Kitty from the City

About This Movie

So, 'Kitty from the City' is an interesting little animation from 1971 that blends comedy with a bit of a camping adventure. The story revolves around this city couple and their very anxious cat, Precious, on a classic RV trip. Woody Woodpecker’s antics are pretty relentless, which definitely sets a light-hearted tone, but there's something charming about the way it captures the mismatched dynamics between city life and the wild. The pacing meanders a bit, typical for animation of that era, but it has a kind of whimsical flow that feels nostalgic. The practical effects, while simple, have a certain charm that’s hard to overlook - like hand-drawn sequences that invite you into its silly world. It's not groundbreaking by any means, but the quirky humor and character interactions give it a distinctive vibe.

'Kitty from the City' is somewhat of a rarity in the animation collector community, not often found in standard collections. Most of its releases were in the early home video formats, with very few prints circulating today, making it a curiosum for animation enthusiasts. While it doesn't boast the same recognition as other animated features from the same period, its unique humor and nostalgic aesthetics might attract those with a keen interest in lesser-known works from the early '70s.
