We Did It: A chaotic afternoon with some kittens

Is this worth a watch?

If you like vintage animation that feels like it’s vibrating at a frequency only dogs can hear, sure, give it a go. It’s perfect for a rainy afternoon when you don’t want to think about anything heavier than a cartoon kitten knocking over a lamp. If you get annoyed by constant high-pitched squealing or predictable slapstick, you’ll probably want to skip this one entirely. 🐾

The whole thing kicks off because Betty Boop is gone. It is basically the golden rule of cartoons: the second the adult leaves, the house turns into a war zone. These kittens are absolute menaces. They move so fast it is like they are vibrating through the walls.

Pudgy just wants a nap. He is honestly the most relatable character here, just trying to avoid the fallout of someone else's mess. You can see the exhaustion in his little eyes before the chaos even starts. 🐶

The pacing is honestly frantic. There isn't much room to breathe, which is pretty standard for these, but it feels like the animators were on a sugar rush. Sometimes the background art is beautiful, and other times it just disappears into a blur of motion lines.

It reminds me a bit of the vibe in How to Tell, where everything feels slightly on the edge of falling apart. The kittens are just relentless. They break things, they chase things, and they make sure Pudgy looks like the culprit every single time.

Random observations:

• That one kitten has a weirdly specific way of walking that looks like he's trying to do a tap dance on a wet floor.
• The sound effects are LOUD. Like, turn-your-speakers-down loud.
• I’m still not sure why they have so much furniture to break.

It is definitely a relic of a different time. You don't see this kind of manic, slapstick-heavy storytelling much anymore. It’s not profound, but it’s weirdly charming in its own messy way.

Poor Pudgy. He never stood a chance against that many kittens. If you need a distraction that doesn't ask for your brain, this is it.
