It kinda does have a similar look.

I was allowed to sleep with the lights on, however, just to be safe.
So when I recently captured some video of our cat Opie walking on my model railroad it inspired me to do a parody, in a Calvin and Hobbes style, of the trailer from the movie.
My town survived the assault with minimal damage and hopefully this will be a one time event, but I’m afraid that now that our cat has “tasted” the thrill of marauding ….
See the trailer parody here:https://vimeo.com/114070835

Mainly the new york bit, and that bit where it attacks the boat.
