Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)
Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in. But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away. In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka. https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw A dream of domestic bliss. https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything. https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs What is conspicuous is the lack of a father. I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft. In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/
