Dom (The Cat's House) is an award-winning 1958 animated Russian short film directed by Leonid Amalrik about two poor homeless kittens who seek shelter with the wealthy cat "aunt" who has just built a fancy new house. When her home burns down she learns first-hand what it's like to be homeless and to be refused shelter. A sweet story.

Charming story.
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too :)
DeleteThis is a great film, I enjoyed it. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI thought when I watched it that it would be good around Thanksgiving. Sometimes we don't know what want is until it happens to us.
DeleteHmm. I didn't get to watch this yet but I find it interesting it came out in 1958. Do you think any of it has to do with the fact that Poland was part of the Communist block then? I guess I will need to go watch it to see. happy new week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm editing the post to correct it. The director was Russian and lived in Moscow. I'm not sure how I managed to get Poland in there... My poor brain lol I think I must've been looking at two different films that day and confused them when I wrote this post.
DeleteIf only all the homeless could find some caring kittens to love and find a way to live together. That house they built together turned out amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to know how many homeless people there are, especially in this cold weather :( I admit I'm not inviting them to live with me, but I'd certainly support a tax structure that prioritized the "life" part of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
DeleteA moral tale for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteWas kind of cute!
They did a good job of pulling my heartstrings :)
