Kitty-kitty. Kitty? Hey, that wasn't our deal! It was an ordinary summer day and two not the most intelligent dogs, languishing with boredom, as well as from grumble in their stomach, see two cats, a father and a son, who were returning from a walk from the store and carrying a piece of appetizing lamb. “Easy prey” – thought two hapless criminals and tried to commit the theft of the century, which they partially succeeded. Oh no, the heroes of this cartoon could not kidnap a lamb leg, but they managed to steal a small red kitten and, like any respectful kidnappers, the dogs decide to demand ransom in the form of a lamb leg. And all nothing, but a small and cute kitten turns out to be a real devil, who is happy and happy to arrange the last “fun days”.
It just so happened that many Soviet animators looked to Western cartoons, but not for the purpose of “catch-up and overtake”, but as a source of inspiration. As an example, the idea of “Tom and Jerry” was embodied in the wonderful Soviet animated film “Well, wait”, but the wolf and the hare behaved like living people and did not try to check what would happen if dynamite or barbed objects were used in relation to each other. However, the idea that a small child gives a cigarette to adults, and even more so to intruders, was in the air, thanks to which such a cartoon as “Ivashka from the Palace of Pioneers” appeared, where a smart guy gave a light to a fabulous animal. And “Foolly-tailed Devil” from the same category – a cunning and charming child demonstrates wonders of ingenuity and resourcefulness, repeatedly leaving adults in fools. And so that causing serious bodily harm to two hapless dogs did not look too realistic, the creators of the cartoon decided to exaggerate what was happening. As a result: the animation is quite simple, as if indeed all this was painted by a talented, but still a child, two hapless kidnappers, demonstrate the wonders of flexibility turning into a soccer ball, then into a lamppost, or even pulling their limbs for a huge distance and thanks to this circumstance, the viewer perceives what is happening just as it should - the adventure of cartoons who are not able to cause each other no matter how serious injuries, but they are able to do another - give the viewer a charge of vivacity and good mood, and this is not a little. So if you are tormented by the spooky, you are sad and lonely, then watch the “Cherten with a furry tail”, you will not regret it.
