Films like The Rabbi's Cat.

The Rabbi's Cat (2011) reads as Warm, steady, measured animation / comedy, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
