★★★★★ · The Educational Film:Three Litlle Kittens · Anatoli Tsinovoy · 2003-03-18

I think that thefilm accuratly shows how kittens grow up and what they are taught by their mother,but there are a couple of things that are kind of silly,A.the kittens go to work B.the name of the mother cat is "Mother Cat" C.the dog vdoes'nt attack the cat and kittens (not really goofy because the the dog might of been trained not to attack cats). But i still like the film,

Many will find the narration cloying, even irritating...Why not import the film to Winxp Movie Maker. There you can MUTE the audio track.

Also to those who appreciate the idyllic small town life that is very rare today

If you like cats, you'll enjoy this film. Despite being produced in the late 1930's, the quality of the photography and sound is excellent. The footage of the confrontation between the dog and one of the kittens is especially fun to watch.

Everyone loves cat videos, so no doubt kids in the 1930s ate this up. The kittens are cute. The film glosses over that farmers drowned cats so they wouldn't be overrun with them. Today, it's unthinkable to suburban people because cats are considered pets. What was "mother cat" called before it was a mother? Dialogue and sound effects (cat and dog noises) are looped.
