Synopsis
The story of a cat who, legend has it, longs to become human.
2001 Directed by Robert Morgan
The story of a cat who, legend has it, longs to become human.
somatic echolalia!
& i like this cat even though it has human hands. i also have sort of come to terms with the fact that if my cats were bigger they would for sure eat me or disembowel me for no reason
we seem to culturally tolerate their barbarian qualities sheerly for their mammalian fluffiness when it is just a ruse to hide that they are actually beautiful alien murder monsters who just like looking pretty for themselves (i admire this v much).
but cats also get scared of loud sounds and are precious babies who don't know any better and it's not their fault they are basically serial killer mercenaries we housed to protect grain.
i love everything about cats.
maybe we tolerate it precisely because cats don't harbor ambitions to literally steal our body parts and instead are mostly concerned with string and sleeping and also they sometimes let us touch their floof tummies. and that is just good.
what up letterboxd it's saturday nite and im hittin the bong & watchin a bunch of creepy short films . hope everyone is having a good nite or day dependin on ur time zone i guess
love u all

At only 4 minutes, Robert Morgan short manages to disturb audiences with its nightmarish fueled imagery that easily could outbeat the buttholes designs of Cats. The Kafkian tale of a cat who wishes to become human is as horrifying as it sounds. The cinematography enhances these elements as well, also giving the movie almost a fairytale vibe.
All in all, despite its greatness with its visuals, its short runtime plays against the short as you are left with both the desire to know more as the whole thing feels very incomplete. Seriously, I just checked one email right away and the whole thing was already done. 8 more minutes at least would have made a major difference.

A genuinely creepy horror short that’s very imaginative and well executed. The style is dynamic and uncanny, with a twisted narrative unfurling at great pace.
Very well put together. Very memorable. Very impressive.

That cat sure did....have hands. This is fun and under 5 minutes. I will in fact think about my cats differently moving forward.
Possibly the most disturbing 4 minutes of my life. Thank you for this GdT. Now I won’t ever look at cats the same way ever again. All my horror fans out there, go to YouTube and watch this beautiful 4 minute nightmare.
Side Note: To all my friends on here, I will be going on a much needed vacation for three days. If you don’t see any reviews from me that is why. Once I get back I will backtrack your all’s reviews. Be safe everyone and I’m looking forward to reading your all’s reviews when I get back. Cheers everyone.
At only 3 and a half minute runtime to be exact, this short film is more effective in its approach than most feature length films. The dark story (which I hear is original and inspired by a recurring nightmare that the director Robert Morgan's sister had when they were children) felt like a twisted fairy tale from ancient folklore.
Its rapid pace editing gave the film a creepy visual aspect and the animation sequences looked more computer generated than stop motion but it was done very well and very creepy. The ending caught me off guard until just a moment before the big reveal but still it remained effective and extremely impressive way to top the whole story off. Such a well done short.

Bad kitty! Creepy kitty. Meow meow meow. I will be keeping a vigilant eye on my cats' paws from here on out.
If Jan Svankmajer was composed of Thing-like pseudopodia and he ate with tendrils like moldy California Raisins commercials on lonely befogged moors if the moors were a hole in the ground with tendrils and the tendrils from the hole and the tendrils from Jan Svankmajer intertwined and digested the California Raisin commercials on the lonely befogged moors which was a hole in the ground it would be like this.
One of my favorite little 21st century ghost stories on film, a macabre little mix of stop-motion animation and camera FX that tells a simple, and yet completely unsettling seasonal tale--a great way to get into that October spirit.
Knappe 4 Minuten, die einfach fantastisch sind. Die Idee ist innovativ und super umgesetzt.

Just don't call him "Handicat." He can do everything you and I can do +1. With at least 9 lives to do it, he's very handi-cat-pa-ble.
What in the horrific hell? This short is one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen
