AniFab Official Selections '21

The King o' the Cats - Animated Short - Canada

1/12/2021

PictureDirector Deb Ethier
The weird, odd, funny and sometimes even a tad scary world of old folk tales! This film, based on an English tale collected in the late 19th century by folklorist Joseph Jacobs, is complete with strange encounters, otherworldly beings and a surprise ending. You can almost hear it being told by the fireside!

​"King o' the Cats" (the folk tale) both baffled and intrigued me as a child. It had been tucked away in the back of my memories for decades until I rediscovered it recently and re-told it here through animation.

I have at various times in my life been an artist, musician, writer, educator, history and vintage film buff, puppet maker and children's theatre director, finally tying them all together through animated films.

AniFab judge's aggregate score was 8.2 out of 10 with one judge writing, "what a lovely tale. A marvelous example of a fitting story depicting cats. A joy to watch, and it will be a joy to share with the AniFab audience. Well done!"
