Cute

Warning: Spoilers
While I don't consider "Lucky and Zorba" to be a masterpiece, I think that it was a cute little film, with a very good ecological message.

The characters from this movie were adorable and very likable, particularly the cat Zorba. I like the way in which this doesn't follow the stereotypical portrayal of the cats as mean creatures (An annoying cliché which has been done to death in many other cartoons) The animation and the music were merely decent (Though I like some of the songs) but the characters designs were cute and pleasant to watch.

Even if "Lucky and Zorba" isn't perfect, I found it to be an enjoyable animated film for the whole family.

Some cartoonist at Disney should look and take notes...

Is there a conspiracy against this film
jimcantwell17 October 2003
I found it incredible that 7% of those who rated this film gave it a "1". This is an adorable animation with a positive message for all who watch it. The dialogue is clever and uplifting and the characters are excellent. The music is beautiful. This is a movie that can be enjoyed by adults as well as children. My three year old was terrified by the nasty rats. Isn't it nice to have an alternative to the exact same rehashed characters (who look and act like cartoon versions of "Friends' actors") portrayed by Disney and Dreamworks in all their animations? Don't listen to those who gave this animation a low score; it is a beautiful film for all.

An excellent italian cartoon in reply to american kolossals
lchiari4 January 1999
Animations, plot, music, moral: everything is surprising in this italian production from Sepulveda booklet. Moreover its budget was "only" $ 5,000,000.

Excellent
friedfysh14 September 2006
I watched this movie dubbed in Spanish on a DVD that came free with a Spanish magazine, so I obviously wasn't expecting much. What I found though is one of the most heartwarming children's films I've ever seen. There are some great songs (in Spanish anyway) and the DVD I have even has a karaoke feature should you decide you like them so much (yes, I've done it). The story does pretty much what the title says. A seagull dies and leaves a cat to look after her egg. The film follows the adventures of the baby seagull and her cat friends. There are moments of sorrow and others of happiness. I'm sorry for not being more articulate but my point is that I was emotionally touched and I think you will be too. Watch it if ever you get the chance.

A Surprising, wonderful, moving movie!
beaniebfan13 April 2002
I just watched this movie, and I was in tears by the end - it is so moving! It was quite a surprising movie, as I had no idea what to expect. The cats are all wonderful characters, and I especially loved Lucky - the "cat" who can fly! This movie has a wonderful message - that you can do anything if you put your heart and mind to it. Parents and children alike will enjoy it. An excellent movie!!

A poetic movie
Fracce31 January 1999
I relly liked this movie because the storyline was touching. It's good both for young and old people. Zorba is a noble cat and Fortunata is nice and "cucci". Antonella.
