OMG I remember this series and the books, those rat characters especially Annamaria creeped me out, especially the fact they try to eat a innocent kitten. Is it me or rats tend out to be creepy or demented creatures in some stories like this one and Coraline....0.0
@emmasmith173 That's because Rats are ofen misunderstood to be vile and disgusting creatures (Thus evil). Which is really too bad since Rats are really smart and healthy animals, given the chance.
I remember reading this story as a kid and its really scared me. Honestly out of all the stories she wrote, I remember this one the most because of just how crazy it was.
The part with the rats always frightened me when I was a child, though they still do, I feel so bad for Tom when I was young I wished I could've helped him. It's sort of disturbing that these rats ate cats, it's quite scary.
@razetora Indeed. This was the one Beatrix Potter story that stood out to me. And probably the one that I would repeat over and over again. ^^ *sigh* I miss the creativity of stories like this one.
Man this story freaked me out when I was a kid. Two nasty rats trying to eat the kitten while the kitten is fully aware that it might get eaten.
I love those Old testament-esque children stories. The ones that serve as a warning and had an ugly side. Those were the best because they both terrified and fascinated you. Even today I still remember this particular story.
@KakashiSenseiRox I didn't know what it was, probably since we don't have BBC. But I found it here on YouTube now, and watched the beginning. It sounded like Ms. Montague had the same voice, am I right ?
I remember that story, i used to watched it when i was like 2 or 3 years old at my grandma's house with my sister (who was my older sister, but she's 18 right now and going to graduate from High School known as called pace)
Ths episode reminds me of Grandma and Grandpa. They had it on video and I watched it allot.And my grandpa would roll me up in a blanket to make me into a pudding....lol. Thankyou so much for the memories
This story scared my now bad-ass punk brother when he was little. to this day when i show him the story book he cringes and is like, "Damn, that kitten is in some DEEP shit" i dont know why, but it makes me smile to think that these stories even have impact on someone like him :) thanks for posting these. i adore beatrix potters stories :3
This cartoon is so disturbing; I remember watching it in second grade and the image of poor Tom meowing helplessly when he is wrapped up has not left my mind... I am 20.
i remember i had this one on video when i was little - but i always cried when the rats rolled him up in the pudding! i got scared - LOL - and i always wondered how a chimney could be SO BIG ...
@horseluverdyke Perhaps in real life, but for a nervous mother worried that her mischievous kittens will be caught and eaten by rats while she's not looking, I think it's perfectly understandable--in a locked cupboard, it would be too difficult and annoying for the rats to try and get to them, especially with their mother standing right there! Just my opinion on the matter.
When I watched this on video as a little boy and the voices of the kittens were different, was it in the American English dialect? This dialect is British, right?
@moira77oram Well, both when I watched this on video in the US, and when I see this on the video, the adult voices sound alike, but the kid voices, like that of Tom, Moppet, Mittens, etc., sound differently.
EVERYONE thinks that the Peter Rabbit episode is a MOVIE! it's not a movie! it's an episode of The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends! just like this is an episode of The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends! get that thru your thick skulls people!
Omg, I'm fucking scared.

i use to think the ratts were evil in this but tbh the cats are worse
if they killed 7 of samuel and anna marias children and ate them
then samuel and anna maria should be able to eat one of there kittens who probobaly still has there dead children in his stomach!
