I saw this movie in eighth grade while studying immigration. We didn't get very far in the movie but it drove me bonkers that a classmate mistakenly believed the lie that there are no cats in America. I live in America and my only pet is a cat. :)
My parents might not be the best parents in the world, but the one thing I will forever be thankful is that they bought the cassette tape of this movie's soundtrack, even if I didn't understand English at all since I was only 4 years old, I still listened to it all the time as soon as I learned how to operate the player, until the tape eventually degaussed; I still have it on my shelf. Now that I can not only understand English but a bit of many other languages, this song hits very differently!! Thank you, Mr. Horner, for making my childhood so colorful.
@@rae-raetheturtledemon. Well, actually, he was originally a bear during the ages of the Alice Comedies and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but once Mickey entered the scene, he was turned into a cat.
One time in 6th grade our math teacher was absent and there was no substitute so an 8th grade world history teacher took us to her class room and we watched this movie until either our math teacher came or it was time for our next class
This is almost identical to A Rumor In St. Petersburg from Anastasia. Also it's a big lie because there are cats everywhere in America. In fact, there's a Barney song that mentions cats being in the jungle & in the city.
Won't it be nice when we get to The Sahara Desert, where we don't have to worry about coronaviruses anymore? There are no coronaviruses in The Sahara Desert, but back home in Father America.
Nya, but you have to deal with the Moroccan government invading another country. I'd say that's worse than the coronavirus. Believe me, I live in the Canary Islands and I know how terrible times are for our neighbors >.
Russians were escaping Cossaks. Italians were escaping the mafia. Irish dude is just heartbroken, no word of English oppression or potato famine, weird.
When I heard this song again, I realized that was a common misconception, Papa Mouskawitz said there are no cats in America but he was wrong. Cats are everywhere, they're an invasive species all because we supported the cat population. Our love for cats are the dangerous reasons why most birds go extinct because of cats.
That is the reality of life sadly. but it is far more hopeful than what people give it. Life is just simply not designed to be easy and it is kind of a harsh balance of reality.
