Info

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.

Oggy and the Cockroaches Audience Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Jesper Brun It recently struck me how similar this show is to the Tom and Jerry cartoons from back in the day. I still like and enjoy it frequently, it was a great pass-time when I spent evenings with my family when I was a kid. Today it sometimes feels like I'm watching a Warner Bros. knock-off, but it is still colourful and charming. If you like Tom & Jerry slapstick comedy, you should find this entertaining too.
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.
johan-olsson This is the best short-cartoons I ever seen! It´s raw and funny! Just hearing a conversation between Oggy and Jack always makes me scream of joy. Favourite episode must be Emergency Room, I can't stop laughing my hairy ass off! I want, no, I need this show on DVD!
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!
