This review contains a Cartoonish Kitty Carnage Warning!
Synopsis: This Disney short animated film was created as a means to teach the importance of using reason over emotions in relation to World War II propaganda.
Cartoon Cat: At the beginning of the film we are introduced to a toddler named Junior and the infant caveman which represents emotion in his brain. The caveman spots a black and white cat sleeping peacefully in a chair.
Emotion encourages Junior to pull the cat’s tail and the infant complies. The poor cat flies up from the seat with a yowl before running out of the room and tumbling down some stairs.
Final Mewsings: Both emotion and reason should never want to hurt cats!
