inherently useless, unless one puts a key on it.)
