The storyline is about two cats, Kate and Daphne, that wander into Jane's science lab, where they are not supposed to be. Even though there are signs up saying, "No Cats Allowed," they go into the room and end up getting into mischief. All kinds of hilarious mix-ups and switches happen, and they have to figure out how to correct them before they get caught.
I love the animation. It's in black and white, except when D tips over a test tube in the lab, which changes K's fur colors to a weird pattern, then into a sunflower and then a rabbit. It's creative and the cutely entertaining. The characters are two cats, K and D, and they act just like young curious kids or cats. I love their quirky motions and facial expressions. They are always getting into things. The primary background is a small laboratory. It is small, but big enough for the two cats to get into trouble. The lab looks very realistic and includes things that you would need as a scientist such as beakers and chemicals. There is no dialogue for most of the film, except for the sound of a girl looking for the cats and calling to them. Otherwise, it's just a few meows from the cats. The music helps drive the film and gives it a fun, but calm and soothing tone. It drives the movie and helps the film stay interesting and keeps the viewers engaged. Alison Vega is the director, writer, producer and animator. She based this film on her experience with her pets and found a way to tell a very entertaining story that most people will relate to. One of the cutest transformations I saw in this film was when one of the cats became a sunflower. It is very charming because it almost looks like a cute cat costume that someone might put on their pet for Halloween.
The film's message is to follow the rules and not get into stuff that could get you in trouble. Younger kids and pets especially have a hard time following rules, such as not going into certain places, moving or touching things.
I give Switcho 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 10, plus adults. Anyone that loves cats will love this, and even many who are not fans. Reviewed by Tiana S. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
