'''''Felidae''''' is a controversial mystery animated movie that was released in Germany in 1994 by [[wikipedia:de:Michael Schaack|Michael Schaack]] and the animation studio Trickompany. The screenplay is based on the novel ''[[Felidae (novel)|Felidae]]'' and was co-written by the novel's author, [[Wikipedia:Akif Pirinçci|Akif Pirinçci]].<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109791 Felidae (1994)] on IMDB</ref>

==Adult nature==
This animated movie contains graphic scenes depicting animal abuse, violence, gore, and sexual intercourse between animals. In addition there are adult themes, strong language, brief use of alcohol and concepts such as [[Wikipedia:cult|cults]], [[Wikipedia:vivisection|vivisection]] laboratories, [[Wikipedia:Ancient Egypt|ancient Egyptian history]], [[Wikipedia:Evolution|evolutionary]] theories and a resemblance to the events of [[Wikipedia:The Holocaust|The Holocaust]] of [[Wikipedia:World War II|World War II]].

==Release==
Felidae was released theatrically in Germany (October 3rd, 1994), Switzerland (January 20th, 1995), Spain (August 29th, 1996), France (June 3rd, 2009)<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109791/releaseinfo Release dates for Felidae (1994)] on IMDB</ref>. {{fact}} It was released on PAL DVD region 2 with Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 surround sound for the original German audio and Dolby 2.0 for the English audio dub in Dolby 2.0. There are no subtitles. Extras (in German only) include DVD commentary, trailers and a "Making Of".<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/Felidae-NON-USA-FORMAT-PAL-Reg-2/dp/B000PS949U Felidae DVD] on amazon.com</ref>

The film was released in its English version in Australia only for a short time by RocVale Film. The film was to be released in UK/Ireland (English Europe) & USA/Canada (North America), but distribution was suspended for some reason that is particularly unknown.{{fact}}

The film was also released in Russia on VHS in the late '90s. Released by the company "EA", this version had Russian voices dubbed over English.

==English voice cast==
The film had an unreleased and uncredited English dub, which can only found on the original German DVD.

The English dub actors were uncredited.

In January 2019, one Behind the Voice Actors user (Millicent) pinpointed the English cast to London.

*Francis: Jeff Harding
*Gustav, Gregor Mendel: Marc Smith
*Bluebeard: Graham Parker
*Kong: Bob Sessions
*Joker: William Roberts
*Felicity: Tamsin Hollo
*Pascal: Peter Marinker
*Preterius: Don Fellows
*Isaiah: Ian Tyler
*Nhozemphtekh: Liza Ross

==Differences from the novel==
The film follows the story of the original novel very closely. The following is a list of major differences between the film and novel:

* Longer scenes and monologues are shortened in the film.
* In the book, Francis asks the Guardian of the Dead to the meeting, but in the film he doesn't.
* In the film, Francis and Blaubart (Bluebeard in the English release) read the book of the ancient Felidae, but in the book only Francis reads the book.
* In the novel, Francis discovers the journal of Doctor Julius Preterius. In the film, this becomes a video diary.
* In the film, Blaubart assists Francis in the final battle scene where he rescues Blaubart when he is attacked by Claudandus, but in the novel just Francis faces Claudandus in the final battle.
* The character of Blaubart is present far more often in the film than he is in the novel. This allows Francis to voice his thoughts aloud as he examines crime scenes and figures out the mystery.
* In the book, Francis sees Felicitas' (Felicity in he English release) 'can-opener'; but in the film, Felicitas' 'can-opener' is no where to be seen.
* The diary from which Francis learns of Professor Preterius's machinations is in written form in the book, but was updated to a video diary for the film.
* In the film, Blaubart is with Francis when they meet the 'Guardian of the Dead' (Jesaja); but in the novel, Francis is the only one who talks to the Guardian of the Dead.
* Blaubart is given extra lines and moments in the film, many of which are often a display of black comedy. It also justifies his increased screen time.
* In the book Claudandus spoke to Preterius with his mouth and claims it caused him great agony to do so; whereas in the film it is implied he spoke telepathically as his mouth does not move even though Preterius claims he is talking.
* The climatic fight between Francis and Claudandus ends with Francis slitting Claudandus's throat in the book; while in the film, Francis disembowels Claudandus's with his claws.
* The novel has an epilogue which ties up all of the loose ends of the plot. The film meanwhile doesn’t tie up all the loose ends and simply ends on a note of optimism.
* The one nightmare about Deep Purple slaughtering kittens from the novel is missing in the film.

==Anthropomorphism==
The feline’s ability to speak to one another is the major anthropomorphic aspect of the cats in both the film and the original novel on which the film is based. Some of the cats also engage in human activities such as participating in cults, operating computers and reading books. The novel has a deep sense of black humour and irony, as many of the cats have a negative view on the human race. Bluebeard for instance, refers to them as ‘can-openers,’ as that is all human are good for doing. The irony lies in how those human-hating cats behave so much like people. Indeed, the novel is symbolic of particular the acts committed by the [[Wikipedia:Nazi|Nazis]] during [[Wikipedia:The Holocaust|The Holocaust]]. Or to put it more generally, man’s cruelty against man.

==Trivia==

Production costed 15 million marks, setting a new record for the most expensive German animation project.<ref>[http://www.bcdb.com/cartoon/86007-Felidae.html Felidae (1994)] on BCDB</ref>

==Fictional character biography==
[[File:Rocket raccoon 01.jpg|right|thumb|170px|left|Cover to ''Rocket Raccoon'' #1. Cover art by Mike Mignola and Al Gordon.]]
Rocket Raccoon acts as the "Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant", an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so-called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship ''Rack 'n' Ruin'', and he and his first mate Wal Rus (a talking walrus) come from the planet Halfworld, in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld's chief law officer ("ranger") who protected the colony against various threats.<ref name="Hulk271">"Rocket Raccoon!" in ''The Incredible Hulk'' issue 271 (May 1982, Marvel Comics). Writer Bill Mantlo, penciller Sal Buscema.</ref>

At one point, Judson Jakes tried to steal the Halfworld Bible, but was thwarted by Rocket and the [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|Hulk]].<ref name="Hulk271" /> Later, Lord Dyvyne abducted Rocket's friend Lylla, and Jakes began the Toy War.<ref name="RRminiNo1">"Rocket Raccoon/Animal Crackers" in ''Rocket Raccoon'' issue 1 (May 1985, Marvel Comics).

It is also heavily implied that he has a case of obsessive compulsive disorder.<ref name="AnnCSL2">''Annihilation: Conquest - Star-Lord'' issue=2 (October 2007, Marvel Comics).

In reality, Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane; ''Doctor'' Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum, as their appearance would calm the inmates. The crises that Rocket half-remembered had been caused by the psychic supervillain the Star Thief, who had been admitted as an inmate and used his psychic powers to turn the inhabitants against each other. Rocket had turned the warders into a biological "key" to keep Star-Thief locked up, and deliberately altered his mind and left Halfworld so it could never be opened - but he was tricked into returning by the Thief, whose mind had escaped into the asylum after his host body died.<ref name="Annihilators3">"Wraithfire" in ''Annihilators'' issue 3 (July 2011, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Tan Eng Huat, inker Victor Olazaba</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
Rocket Raccoon possesses the normal attributes of an Earth raccoon, including speed (which has been additionally amplified by his training) an acute sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch. He is an accomplished starship pilot, an excellent marksman with the two laser pistols he carries as well as having an affinity for heavy weapons. He is also an excellent military tactician and leader, attributes that help him take charge of the Guardians of the Galaxy when Starlord is unavailable.
