Oscar Nomination: A cat in paris January 24, 2012

We could hardly wait for the Sunday Cat to pick this up. 

In case the trailer is unclear, the cat has a double life, one as a cat burglar’s helper and another as the beloved pet of a little girl whose police officer mother is after the man who murdered her husband.

    Cool! But… did they have to translate “Une vie de chat” as “A Cat in Paris”? What was wrong with “A Cat’s Life”? The title was supposed to play upon the expression “a dog’s life” which has the same idiomatic meaning in both French and English.

    Nemo, I can’t think of any good excuse for the title.

  3. Lectrice Says:

    I can only assume that they think the inclusion of “Paris” adds cachet to English speakers, especially Americans.

    Looks great.
