History YMMV / Felidae

*** Okay.

** When Nozemphtekh is trying to get Francis to Mate with her a second time, she drops this gem:

** The rooftop chase is quite [[Series/TheBennyHillTheme Benny Hill worthy]].

** [[Slapstick The rooftop chase]].

%%* {{Narm}}: Some people view the English dub as this.

** When Nozemphtekh is trying to get Francis to Mateo wither her a second time, she drops this gem:

* HarsherInHindsight: The series' FantasticRacism and Nazi overtones can be a little unbearable, after seeing author Akif Pirinçci's turn towards far-right politics and his controversial statements denigrating LGBT and immigrants. In 2015, Pirinçci's books were pulled and publishing contracts were cancelled after he remarked to a group of German nationalists that [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust concentration camps]] were a good idea.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ''The entire soundtrack.'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRvTnQRcQw4 Shun the nonbeliever!]]

* AllAnimationIsDisney: Averted. This is an animated film that looks like it was made by Walt Disney or Don Bluth, but it shows cats getting killed and having sex.

* UnfortunateImplications: Only present in the book, Francis considers "turning homosexual" (among other behaviors) to be the result of animals becoming desperate or going insane after being kept in captivity. Along with the implication that homosexuality is wrong, this also [[CriticalResearchFailure ignores the fact that homo- and bisexual behavior has been observed in wild populations as well as captive ones.]] May be considered an AuthorTract nowadays, seeing author Akif Pirinçci's turn into an anti-LGBT activist who accuse German men of being "gayified".

Along with the implication that homosexuality is wrong, this also [[CriticalResearchFailure ignores the fact that homo- and bisexual behavior has been observed in wild populations as well as captive ones.]]

* FriendlyFandoms: ''Felidae'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePlagueDogs'', and ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' are commonly grouped together due to being violent films about domestic animals.

* CultClassic: The film has a lot of fans online.

* FanPreferredCouple: Francis/Felicity.
* FirstInstallmentWins: Even without having the (in?)famous movie attached to it. Most fans of the books agree that the first is the best.

* MisaimedFandom: Claudandus does have some fans on the web.

* MisaimedFandom: Claudandus does have some fans in the web.

** Kong and Francis can give off this vibe, at least in the English movie dub. Kong even calls Francis "cutie pie." He also disparages Francis and implies he's Bluebeard's gay lover.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Yes, ''Felidae'' was based on a book. Also, there are actually seven books (the first one being the one made into a film). However, only the first two (and more recently, the fifth) have been translated into English.

* FriendlyFandoms: ''WesternAnimation/{{Felidae}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePlagueDogs'', and ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' are commonly grouped together due to being violent films about domestic animals.

* {{Narm}}: Some people view the English dub as this.
* NauseaFuel: Plenty of it. This movie is not for the faint of heart.
* OlderThanTheyThink: A series about completely non-anthropomorphic cats that is exceedingly dark and violent? It's not a new thing at all. XenofictionalLiterature thrives on NatureIsNotNice and thus violence is commonplace. A good example is ''Literature/WarriorCats''. It came out after ''Felidae'' but features ''a lot'' of FamilyUnfriendlyViolence. It's [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids even aimed at kids]]. The only unusual thing about ''Felidae'' is that it's been adapted into a movie. Most xenofiction works stay books, and books can be more violent than films (this is a large reason why works like ''Warrior Cats'' and ''Literature/TailchasersSong'' have [[DevelopmentHell a hard time being adapted]]--they're too dark for mainstream film popularity.

* PopularWithFurries: The film tends to creep out non-furries and non-{{xenofiction}} fans as they're not used to cute cats being so violent. Furries and fans of other cat works, like ''Literature/WarriorCats'', however aren't phased as easily. ''Felidae'' is thus a pretty popular cat animated film.

* CrossoverShip: Shipping Francis from Duchess of ''Disney/TheAristocats'' is a thing.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Yeah, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick it's an animated movie about kitties... and gruesome murder! And surrealistic, disturbing nightmares!]] There's also cats fucking like rabbits. Or rather, like cats, which is to say, [[TheImmodestOrgasm loudly and violently]]. There's even a cult that holds ''suicide pacts''. [[DeadpanSnarker Francis]] even {{lampshades}} this- "What I was watching wasn't exactly a scene out of ''Disney/TheAristocats''."

* EarWorm: "I was happy here, unfettered and free..." The main theme of the song sung by Boy George (Yes, '''that''' [[Music/CultureClub Boy George]]) is bound to get stuck in your head.

* FanPreferredCouple: Francis/Felicity. Even WebVideo/MediaHunter ships them [[spoiler: or at least did until her death sunk the ship.]]

* [[CrossesTheLineTwice Crosses The Line More Than Twice]]
