It should be noted that this is one of Japan's earliest sound cartoons, if not the very earliest. It should also be noted that this isn't just normal hand-drawn animation, but made from cut-out pieces of paper. When considering you are watching animated paper, you can imagine the work & skill that went into creating these delicate pieces. Though a cheaper way of creating animation, you can definitely tell that it was lovingly made. Plus, it's just really darn cute. Who doesn't love singing and dancing cats? A must-see for cat lovers, animation and history nerds. No understanding of the Japanese necessary, thoughit helps a bit. :)
