DVD update! The DVD and Blu-Ray discs in the U.S. became available in early August 2016, distributed by Universal. (Available on Amazon). It has the original French audio and the English dub, which I haven't heard yet, plus subtitles in English and French.
The Canadian DVD and Blu-Ray discs are from Mongrel Media. They also do business as Metropole Films in Quebec, where they sell the film under its original French title - the packaging is French but the disc is essentially identical in content. (Amazon page). The DVD has the original French audio and the English dub - but no English subtitles. I have no idea what the Blu-Ray release has on it, subtitle-wise, but I am not filled with confidence.
So I've paid extra shipping to get a copy of the U.S. DVD, and will give my feedback on the English dub and subtitling once I have the chance!
There is indeed more anthropomorphism in this animated film than the cat sidekick, but discussing it would be to spoil a good chunk of the plot. I don't know if any of the online streaming services carry the film (Hulu, Netflix, etc).
