This 1950s Walt Disney Animation Explores How Cats Went From Gods To Devils

by Jill Pantozzi | 6:00 pm, September 9th, 2012


This delightful animation was part of a weekly hour-long television program Disney put together for ABC back in 1954 in exchange for their help building Disneyland. Youtuber Disneytv4me writes, “As a result, the television show was also originally named Disneyland. The anthology series has since gone through a number of name changes over the years: Walt Disney Presents, Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, The Wonderful World of Disney, Disney’s Wonderful World, Walt Disney, The Disney Sunday Movie, and The Magical World of Disney. The series spanned an incredible 54 years—13 seasons of which were hosted by Walt Disney, himself.” Here now, for your enjoyment, is a piece they did on the history of cats.

    Just a heads-up: Typo in your title. “Expores.”

    These old Disney shorts have some of the oddest mistakes in them. Like, “The Reign of Terror” had nothing to do with witchcraft and killing cats.

    Oh Disney, you lemming killing ragamuffins.

    I feel old I remember watching this in the 80′s in syndication on a channel that became a FOX affliate.
