This
talking-animal action comedy from Lawrence Guterman, the co-director of Antz
(1998), follows on the heels of the Babe and Dr. Dolittle films. Unknown to
humans, a secret war has been raging between cats and dogs for eons, but a
fragile truce has long held the order of the animal kingdom in place. Now
the balance of power has tipped, as a researcher, Professor Brody (Jeff
Goldblum), is about to invent a vaccine that will erase all human allergies
to dogs. This is too much for the autocratic Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes), a
white Persian kitty bent on world domination. The Brody home becomes ground
zero for the renewed conflict between feline and canine, with a young Beagle
puppy named Lou (Tobey Maguire) caught in the middle as the new point man
for his species' cause. Cats and Dogs co-stars Elizabeth Perkins and
Alexander Pollock, as well as the vocal talents of Susan Sarandon, Alec
Baldwin, Jon Lovitz, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Joe Pantoliano. | Jeff Goldblum | Professor Brody |
