This short animated film is part of "Spike and Mike's Cutting Edge Classics"--a DVD filled with an hour and a half of very short animated films. Most of them are pretty good and the DVD is much better than the other Spike and Mike one I saw a few months back.

The best thing about KATTEN MONS is the incredibly cool claymation art. The story itself of a very, very hungry cat that eats anything and everything is only okay, but it doesn't matter too much since the film is more like a piece of art than a traditional film. As for the clay, the story is told using two-dimensional tableaux that morph and change before your eyes. It's all rather hypnotic and cool and is well worth seeing.

FYI--On the same disk is included another one of the director's shorts about a guy who falls in love with a rat. It's REAAALLY weird but the claymation is even better.

Norwegian cinema is noted for its naturalistic storytelling, rugged landscapes, and introspection. It often explores themes of isolation, existential crisis, and human connection in a quietly intense minimalist style.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
