What they share
Both films are directed by Mark Dindal, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Emperor's New Groove, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Cats Don't Dance is
A cartoon about a cat doing what so many have tried. Danny leaves his small town for 1930s Hollywood, hoping to find fame and fortune as a song-and-dance man. It's a kids' film that gestures towards the darker side of show business without dwelling on it.
