To recognize and honor the fact that two National Film Board of Canada produced animated shorts were up for the Oscar this year I figure this Short Film Saturday Should honor one of the great animated films ever produced, an NFB production from 1988 entitled The Cat Came Back. It too was nominated for an Oscar and I also seem to remember that Cartoon Network way back when they, you know, showed cartoons included it in its all-time top 10 amidst the titans of animation like the Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and so forth in terms of a single animated short. I can’t really argue against that. Anyway you slice this thing it’s great. Click the link below and enjoy!
