Cats and Dogs

This film looks at the top-secret, high-tech espionage war going on between cats and dogs, which their human owners are blissfully unaware of. Cats and dogs, known to mankind only as cuddly pets and man's best friend, have engaged in a fierce and merciless battle.

Mr. Tinkles, a ruthless cat, is plotting intensively to achieve nothing less than world domination. The film follows a Cat's plan to destroy a new vaccine, that if developed, would destroy all human allergies to Dogs, and the Dogs' efforts to stop the Cats. Mr Tinkles main target is Professor Brody, who is working on a medicine to rid people from dog hair allergies. Yet Mr. Tinkles strives to get to the substance, analyze it and then have it tunred into a means of rendering all humans of the world aggressively allergic to any kind of dog. Cats would rule, as dogs would then be exterminated.

The vaccine's developer is Professor Brody, whose family is protected by a team of dog agents, joined by their new puppy, Lou (Tobey Maguire). Together with Butch (Alec Baldwin) and a few others from the neighbourhood, including a wise older dog who watches out for him (Susan Sarandon), and a small dog who serves as an electronics expert (Joe Pantoliano).

All in all a fab film for all you big kids out there!
