Directed by: Jim Henson

Synopsis: A stylistic animated short by Muppets creator Jim Henson shows a cat chasing a mouse set to jazz music.

Cartoon Cat: This short runs just over a minute and is very simplistic but brilliant at the same time. The plot only entails a cat chasing a mouse.

The artistic way the cat and mouse are drawn, interacting on a dark, abstract background, is fascinating.

It’s really clear from this short alone what a fanciful mind Jim Henson possessed.

Final Mewsings: Cats are great subjects for artistic genius.
