’10 Lives’ Review: A Cat Comes Back in Different Forms in Kiddie-Targeted Kitty Toon
Bill Nighy runs away with the show, giving a ridiculously entertaining voice performance as the villain in this computer-animated children's movie.
Co-written and directed by Christopher Jenkins (a Disney alum who counts “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin” among his credits), “ 10 Lives ” makes for an entertaining and easily digestible outlier at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The computer-animated story of a cute but lazy cat — imagine Garfield but much cuddlier — who keeps coming back in different forms, “10 Lives” is hardly the first kid-focused toon to premiere in Park City (last year brought “The Amazing Maurice,” which quietly went on to become one of the 2023 edition’s bigger box office earners). “10 Lives” also has a subplot that would be right at home in a third-rate James Bond knockoff: Craven’s efforts to undermine Rose and replace the world’s bee population with animatronic insects.
