The poor cat; he's scared of rats and mice. He might be the only cat with that problem and it both starts and ends this somewhat-humorous and odd cartoon. The story is unusual, and it's recommended. No, it's not full of laughs but it's definitely different and certainly entertaining.
I remember this English folk tale from way back when I was a kid. I don't remember much of it, but I do know there was a real-life Richard Wittington who, I believe, was the mayor of London sometime around 1400 and this cat tale is based upon the adventures of he and his cat. (I may be wrong on this.) Anyway, this cartoon is about a little boy and his pet cat and how the cat winds up as a stowaway on a ship.
The cat winds up being in the middle of a couple of insane adventures that wind up making he and his young owner a rich person. It's a neat little cartoon and a lot of fun to watch. You can't help but love this cat! I watched this as part of the UB Iwerks collection of "lost cartoons" and it was the last cartoon on a long DVD full of animated shorts. It was a good way to end the disc.
