The chasing of a mouse by a cat, using five different animated techniques.
Through a classical tale of a cat and mouse chase the authors intertwine various animation techniques in a unique manner, combining these with whit and imagination. We wish to introduce Animatou to all age groups because of the didactical value it holds as a representation of different animation techniques.
