Member Rating:  
Six animated short subjects which are decidedly low on the "cute and fuzzy" factor are brought together in this collection. Cartoon Noir includes "Ape," in which an unhappy couple bicker over their unusual dinner entree; "Abductees," which tells the tale of several people kidnapped by visitors from other worlds; "Joy Street," where a despondent woman's life is saved by an unlikely benefactor; "The Story of the Cat and the Moon," which finds a feline beguiled by a satellite outside its reach; "Club of the Discarded," the tale of a group of unwanted mannequins who set up housekeeping on their own; and "Gentle Spirit," adapted from Dostoyevsky's short story, in which a woman is followed by a forbidding creature. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Review 55: just as the title reads, this dvd contains animated shorts delivering the genre with even more control over the picture as the imagery can further set the mood&tone.

I was expecting something completely different than what this delivered. The DVD seemed completely random, there was no flow to it at all. I felt like I was watching a sub par art school compilation film, the only short I actually enjoyed was Club of the Discarded. Sadly, the shorts do not live up to the average viewer rating. ick.

I was expecting something else. The title seems to have been randomly chosen. It was just a bunch of cartoons thrown together. Only one cartoon, titled "Abductees" (?) was interesting. Its soundtrack was the tape-recorded testimony and therapy sessions of people who claimed to have been taken aboard alien spacecraft. Unfortunately, I had to sit through five mediocre shorts to get to it. I guess I just don’t like cartoons as much as I hoped I would.
