I just went on sky to look at the Toy Story tickets and saw Cats & Dogs listed for 1st August offering upto 4 tickets. Has anyone managed to book tickets for this or is it not live yet? Does anyone know the movie password? I have tried several variations but no luck
I pay no reverence to Kitty Galore….muhahaha….
Have you tried kitty yet?
Thanks to Belly76 for posting KITTY on the free films board, just got tickets for Trafford Centre, Doh never tried the most obvious code, tried loads with 3D in them never tried without.
Here it is:

Please! Change the spelling of this thread.
Lol
I hadn’t noticed thanks for letting me know – changed now.

cute! 
Is this the link to get tickets or is it a sky offering? Sorry, but am a little confused as there is no link posted on Free Films!
Its a Sky one if you use the Toy Story link you should be able to get to it on the drop down menu, thats how I found it in the first place, Password KITTY.
Now I know why there’s no central london screening, because the premiere is at an outdoor screening in Holland Park. Sky is running a competition to win tickets for that. Maybe this is one of those premiere simulcast, so you lucky people at the other screenings will get to see dogs and cats walking up the red carpet for an hour! haha…..
Just use the same link as TS3 Beate. It’s in the dropdown menu.
No London locationt though.
Couldn’t get the competition link to work for me on the sky page.
Does it work for anyone else?
An outdoor screening? What if it’s raining cats and dogs?
Thats probably what they want…
No central London screening for us humans but they had this one for dogs at the Empire !

There are currently tickets showing for Kingston-upon-Thames via the Sky booking page as of 6:10pm 26/07. And 2 tickets for Bath.
There are four tickets available at Uxbridge for this morning’s screening – be quick
Watched this film this morning in Cardiff. My first 3D film. The short film at the start was really good in 3D, there wasn’t quite so much 3D in the Cats and Dogs film itself, but it was still pretty impressive. I did enjoy the film and my husband did too. A predictable ending but lots of cute animals to watch.
We just came back from watching the film in Uxbridge, we all throughly enjoyed it. I thought ‘Hannibal’ cat was great, children did not understand that part, as they have not seen Silence of the Lambs.
The cinema was about 90% full and I thought the younger children there were really well behaved.
I thought the Hannibal cat was funny too. Wonder if they’ll do another prequel using him as the main baddie!
I think they may well do Splodgy and I think it would be extremely funny ! Maybe it would need to be aimed at ‘the older child’ as it could be quite vicious !!!!!
When is a free screening not a free screening? When you’re told by cinema staff at the Odeon Kingston that you have to buy the 3D glasses for £1. Bleeding cheek! I could have been a bit more argumentative but left it at a slightly incredulous ‘But it’s a FREE screening!’. Did this happen at all the other screenings?
Any way as for the film it was fairly enjoyable. Not as bad as I expected it to be but not great either. A fair few decent gags and an awful lot of poor ones. A lot of the good stuff was completely lost on the kids, the Bond movie in-jokes including a decent credit sequence with Shirley Bassey doing a cover of Pink’s ‘Get this Party Started’ and Roger Moore voicing a cat called Tab Lazenby. And as mentioned already a ‘Silence of the Lambs’ gag and a scene where a bunch of cats are ‘high’ on cat-nip. Of course there was plenty of physical humour to keep the kids happy though.
Another plus was some of it’s voice cast. Though James Marsden and Christina Applegate where suitably bland and anonymous as the main dog and cat characters, there was some fantastic stuff from Bette Midler as the villain Kitty Galore, Nick Nolte as the gruff Butch, the already mentioned Roger Moore and Sean Hayes reprising his wonderfully over the top role from the first movie as Mr Tinkles. Best of all for me was Wallace Shawn as one of Kitty Galore’s sidekicks. It always tickles me when the heavyweight intellectual playwright makes an appearance in movies like this, though the slightly creepy cat he voices is unlikely to have the lasting impact of his Rex from the Toy Story movies.
