The Cat’s Out
0 views
The family cat, out for the night, stalks and catches a bird singing atop the weathervane, but it flies off, pulling the cat and weathervane down and knocking the cat out. The cat has a vision of giant birds, lacking the tailfeathers he pulled out, tormenting him, and soon, everything in the autumn landscape is animated and scary.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
A Silly Symphony that turns into a full nightmare in its second half — an unconscious cat pursued through a distorted landscape. The Symphonies were the studio's licence to be strange, and the dream shorts are where they took it furthest.
The dream sequence, with giant birds hunting the cat, is genuinely eerie.
