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/

ReplyDeleteMy brother is unstuck in time.
ReplyDeletePlease explain -- Why does S. resist furry when it's so plain that he's already caught?
ReplyDeleteHe seems like he is ambivalent about his excellent cartooning skills. He does a lot of painting, and of course he wants to sculpt. I don't think he likes what he sees in the furry movement, although he likes all well done comics and such. In other words his anthro work is just one shell in the gun among many others.
ReplyDeleteAh, I see -- Well keep working on him. It's good to see his work here!
