I had the VHS copy of this and the little kitten softly "meow"ing for help as he was about to be eaten by the rats was very disturbing. Especially when he was trapped in his own home and his mom and aunt couldn't find them.
EDIT: Here it is in full! God what a throwback. As messed up as this story is, I loved it as a kid and would watch it all the time.

i don't remember this one but I do remember Watership Down and The Rats of NIMH
5 0 ReplyHonestly, it's not nearly as disturbing as those. Watership Down sticks with you for life.

Oh no I really had no idea.
5 0 ReplyI know this has to be an old children's tale, but it's kinda fucked up. At least it has a happy ending.
4 0 ReplyI saw it countless times as a child and still felt scared for the cat every time I saw that scene.

Say sike right now
5 1 ReplyNah man. The mom even mentioned that earlier she found 7 of those rats and they ate them for dinner, but couldn't get the "father rat", the fat one in the picture. We can only assume they were his kids that she ate. So it's no wonder they would maybe want some payback.

Looks like the disturbing part starts at 14m50s, but what happens next? They cook and eat it?

I forgot they made it into an animation. I only know it as a book.
2 0 ReplyThey made tons of these! The Peter Rabbit ones were my favorite. They're such good adaptations, they tell the original stories perfectly.

If IRC, this is from a fucked up Beatrix Potter story that I definitely shouldn't have been given access to as a young child.
