There’s a Reason why Beckett has 10 Lives over his 9…

Some cats should not burn through all their chances at living it right that fast, but in 10 Lives, is that enough?

I’m glad the wait was not long to bring 10 Lives to North America. I knew about its UK debut and knew this was a movie I had to watch! This movie features a cat needing to learn how not to be selfish. Beckett (voiced by Mo Gilligan) has a lot to learn, and I’m glad he has a forever hope on Apple’s streaming service.

This news is exciting as the trailer shows an ambitious work about a young girl aspiring to be the world’s first female firefighter, much like how Disney’s Mulan wants to join a certain boy’s club of elite warriors. 

The tale is set in New York during the roaring twenties, and this time was especially tough when women had little rights. Women’s Suffrage was getting started, and for Georgia, the teen heroine, she not only has to deal with her daddy’s opinion but also has to be in disguise if she’s being recruited.
