dislike- in some moments the camera shook.

positive- when the music had a march like rhythm the artist did a good job matching that speed and momentum with art.

dislike- repetitive halfway into the show.

positive- music was somewhat catchy.

Enjoyment
For a kid i can see how they could appreciate the show. As for an adult i don't see the catch.

I watched out of curiosity, wondering how a music video could've had such a low rating score. I've come to the conclusion that it's score is probably due to not a whole bunch of people watching it. The video itself isn't that detailed, it's just the same reel of cats repeating throughout the song. The song however is one of the catchiest things I've ever heard. I give it a 5 because it isn't the best thing I've seen but it certainly wasn't the worst; just don't watch it under the influence. Although I've been somewhat entertained by this, after a minute in it gets ... weird. I promise, you'll thank me.

So, did you ever have a language teacher that played a song for you in a different language that you'd never heard before and the whole time, your face was stuck between 'I hope she can't tell I'm terrified' and 'Please help me'? That would be these three minutes of 'music'

Story: 4 It's about 44 cats singing. Weird that I've seen weirder, but still bizarre because well...it's 44 cats singing.

Art: 5 Honestly, for the time it was made, and the target audience, which is kids, it isn't bad. Nothing to write home about, but not bad.

Sound: 6 Good enough to get stuck ... in a kid's mind for a long time, yet not good enough to get through a random bout of self-imposed amnesia haha (which is what it will take to get rid of this song!)

Character: 4 Couldn't give it a 44 or 4.4 but I guess just representing one digit is enough right?

Enjoyment: 2 Watched it at night... couldn't get it out of my head for about an hour. Would recommend watching early in the morning before a long day.

Overall: 4 So, being as it's for kids, I would say that it did its job for the audience that it intended for it to be seen by. However, that's as far as I'd go, this one isn't following you into later years of interest. (Hopefully, right? deshou...? hahaha)
