Three Little Kittens (bizarre 1933 Van Beuren cartoon classic) 

I’m 75 and rediscovering beauty of animation in 30s & 40s. The series Happy Harmonies, Silly Symphonies are especially great. For lovers of Fantasia, I highly recommend.

Can imagine a Cuphead boss inspired by the rat

Hi huggybobo

Joan Hill i think they are

No, that’s thumbs up.

john landis You should see the little king series. That shit is bizarre AF

Also the Fleischer cartoons of the time, they're really wild!

Rough on Rats = an arsenic-based rat poison sold for many decades.

Yeah, kids can like that stuff. Read uncensored Bros. Grimm fairy tales sometime. Ogden Nash: *Don’t Cry, Darling, It’s Blood All Right* Whenever poets want to give you the idea that something is particularly meek and mild, They compare it to a child, Thereby proving that though poets with poetry may be rife They don’t know the facts of life. If of compassion you desire either a tittle or a jot, Don’t try to get it from a tot. Hard-boiled, sophisticated adults like me and you May enjoy ourselves thoroughly with Little Women and Winnie-the-Pooh, But innocent infants these titles from their reading course eliminate As soon as they discover that it was honey and nuts and mashed potatoes instead of human flesh that Winnie-the-Pooh and Little Women ate. Innocent infants have no use for fables about rabbits or donkeys or tortoises or porpoises, What they want is something with plenty of well-mutilated corpoises. Not on legends of how the rose came to be a rose instead of a petunia is their fancy fed, But on the inside story of how somebody’s bones got ground up to make somebody else’s bread. They go to sleep listening to the story of the little beggarmaid who got to be queen by being kind to the bees and the birds, But they’re all eyes and ears the minute they suspect a wolf or a giant is going to tear some poor woodcutter into quarters and thirds. It really doesn’t take much to fill their cup; All they want is for somebody to be eaten up. Therefore I say unto you, all you poets who are so crazy about meek and mild little children and their angelic air, If you are sincere and really want to please them, why just go out and get yourselves devoured by a bear

Right 💨♓

They were just playing ( ignoring the whole cat and mouse thing). The rat then tried to slice one of them alive. No wonder he got it.

The kittens didn't know there was in fact a big nasty rat behind that "string".

I think those are their thumbs 👍

I hate that little bastard Jerry. The rodent gets away with everything.

That’s from ppg name something else

Formerly 'gay' would be used as a synonym of happy, joyful, enthusiastic.

That’s just you.
