Synopsis

Oggy, an anthropomorphic cat, would prefer to spend his days watching television and eating, but is continuously pestered by three roaches: Joey, Marky and Dee Dee. The cockroaches' slapstick mischief ranges from plundering Oggy's refrigerator to hijacking the train he just boarded. In many situations Oggy is also helped by Jack, who is more violent and short-tempered than him and is also annoyed by the cockroaches. Bob, a short-tempered bulldog, also appears in the show, and is Oggy's neighbor.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
danwolters Oggy & the Cockroaches is awesome. It does what so few other cartoons dared to do since the 50s - to not have any speech at all, only sound effects and music. Where other cartoons take their audience for total morons, Oggy just keeps it stupid at all times - yet keeps YOU thinking. It assumes you know a wide span of general every-day subjects, and some degree of science - just so that you can know how audaciously the laws of said things are constantly broken. There in lies the charm and humor of this show! This being said, this is a show with sometimes subtle, yet highly adult humor. (SPOILER): There is one episode where Oggy finds an ancient golden lever on his veggie plot. He pulls the lever and up grows a tall mountain with a cave at its summit. In the cave lives a yeti with his very own discotech complete with mirror ball - and he invites Oggy to party with him, subsequently giving Oggy a strip tease show on the dance floor. (END OF SPOILER) The show is made up of 3 short stories per episode. It works according to the tried and true "Tom & Jerry" concept. Oggy lives in the house, and the 3 cockroaches do their best to mooch off his food, cause trouble, and just to make his life a living hell. As if this wasn't enough, Oggy's "buddy" Jack (another cat) also comes and goes out of his house as if he owns the place. Oggy's neighbor is a huge bulldog also with very little regard for Oggy's happiness.Unlike Tom & Jerry, where Jerry the mouse is the one you usually root for, Oggy has nobody to root for. Most times everyone involved deserve everything that's coming to them, and this makes every ending unpredictable.All in all - Oggy & the Cockroaches is an unusual little gem that hasn't got as much attention it deserves. Personally I don't know many people who've even heard of the short-run show. A modern, yet classic cartoon.
Angel Meiru And yes, this is coming from a big fan of international animation. Like America, in any country, you'll run into treasure as well as junk and well, "Oggy and the Cockroaches" is just plain junk. Basically, it is about a paranoid cat dealing with three retard cockroaches and get into antics that totally rip off old Warner Bros. Cartoons and MGM cartoons, only it is not funny, just gross and disgusting (ex. One of the cockroaches passes gas to defend himself!). If you want good and original Euro-Animation, search harder! "Oggy and the Cockroaches" is just a waste of time and life. I bet some of the Warner Bros. animators are just spinning in their graves restlessly.
Greencow_87 What more can i say. This serie is great! I love it and i hope it will be able to find on DVD. If not, we will have to download episodes via Imesh, Kaaza or other filesharing programs. Dont want to destroy for the creators, but if its not going to be released on video or DVD, youll have to use your Kaaza
Melkor There's nothing like these series! Children will like it, but adults will just love it! Quite some time ago I thought it was impossible to get up in the mornings - but now, with Oggy on TV every morning, I actually find it refreshing to get up early! One can never get enough of the way Oggy and the Cockroaches fight one another. It's hilarious!
