Movie Reviews

TIME Magazine - 4/10 by Stefan KanferI especially liked two songs flotsam and jetsam and the title number they seemed to catch what you called the golden nonsense of the heart.
User Review - 10/10 by Todd APeople who diss this film basically have no class The film is in a way for kids because there's was no sex scenes to be known The film is a tad dark due to the orgins of Archy which was shown in the film of he was human who commited suicide in the river and for some reason he was reincarnated as a cockroach. The material is bit adult but the adult material is often light and not as obvious like Fritz The Cat was. The main characters have likeable personalities and the music is great This animated film is most overlooked and underrated film ever made, give it a look.
User Review - 10/10 by Lee BThis is a film that was based on a musical that went on Broadway and also based on the short stories by a fellow named Don Marquis about a newspaperman who jumped in the river to drown himself. He reappears as a cockroach, who finds he can still type by jumping up and down on the keys of a typewriter. He fell in love with Mehitabel, the cat (an unlikely romance huh?). He writes poetry to her, and tries to keep her on the straight and narrow (kind of like Jiminey Cricket don't you think?). Big Bill the Alley's tom-cat (voiced by The Flintstones' Alan Reed) is Mehitabel's heart-throb, and also Archy's nemesis. Archy declares war in a George Herriman sequence; That is until he heard had Mehitabel had kittens of course and "needs him." Oh! you folks will to see it (the film) for yourself how it ends. So what can I say about this film well...It is truly a colorful animated Broadway musical with toe-tapping music and a top-notch cast; Carol was great as the seductive feline Mehitabel, I remember her vocals from "Happily Ever After" and "Thumbelina." I love it when she goes "Toujours Gai,Toujours Gai." I also love it when Mehitabel did Romeo & Juliet in such a jazzy zest, I could help but go along with Tattersall's aghast expressions (just for the fun). So overall I think this film is a colorful,comedical,musical work of art.
User Review - 8/10 by Ralph RAwesome animated music with lots of trippy visuals and depressing anti-kid content. Essentially the story of the town whore, and an anarchist, hopeless romantic cockroach.
User Review - 8/10 by Ashley JAn animated feature based on a Broadway musical about a cockroach poet and an alley cat
