Top 15 Popular Animated Motion Picture Cats, Kitties and Lions
0
I have complied a list of the top popular animated Kitties, Cats and Lions. Now I came to the conclusion after all the research I started to do, this list could have been endless… scouring the internet for the most notable cats became challenging only because I kept finding more iconic cats along the way. Note this post is only cats that have been feature in a major movie picture. I realize that there are a TON of noteworthy animated cat characters. Each possessing their own canny ability to capture (god or bad) the hearts of an audience. So this post is only about the top 15 cats and their counter parts. Meaning other cats associated in that particular movie but are not the top cat. You will notice is this post a lot of the cats big and small seem to have some bad attributes while other are just plan old cute maybe one more than the other. You decide which is your favorite as I have and leave a comment below.

Wow this brings me back to biology class and pretty much sums up how it was for me in class! So many times i got asked to leave class for doodling on my notes. And let me point out he even uses one of my signature pens the Bic 4-color! I always run out blue, red and green and left with black. But by far one of the best pens out there (I’m using one now and yes only left with black ink). Check out live-action/pen animation short video below of “(Notes on) Biology” filmed at Rising Starr Middle School in Fayetteville, Georgia, directed by Danny Madden, Will Madden and Jonathan Silva of Ornana Films. The film was winner of Best Animation at the 2012 SXSW festival.

Love & Theft by Film Bilder
0
Have any of you ever seen this Love & Theft by Film Bilder video its nuts! very trippy and psychedelic but one thing I like about this video the most is the subliminal avant-garde Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob SquarePants, Betty Boop, Hello Kitty Spiderman, Burt, Powder Puff Girl and, Charlie Brown. Now warn you it’s almost seven minutes worth of flashy interchanging characters, that could make you a little ill and maybe the end is not too suitable for children with out supervision. I personally like the sound track by Heiko Maile. Check out the short film below.
