Pollux et le chat bleu (1970)
Very solid movie and adaptation
Here's the review i have of dougal and the blue cat:
it's a really good adaptation of the show that keeps the charm of the original despite its obvious and drastic tone change from cheery and whimsical to very grim and dark, at it emphasizes its characters, writing and world very well and changes them to fit the huge shift in tone in a way that doesn't derail them.
buxton is such a compelling villain and has an interesting arc that he has throughout the whole movie, on whether or not he should keep supporting this cult like cause under the control of the the blue voice, who may be the most horrifying things to come out of the property.
and this movie has some of the trippiest visuals in any kids film, the cinematography is really pretty and some scenes are breath taking.
the beginning drags a bit and it takes a bit to get into the good stuff but overall a very well done movie. if you're a fan of the original series please give this a watch.
