Synopsis

If you're getting bored of all the similar-looking 3D animation on offer, you may well enjoy this children's book style jaunt across the rooftops of Paris with Dino the cat. By day he is a pet to 7-year-old Zoe and her police officer mum; by night he is an assistant to big-hearted burglar, Nico. One night Zoe decides to follow Dino, and the pair become tangled up in a local mafia conspiracy.
