When the terrier said he'd find the rats, it sounded (to my young ears at the time) like "I'll soon find the wee bagels". My brother and I used that term as an insult for years afterward. :D
the funny thing is ,is how beatrix potter used to mistreat animals and capture them from the wild and let them die just to help her with her writting she was a dark twisted womean ! i wouldnt be supprised if she actually did this to a kitten herself.
Read all the stories as a kid now my kids are watching them, GREAT stories! and not HORRIFIC at all, watch 'scream' and all that junk if you think this is bad- grow up, it's a cute story
Beatrix Potter was disturbed for writing this... It is hard to watch, promotes animal cruelty to children, and is just sad. I first saw it in second grade. It upset me then and upsets me today. I'm 20.
@Clayton0001 You have to take into account when this story was actually written which was around 1907. Such ideology was not frowned upon as much as it is today. However, no character is Mrs. Potter's stories were ever harmed or hurt...
On the other hand, despite us feeling sorry for Tom Kitten lol, the tales of Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, and Pigling Bland were some of the most beloved stories of our childhood for most of this and brings back wonderful memories...
@Clayton0001 I wouldn't say it promotes animal cruelty at all... quite the opposite. We root for Tom and feel sorry him. The rats are demonised for their behaviour and get their just desserts by being forced out. I think it has a good moral, and if I ever have children they'll be raised on a healthy diet of Beatrix Potter just like I was!
@Clayton0001 How was she disturbed? I'm totally against Animal Cruelty and I find this story exciting... None of the cats were harmed anyway. Yeah probably mentally scarred... But its just a story!
I always want some butter after I see the rat running away with it. I remember all of this. I love how the fat guy rat is so lazy and the woman rat does all the work. hhahaha
Does anyone else think Cousin Ribby sounds a bit like Brenda Bruce (Aunt Dahlia from Seasons 1 and 2 of Jeeves and Wooster)? Or did she die before this was made? Just wondering.
this is why i HATE rats! i found this so terrifying when i was young and now i find this so sad! :( hate hate hate rats, anna-maria and fatty ratty should DIE IN A HOLE.
i totally forgot bout this until i watched the miss potter film today. this scared the hell out of me when i was a kid - put me off rats for life!! lol
omg thanks for posting this. I haven't seen this since the early 90's. Man the mice were bold to do all of that. Take her kitten and her flour her butter and rolling pin.
I remember this-It was horrifying. I mean here you have this kitten crying out for help as two sadistic mice slowly torture him. I mean I think it is actually more horrifying now.
I love it when Tabitha drops mittens on the floor. This was my favorite when I was a kid, but it gave me nightmares. I watched the vhs tape every morning when I woke up. Those rats still scare me.
This video is one of my earliest memories. I don't even think I knew what was going on, but it has been in the recesses of my mind for the past 18 years, and I could only vaguely remember it's existence. It has taken me MONTHS of searching to find this. It makes me so happy to see this video and, quite frankly, sad at the same time that THIS was the kind of horrific stuff I was watching as a child. Good times.
i honestly dont blame you.. i mean i used to love watching it as a kid...but now that i watch it when im alot older..im like good god showing this kind of explicit to a kid....like mice eating cats...that pretty creepy...very pg rated -_______-
oh my goodness! the voice of the mother's cousin is the woman who played Hyacinth on "keeping up appearances!"