The human cast was less memorable. Chris O’Donnell has the look of a man wondering what the hell he’s doing in a role like this. After a laughable introductory scene where he’s presented as a tough guy (seriously, the guy looks like he’d cry if he got a paper cut), he spends the rest of the movie wandering around looking for his lost dog (or possibly his career). Jack McBrayer is a little better as Chuck the Magnificent, Kitty Galore’s owner, but isn’t given a great deal to work with so just mugs a lot.
The special effects are a pretty mixed bag too. Some really good, some incredibly shoddy. The 3D wasn’t exactly up to much either, only occasionally effective.
Overall this was a watchable enough film. Great for undemanding kids, with enough in-jokes to keep adults going.
The Looney Tunes short beforehand was good fun too, even if it did make me a bit nostalgic for the simpler 2D pleasures of Chuck Jones.
That is bloody cheeky and shouldn’t happen at a free screening. I have been to plenty free 3D screenings and they always throw the glasses in as well! If I was you I would complain, especially as you probably, like the rest of us, have some 3D glasses at home from former screenings which you could have brought along if you’d known!
I do actually. But I’ll know better in the future. As for the complaining, I’ll use the Sky feedback form for that.
Which cinema was it? I would complain to them as well. I am a great believer in complaints.
They did try to charge at the Trafford Centre for the glasses but a lady complained then the manager sorted it out and the attendant did go in and find the people who had paid to give them a refund.
Enjoyed the film especially the Hannibal character 6/10
I agree with Beate, Kevin. I would do the same. They shouldn’t have charged for that as it’s part of the screening.
If it were a case you were redeeming free tickets then yes you are liable to pay for the glasses but in this instance it should have been included. It’s not your fault you required additional equipment to watch the film.
Saw this morning at Derby, thought it was really brilliant, we were encouraged by an advert to keep our FREE glasses for the next 3D film showing in an Odeon. So you know i will be using them for Step up 3D at Cineworld on Thursday. Liked the Hannibal cat too and liked the soundtrack sung by good old Dame Shirley Bassey, how very Bond-y. I really good entertaining film for all the family
Kingston. If it didn’t happen at every other cinema that will give me something to complain about too.
You probably encountered a jobsworth who confused the rules with redeeming a voucher for a normal screening where you do indeed still have to pay for the 3D glasses. I had that happen to me once.
At Uxbridge, the glasses were given freely. We did not have to ask for them. The guy who was taking the tickets handed the glasses in return and with a smile on his face !
No probs with glasses at Liverpool either – though we had taken our own from previous screening of How to train your Dragon just in case! Thought it was entertaining for kids on a wet holiday morning and enough aimed at adults/teens to keep us entertained too. Not sure about 3D though – I don’t think it really added anything to the film.
Saw this today at Westerhailes, Edinburgh. A queue of us waiting on the doors opening and not allowed in until 10.10am which was unusual for them. Free glasses handed out as you went in.
Very busy with a lot of kids but mostly well behaved.
The film was very good but some of it was way above the kids heads – the silence of lambs etc.
Enjoyed the "roadrunner" cartoon at the start. Looks like the follow up film will be the "Hannibal "cat. 7/10
Free 3D glasses at Leeds/Bradford, although I did hear some people saying they’d been charged £1.00 and assumed it was someone trying to blag money from their parents! Not full – about 60% – so still plenty of room for the few latercomers… I was fooled by the extra film and was about to set out to complain that they were showing the wrong film ’til I realised it was in 3D and Looney Tunes!
Entertaining way to start a Sunday – enjoyed the nods to all the James Bond films – especially the white mouse!
I saw it at kingston aswell Kevin and yes they did try and get me to pay aswell but i refused and another lady spoke ot the manager and in the end he gave them out free to everyone and said he will take it up with sky. I know some people went back and got there money back showing their voucher as proof. Why would i pay a £1 to use them, as u have to give them back to get a voucher for a discount on them next time!!!!!!
anyway back to the film, i loved it so did the kids and it paid hommage to 2 of my favourite films silence of the lambs and terminator.
a big 9 out of 10 from us
The manager could have let those already in the cinema who had paid for the glasses know this before the film started.
