Ever since the world was born, two forces have been locked in perpetual battle. Their struggle is so Manichean, so ferocious, so Herculean that it makes the clash between good and evil look like a game of checkers! This ancestral duel is so ancient and so merciless that it can only be...Oggy against the Cockroaches! (Verleiher-Text)
Kritiken (2)
Moving a series onto the big screen is always a tricky business, which mostly ends up in a cocktail that doesn’t know whether to appeal to fans or uninitiated viewers. Doubly tricky are feature movie length adaptations of silent, Tom and Jerry style slapstick cartoons. The creators of Oggy and the Cockroaches: The Movie didn’t let this worry them and so they just come up with a quartet of separate episodes (or short stories, if you like) that are basically just longer and slightly more sophisticated than regular episodes, all linked by the basic theme of “the perpetual battle". Or rather, it is mostly classic animation and there is no speaking (apart from some gobbledygook appearing in speech bubbles). The first prehistoric story “the fight for fire" is like the best moments in the original series; a connoisseur will notice one reference after another and will have as much fun as the uninitiated. The second, fairytale medieval part “seeking and saving your true love" is even better and I wouldn’t hesitate to classify it in the golden collection of animated slapstick alongside the pearls of the genre. A pure font of ingenuity, humor and fun for all, where even the grumpy of us will discover the child inside him. Unfortunately, with the shift to the year 1900, not everything about the Sherlock is really bad, but it is certainly run-of-the-mill. And it all climaxes in the weakest, countless times seen elsewhere part à la Star Wars, which can only be endured thanks to it being so short and it being the culmination of the whole movie. The result is two different halves, the second of which does its best to spoil things. And unfortunately it works.

Dieser Film ist eigentlich eine sehr verrückte Paraphrase des dreiteiligen Slapsticks von Buster Keaton Drei Zeitalter. Oggy, Jack, die Kakerlaken und andere alte Bekannte verbringen die erste Erzählung in der Steinzeit, die zweite im Mittelalter und die dritte im Holmes-England, wobei die ersten zwei Aufenthalte besser als der dritte sind, den ich aber nicht ganz verwerfen möchte, weil auch er ausgezeichnete Momente hat. Den Epilog im Stil von Star Wars, dem die moderne Animation einen großen Teil der Stimmung weggenommen hat, halte ich für überflüssig.
