  • abandoned and deserted, the cat was projecting memories of its life, only to realise it was only an illusion, when he finds out that he himself is just a memory projecting itself among our world. And that now not even a memory of the house exists.

    Everything fades, even memories.

  • To each his own, but there are many, many words I would use to describe this video. Funny is not one of them.

    Soul-crushing, despondent, disheartened, dejected, miserable, and helplessly, punishingly sad perhaps. But not funny.

    Unless you meant the whole of Allegro Non Troppo...

  • wierd video :o

  • It's really open to lots of interpretation, but imho it's still about the dead yearning and reaching to bring themselves back from the dead and failing. The valse was originally written for a play where a sick woman falls asleep and wakes to the sound of music and sees people dancing. She dances with them, but they fade - she dances more vigorously and they return, only to leave when someone knocks at the door, flinging it open. The music stop and the woman is left alone with death at the door.

    It can't be like that.

    However the cat has died. Maybe it hasn't lost anything. Maybe the cat is with it's family now, when it's soul perhaps moved forward and didn't have to see the rest of it's home to be tear down, we don't know.

    Memories doesn't fade. I mean what the cat just had? Memories! I think that memories can stay here even after death. Maybe even dead can have still memories. Maybe I think too far now. But I must agree with Kaseywak

    "Yet this idea is completely absurd: no cat (or person) would wander after they are dead and be forced to realize all that they have lost. That is perhaps the greatest beauty of death: no sorrow, no regrets." I mean "You're dead this's what you lost." Awful!

  • Everything in this video is so sad. I however have to disagree with you about the idea. So many things fade through time, which I find very sad and agonizing, but not memories.

    I think the cat could be a soul of a cat still wandering in it's old home. When the cat realises that there is just memories left it's really sad, because it's all alone there and doesn't want be there anymore, because it's sad and lonely. That is sad also, but soul I hope can go to a better place...

  • I saw this video for the first time when I was 6 years old, on a original copy. I dreamed, I had many white nights and I cried so much about it. And now, I watch this on youtube and I cry again. This is the saddest movie that I saw in my life...and the most beautiful animation and creation too!

  • @HailAnts The whole film is a cornucopia of emotions and expressions as far as I see it. Yes it's a spoof of Fantasia, but also quite and interesting diversion into mayhem, moods and merriment.
