There are videos that will make you laugh. Videos that will make you cry. Videos that will make you think. Yes, this will be loved by all cat lovers... oh and my cat's eyes were transfixed to my screener. Go to Full Review

Apart from being cute and cuddly, cats also cause big problems...controlling their numbers is a huge issue given how many indigenous creatures cats kill and feed on. What’s needed are more cat detector vans. Go to Full Review

robert w Sep 4, 2026 Very fun exactly as advertised See more Michael S @DetroitCineaste Aug 20, 2026 As was the case with prior entries in this series, CatVideoFest 2026 offers up another thoroughly enjoyable compilation of cat videos. The movie is a celebration of all things cat, and as such is unquestionably perfect. Highly recommended. detroitcineaste See more Unexpetedly D @RT99924783 Aug 16, 2026 I didn’t think it was possible to mess up a collection of cat videos, but this felt very close to it. I was shocked that this collection of videos ‘curated’ for the big screen were mostly shot on profile view! I would assume this would be a non starter for choosing what videos to include. Some of the editing was off (jump cuts and some scenes dragged). Including social media handles text on so many of the videos felt like I was scrolling social media, but just bigger. I imagine that licensing is a challenge for this production but the end product felt very amateur hour. Several of the artistic shorts were compelling and maybe that is a strength that future iterations can build on. But with such a heavy reliance on content that feels so everyday, there needs to be a lot more consideration to elevate it for the big screen (and the real cost of entry to a theater). Also, there seems to be some confusion about funding going to cat charities. This is not always the case. See website. See more Andrew C @RT00523249 Aug 13, 2026 Previous years were funnier because they contained real clips from real people's cats. They've been adding more and more "filler" now, e.g. long, pretty-mid, animated cat stories. These really detract from the experience. Unfortunate to see the quality drop. Probably the last time we see CatVideoFest as a family. See more Wendy F @HawksGirl2026 Aug 10, 2026 What's not to love about 70 minutes of cat videos on a movie screen! It's an amazing collection that the whole family (yes, even teens!!!) will love. A portion of the proceeds go to local cat charities, which is even better. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Aug 6, 2026 The worldwide gross is $1,191,143.00. See more Read all reviews
