FPBP. The dubbers letting Phillips and Rodstein just riff and improvise on their dialogue was so fricking kino it hurts, even if it made soccer moms seethe.

I know what you're thinking: there's something off with the faces, everything looks subtly off and inhuman, the artstyle varies wildly with each version. But you've got to understand that that's just how thirdie productions are: they're all cheap tat
you're a fricking idiot. its AI shit.
The first one is the best one. I think the fez was a mistake.
Disagree, Moscow Meow will always be my favourite for the cinematography and animation quality alone. It's a bit of a normie filter due to the plot, but I don't think any animated film since has reached those heights.
You have to agree that adventures in Greece were also amazing. Didn't think Zeus would help them to find that kitty's owner.
It was fine, sure, but I really didn't like how the outsourced the Mount Olympus stuff. I guess the animation style being completely different gives it more of an ethereal vibe but I just think it looks childish and low effort compared to the rest of the movie.
Wasn't a fan of Americats. Maybe it's the setting, but it just felt souless. Normally I hate movies that suddenly add time travel to them, but cats 4 really handled it well.
>Wasn't a fan of Americats
Is so bad it's good. The animation mistakes are hilarious.
>5 is an attempt to "go back to the roots" after 4 flops hard
>flops even harder
no wonder americats sucks balls.
Wow, this is amazing. You can tell how the first movie is so unlike the others that it feels different from its sequels, like Terminator. Then, 1-4 are the GREAT ones, 5 is the "meh" sequel, & 6 is the absolute dogshit DTV crapfest that the Cats of Istanbul fandom pretends to not exist.
>1-4 are the GREAT ones,
2-4
>2-4
Are you 10 years old? What's wrong with 1? Too much drama, not enough kitties? The original one isn't supposed to be actually about cats, if you couldn't tell.
1 is the best CoI film because Abibi serves as comedic relief to a more serious story, and is not the focus of the story itself. You are like those phillistines who think Captain Jack is the main character of the pirates of the carribean trilogy.
Any thoughts on the upcoming Cats of Instanbul 7, London Calling?
the fact that they're only using old footage in the trailers isn't a good sign
My bet is on it getting canceled again, like the 2015 one
I’m still upset they cancelled Magicats because of Americats. At least they went back to traditional animation.
they changed "clawing" to calling? idk how I feel
was there a sequel where Abib met up with Lovecraft's cat or am I misremembering
that's from the comic books
They actually animated it for the theatre version of "Back in Time" but it was cut from the home video release. It's considered lost media now, hopefully it'll resurface one day.
>Americats
>Obesed dying chonker in the background
>We're never gonna meowk it home are we!
>Not with that cattitude!
>Back in Time made wit ha new studio
>drop Istanbul from the title
>wieneramamie time travel plot
>Divisive animation style
Moscow Meow! was the return to form the fan base needed after the catastrophe of "Cats 4".
I was surprised they got away with some of the stuff in the movie
>pharoh cats
>all the slaves are rats
>the plot of the movie has Abib having to find where all the rats hoarded the food to save Egypt from starving from the famine
Right. Sometimes I wonder if this studio just slapped The Cats of Istanbul name on a random weird fantasy script they had just to help with marketing.
There was a sequence set in India in Cats 4 but they cut it after the backlash to the Temple of Doom.
The whole movie was a mess animated by five different studios. Notice how character designs aren’t consistent at all.
Was Cats in Istanbul 3D really as bad as people say? It never released outside of Japan.
>dance party ending
imagine the moronic rap song they would've used on the american version if it had one.
>script got rewritten so Abibi is the main cat and gets the most screentime
This is what happens, when those who saw the sequel first as kids get to work on the IP
They completely changed his origin story because a human being turned into a cat by God was too out there for 2009. He also gets his fez from a dog -- lame.
>What are you going to tell your wife, Nikolai? She's not going to like it, meow!
>She knows my cats won't let me get in trouble! Now let's hit that disco club!
the only one of the fez era with soul.
It’s Toyo no Neko-tachi, not Cats in Istanbul.
It’s Abibu, not Abib.
While I enjoyed yokai-themed atmosphere there was something missing in the whole message of this whole film. Maybe it was more focused on subtle human love story.
I've only seen Americats. I didn't know there were other movies.
Are the dubs watchable for the prequels? I don't like reading subs.
Abib’s Japanese VA is kino.
Download a version with fansubs. The subs that came with the official US release has shit like
that isn't in the original Japanese
Americats was made for americans but there is a japanese redub with the original japanese cast but is not as funny as the stupid voices they do in the regular english version.

THIS TIME ISTANBUL CAT IS GOING DOWN IN HISSTORY
god I wish this was a real series. You homies have no fricking idea.
I'm actually a little sad this doesn't exist. I love cats and it looks like they would be sweet little flicks.
>All these people not getting that the original film was partially a critique of the political violence in Turkey in the 60s and 70s
The other films turning it into just generic kiddie shit when the first one was actually fairly somber at parts (I think it would've gotten PG-13 if the rating had existed for anime at the time) was a mistake.
I like the look of the cats on the first movie before they looked like generic japanese mascot characters. No idea why they made this into kid movies but 5 was awesome too bad it flopped so hard.
>Yusuf heartfeltly says goodbye to his family, despite only leaving for work
>doesn't show up again
It's the kind of thing you never notice when you watch as a kid
>that suave playboy cat who always chases pussycats
>that small, timid but smart kitten who saved the whole group
>that tough old-timer cat who saw military conflicts and organized dog street gangs
>that chubby cat who loves to eat all the time but is still agile for some reason
>that tweaked out cat with patchy fur that lives in a trash can
Too bad they dropped the humans after 3. Hell there was only like 1 minute of the human cast on that one.
Which one’s your Halloween watch, bros?
This spin-off. It was very unexpected (completely different studio) but very decent sci-fi experiment. OST was top-tier space electronica and synth ambient
>I let Redlettermedia decide what I like
realistically we have what 2-4 years before we can type in "Cats of Istanbul movie series" into a prompt and get a full weekend marathon of movies?
For me it was the Sergio Leone homage in Cats 4
Will you be getting the Blu-ray? I hope the quality on the transfer is good.
>Blu-Ray comes out
>Cinemaphile gets spammed with threads about a series no one even remembered until now
It’s so transparent
Thanks but I'll stick with the VHS collection.
>Istanbul, Atheac, EYT, Now York, GRYS, Istamug, Hems, New York, ( S ), Moscow.
Where is there left to go? Is it time for a reboot?

>black cat just comes in and takes over the whole franchise
A chilling sign of our times.....
Abib look out!
>makes frens with the hippo and the crocodile after talking about how much they love fish
zoomers will never know how fricking good the cats of instanbul series was I still can't believe it's lost media.
AI images are going too far
Until I have these movies, they haven't gone far enough.
whatever happened to the orange cat in 1
Selim's daughter adopts him, and his other cats. You can see him in the background in the scene when Azra visits her.
If you mean why he doesn't show up in the rest of the series, it's likely because while he has plenty of screentime, he has only a single line in the scene when Selim copes by imagining the cats talking to him.
Americats was so shit, especially after the kino that was Moscow Meow
>le pretending AIslop is le real xDD
all of you should have a nice day
