Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Stop-motion short follow up to the animated feature film Frankenweenie finds Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) screening one of his homemade movies.

Cartoon Cat: Weird Girl’s white Persian cat Mr. Whiskers makes an appearance in Victor’s movie as one of the invading flying saucer pilots, although the cat seems quite uninterested in the proceedings.

That is until Sparky knocks down the cardboard backdrop and actually goes after the cat, who tears around the set.