You don’t have to give the glasses back though. You just hold on to them and bring them with you the next time you go and see a 3D film. And the ticket will be slightly cheaper. Here’s what it says on the Odeon website:
Save money – and the environment – with 3D glasses you can use again.
There are loads of awesome 3D films coming in 2010 – and we`ve found a way you can watch them and save money too.
Now, the first time you watch a 3D film at ODEON you`ll buy your very own 3D glasses for just £1 and
pay a lower price for your ticket.
Instead of throwing away your 3D glasses at the end, hang on to them and bring them to ODEON next time you want
to watch a 3D film.
Not only will you save money after the second 3D film you watch, you`ll be helping the environment by reusing your
glasses too.
I think this is a great idea and obviously environmentally friendly. I just don’t think it should apply to a free screening.
They did try to charge at the Trafford Centre for the glasses but a lady complained then the manager sorted it out and the attendant did go in and find the people who had paid to give them a refund.
Enjoyed the film especially the Hannibal character 6/10
Definitely agree you shouldn’t have to pay for glasses at a free screening.
If they’d asked you to bring a pair along, then maybe that would be different, but they didn’t.
I was at the Trafford Centre, so thanks to the lady who complained before we arrived – there was no trouble by the time we went in.
Film was ok, glad to hear most of the children enjoyed it, because I thought there were lots and lots of Bond and other movie references.
Enjoyed Road Runner at the start (although for a moment I thought I was in the wrong screening, until I saw the Warner Bros logo)
Saw it at Southampton Odeon which was full and a great film for all the family. The glasses were free which was an added bonus.
I saw this at Trafford and really enjoyed it. The kids preferred it over Toy Story 3 as well. 9/10 from me. I was the lady who complained about the glasses, as no way I was going to fork out £5 for them for all of us, as defeats the object of it being a free screening. I think they have only starting charging for them recently, and the staff don’t know what they are doing in regards to the free screening policy.
Well done you saved a lot of people a lot of hassle, I was at the back of the queue so could only see the top of your head and the man keep on going to see the manager; shame I didn’t know who you were otherwise I would have said hi.
I saw this at Wester Hailes, Edinburgh yesterday.
We really enjoyed the Road Runner cartoon that was screened, especially after having been on holiday last year to coyote country made it even more hilarious! The road runners we saw were brown though!
Cats and Dogs 3D. I take it this is another make a quick buck and digitally change it to 3D rather than film it in 3D as other than the starting credits I really didn’t see any real 3D benefits. Thankfully we were given the glasses free.
As a non cat person, I took an instant dislike to all the cats and the hairless Kitty Galore was like something from a horror film to me. I know some people like cats like that but it really did turn my stomach.
Chris O’Donnel did look like he wanted to be anywhere but in that film and I couldn’t really blame him.
The wee kiddies seemed to enjoy it.
I enjoyed the fact it was only an hour and half.
Hannibal was by far the best charachter and that was because they’d stolen him from another film!
Sorry not my kind of thing and I usually love kids films.
3/10 from me.
Apparently it was actually shot in 3D not converted. Not that you could tell half the time. A lot of it seemed pretty flat.
Saw this yesterday in Liverpool. Thought it was pretty poor and find it hard to believe that it was actually shot in 3D and wasnt a cheap convert. There really wasnt much to see in 3D. Got a little bored half way through. Having said that, the children in the cinema seemed to enjoy it. Rating 3/10.
I saw this with son & daughter last Sunday, we did get the glasses thrown in, it was a nice family film, but I wasn’t blown away by it. My son (7) really enjoyed it, my daughter (6) got a bit bored and asked to go home about 3/4 way through.
I agree with the post above really wasn’t very much to see in 3D, however the Road Runner cartoon on the otherhand was fantastic!!
