Felidae

Director: Michael Schaack
Year Released: 1994
Rating: 1.5

Green-eyed cat Francis (voiced by Ulrich Tukur) moves into a rundown home with his owner Gustav (Manfred Steffen) and immediately notices a dead feline outside, so he and new partner Bluebeard (Mario Adorf), a gruff Maine Coon, do a little detective work, which leads them to a strange cult and several disemboweled cats and then they try to locate Claudandus (Klaus Maria Brandauer), a Havana Brown who was subjected to all sorts of experimental "treatments."  This German-produced animated movie looks like a Saturday Morning cartoon (for those old enough to remember names such as Don Bluth or William Hanna and Joseph Barbera) although the abundance of entrails and blood - and one particularly creepy sexual encounter - would freak out any kid who watched it, and it's continuously bogged down with endless dialogue and a lack of real action.  It's based on a book by Akif Pirinçci, a writer with ultra right-wing political beliefs, and a speech he gave in 2015 - which is far more horrifying than this - was so incendiary publishers yanked his books off the shelves.
