My grandmother had this on VHS and we would watch it all the time, she still had it and it's so worn out haha. I thought I'd look here by chance and was surprised Peter No Tail was up. Thanks for the memories :D
lol... i can't belive av com across this animation, am 29 now and i watched this when i was 5 with my brothers and sisters , my auntie had it recorded around christmas time i can remember watching it over and over again. brings back memories, good old VHS.
@ACruelPicture No, I think the translator(s) made lyrics about the family father going home from the countryside place. I have seen the movie in Swedish many times before, and I can tell that they messed up the English version, considering the script. However, the voices aren't that bad.
@simonstadin What is the song about in the Swedish version? The American English version is about how Peter wants a tail! And the overall movie is more politically correct while being Amero-centric (giving no indication that it takes place in Sweden!). Was this movie popular in Sweden?
Oh I loved this as a child! I'd worn the tape out from watching it again and again. I had the American localization though, so the British voices, dialog and song lyrics don't match up with my memories.... which is actually more disorienting then I'd have expected. Still a fantastic memory trip to a more innocent time.
Brings me back to my youth thank you for uploading this lovely drawn animation ! Used to love this and never thought id see it again ! Brings a big smile to my face :)
I haven't seen this in over 20 years and yet as soon as it started I remembered the music and the animation exactly - such a great film, thanks for the memories!
I still have this on VHS, and despite watching it many times, it's not broken (I'm 15 now and it was recorded sometimes in '95-'96).
Also, you sorta messed up the intro song. In the original version they sang something like "There are big cats, there are small cats, there are cats of every colour" but here they translated it as a song about going back to work after summer vacation, but still it's amazing how you could translate something so Swedish to English. :D
awe. hugs to all the kiddos out there who loved peter no-tail!! were all grown up but the memories are forever. I loved this movie so much my brother and I broke our tape from watching it too much! lol. thank you so much for posting this english copy!! it so hard to find nowadays.
OMG I adored this movie when I was wee! Thank you so much for uploading! We had it on a tape with He-Man & She-Ra Xmas Special and Watership Down and we watched that tape so much it broke :( Haven't seen it since, thank you so much *hugs*
@MrSchweden I read the books in Finnish when I was kid. I used to borrow a high pile of books from the library bus visiting our school. Books about cats (and Pekka Töpöhäntä (Pelle Svanslös/Peter No-Tail)) on the top of it. Any movies I don't remember to see before I was about a teenager, when I saw the Finnish dub of that Cat Olympics movie.
I remember this very well. Not bad animation for the time it was made....lots of observational detail with periods with no dialogue where you just see the scene before you panning around which is unusual for many cartoons now. It seems that post 1990s cartoons there has to be action and noise every two seconds. This hasn't been on the TV for a long, long time. Nice story. Thanks for this.
Thank you so much for posting this! I used to love this, had it on a VHS that my parents taped (probably the same broadcast this is from) - but parts of the tape have been taped over by accident. You have no idea how happy you've made me! Thank you :-)
That TWO sign in the beginning is actually BBC TWO.

Peter did have a tail. It was just a bobtail. Perhaps, they should've named the movie Peter Bobtail.
