The computer-animated story of a cute but lazy cat \u2014 imagine Garfield but much cuddlier \u2014 who keeps coming back in different forms, \u201c10 Lives\u201d is hardly the first kid-focused toon to premiere in Park City (last year brought \u201cThe Amazing Maurice,\u201d which quietly went on to become one of the 2023 edition\u2019s bigger box office earners). Still, it\u2019s probably not what most people imagine when they hear the words \u201cSundance movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    First introduced in feline form, Beckett (voiced by Mo Gilligan) is adopted by a scientist named Rose (Simone Ashley) when she nearly runs him over with her car. Rose is working on a postgraduate dissertation focusing on finding ways to save the world\u2019s bee population. Her boss, Professor Craven (Bill Nighy), tries to sabotage her project for his own nefarious reasons. Feeling jealous of Rose\u2019s assistant\/boyfriend Larry (Dylan Llewwellyn), Beckett gets himself in much trouble, losing his ninth life in the process. Lucky for him, a kindly angel (Sophie Okonedo) gives the cat 10 more chances to make it right, be less selfish and win Rose back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While that high-concept premise surely sounds schematic (and slightly macabre) to adults, younger audiences should find it fun counting down the 10 lives. Every time Beckett is reincarnated, he <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears as a new animal in a different situation. Kids can watch him become a horse, a cockroach and a parrot, and so on. But it\u2019s not until Beckett morphs into a dog that the real fun starts. Jenkins and his co-writers, Karen Wengrod and Ken Cinnamon, mine many amusing situations from the animosity between cats and dogs. No matter which species they prefer, pet owners will laugh with recognition at this amusing comparison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But \u201c10 Lives\u201d is about more than just hilarious scenarios; the movie also has bigger themes on its mind. For example, there\u2019s a message about sustainability and climate change. Rose\u2019s research on bee life conservation mines the idea of all species coming together to carry the burden of keeping the earth alive. These ideas might flow unnoticed by younger audiences, yet they give the film a deeper resonance. \u201c10 Lives\u201d also has a subplot that would be right at home in a third-rate James Bond knockoff: Craven\u2019s efforts to undermine Rose and replace the world\u2019s bee population with animatronic insects. It\u2019s absurd and doesn\u2019t always make sense, but allows the movie\u2019s real star to shine brightly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Nighy brings down the house on several occasions with an uproariously ridiculous performance. His voice slippery like a lizard, the actor makes every intonation clear and meaningful yet also full of mockery, playing the character while also making fun of him. Hearing that stately clipped voice utter the pharse \u201cDickie numb bum,\u201d will be hard to top. Other voice performances are on notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Perhaps Nighy runs away with the film because all the other elements are much less striking. The animation looks like a conventional throwback to hand-drawn films, while somehow also anonymous with no distinguishing features. The expressions on the animals\u2019 faces \u2014 particularly the original Beckett before his many transformations \u2014 are more expressive than the human faces. The script borrows from so many tropes that it loses the narrative thread. Pop star Zayn Malik, who also wrote songs for \u201c10 Lives,\u201d appears as a pair of sweet goons who half-heartedly help Craven. But the characters are not especially funny and feel so peripheral to the story that they could be eliminated without affecting anything. Malik\u2019s songs are catchy, at least, even if most are relegated to the end credits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Gilligan and Ashley play well off each other, giving loose and free performances. Ashley\u2019s voice is appropriately full of warmth, while Gilligan adds an intriguing scratch that makes him believable as a cat. At Sundance, \u201c10 Lives\u201d may seem like an oddity, but it\u2019s made with enough panache (from Nighy in particular) to perform well in the wider world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
