Strengths ▲ • A strong and original narrative and visual universe • The two auteurs are well-known in the world of animation as well as in thriller litterature • Very few young public oriented animated features deal with a thriller universe • Attractive french voice casting : Dominique Blanc, Bruno Salomone, Jean Benguigui, Bernadette Lafont • Already on the web via Facebook http: //www. facebook. com/pages/Une-Vie-de-chat/110858428933459 And on Folimage’s blog http: //folimage. over-blog. com/categorie-10935730. html

Weaknesses ▼ • A very competitive period with movies such as: Harry Potter, Megamind, Chimpanzés 2 or Narnia 3: all of them in 3 D ! But there will be also 2 D movies: Le Marchand de sable or L’Apprenti du père Noël ! • Non realistic original drawing can be a brake.
