A black cat sings you a lullaby about tiger blood running through tabby fur. Four children get exactly what they wished for, and the movie stops there, satisfied. This is comfort distilled to its purest form: a 1929 fever dream where wanting something and getting it are the same moment, and a cat's voice is enough to make it all feel true.

Four children long to have a cat of their own, and their wish comes true when they meet a black cat. The cat sings them a song claiming that he and his tabby brother come from a line of tigers. He also dances beneath trees as cherry blossoms drift down. This short fantasy film was finished in 1929 and released in 1931, and it is noted as the first anime with synchronized sound.
