How could you describe Game Show? Quirky is one one word, especially when it comes to the films main characters. Odd, whimsy are other words when the neighbourhood cats like a mix of Scott Pilgrim animation and video games. Very action packed, fun and very chaotic as well as full of energy plus Chen even throws in Kaiju! Game Show is not scared to slip into a darker tone reminding us, animation is for adults too.
