English Translation: Diary

Directed by: Nedeljko Dragić

Synopsis: A Yugoslavian stream of consciousness animated short in which a man walks through life, morphing into various versions of himself surrounded by the excesses of a modern world.

Cartoon Cat: In one scene a mouse is attending a party filled with rich, important people. The scene cuts to a lavish house where a cat is reclining in front of a fireplace.

The cat looks at his watch and reacts with shock, realizing he is late to the party.

In the next scene the cat is standing beside the mouse at the party.

The mouse suddenly leaps at the cat and kisses him. The cat recoils before running away.

During the rest of the short the mouse can be seen still chasing after the cat in a kind of reverse take on the Tom and Jerry cartoons and the exact opposite of Krazy Kat and Ignatz.

Final Mewsings: Cats don’t know what to do when mice make advances.
