402 #6 - Felidae (1994)

Felidae is a German animated film from 1994. It's an adult rated murder mystery based around a town's cat population. The film is infamous online, which is where I first heard about it and later watched it.

I loved the designs of the characters. Every one is unique and it plays into their character, such as the strong brutish Kong having a very large, angular design rather than the more rounder, graceful design of the lead Francis. The designs actually play into the story which centers around selective breeding and genetics.

 

The art style during dream sequences also has a very scratchy style with few colours that help distinguish it from waking reality and show the protagonist's thought process as he tries to solve the mystery.

The film is also quite infamous for it's gore, swearing, and sexual themes. I can appreciate adult animated films, as there is a wide misunderstanding of animation being a genre, not a medium, and it being for children.
