Content: The hungriest cat since Garfield is back: Simon`s Cat finally provides amusing capers on DVD again. After the great success of the first DVD, 23 more clips around the YouTube star are now coming into the trade. In the meantime Simon`s Cat is a real success brand. After more than 650 million YouTube views, over 3.5 million YouTube subscribers and over 2.3 million Facebook fans, the merchandising is also becoming a real hit. The books become bestsellers, there are calendars, piggy banks, pillows, T-shirts, mugs, notepads and and and.
So now this success story continues on DVD. If you don't always want to watch the cartoons on the computer, you now have the perfect opportunity to enjoy the best clips in one piece in front of the TV. A cat tries to protect its owner from a large spider - with disastrous consequences. She has to realize that she doesn't really cut a good figure on the ice. In addition, the cat messes with birds, a squirrel and a dancing Santa Claus figure, flirts with a cute cat lady, experiences the razor-sharp picture of an HD TV, discovers his own reflection and is annoyed by an overly naive puppy. And of course, the cat is always coming up with new ways to get food as quickly as possible and make Simon's life miserable. You just have to love this cat.
Naturally, fans already know the films from the Internet. Nevertheless, the purchase of the DVD makes perfect sense. Because the clips are just fun to watch over and over again and are easy to watch here in one piece without interruption. The wonderfully weird humor, which lives from its deliberate exaggeration and the excellently observed and lovingly implemented behaviors of the cat, which probably everyone who owns a house cat will recognize, make the new clips of Simon's Cat so charming and worth watching. So if you can not get enough of the most successful cat in the world, you can safely access here. Recommended!
Picture + Sound: The simply drawn cartoons are absolutely flawlessly realized visually, the picture is very clean and pleasantly sharp. The audio is very restrained, consisting of minor sound effects and, of course, the meowing of Simon's cat when he asks for his food. Good!
Extras: As a bonus, the DVD has four bonus featurettes to offer in addition to the 23 clips. In the first one Simon tells the story how Simon`s Cat came to be (ca. 3:26 min.). After that the fans can look over his shoulder while he is drawing (ca. 3 min.). Afterwards there is a visit to the vet, where Tofield also got some inspiration for his clips (ca. 3:42 min.). And finally, for some recent films, he talks about how he came up with the ideas for their stories (approx. 6:50 min.). All four bonus clips are absolutely worth watching for fans!
Conclusion: Once again, the second edition of The Best of Simon`s Cat makes clear in an amusing, charming and extremely endearing way where the great popularity of probably the hungriest cat since Garfield comes from. The DVD has 23 films to offer and also offers four bonus clips as additional material. All in all, fans get an hour of wonderful entertainment for little money. For this there is a very clear meow (Translated: absolutely recommendable!)
