Review:
‘Myszka i kotek’ is a very beautiful example of the cartoon modern style of the 1950s.
The film is a very playful tale of a real mouse chased by a line drawing kitten, which has jumped from a postcard. During the chase the cat repeatedly dissolves into a line only, and the animators play with the fact that the animal is outline only.
Both cat and mouse are pleasantly designed and very well animated, but it’s the gorgeous background art that draws the main attention. Every single panel is a beauty, depicting a nightly room in bold designs, verging on the abstract. The main background color is black, and the light blue outline of the kitten reads very well against the background art.
In short, ‘Myszka i kotek’ is a Polish little gem that deserves to be better known.
Watch ‘Myszka i kotek’ yourself and tell me what you think:
‘Myszka i kotek’ is available on the DVD set ‘Anthology of Polish Children’s Animation’
