Cat Which Could Sing

The Cat tries in vain to get the attention of the beloved Lady-Cat by singing, but she does not pay attention, as she is too busy watching various TV shows. The Cat decides to get on TV and perform with his song there, but he constantly gets claims - "we do not take tails", "why on earth do you have a striped face", and the last remark about "fur mittens" the Cat is angry and shows claws . After that, he is categorically forbidden for the show, to which the Cat responds with the threat of "spoiling all your television."

Directed by Natan Lerner, Cat Which Could Sing leans on a strong ensemble — Aleksandr Lenkov, Natalya Chenchik, Eduard Nazarov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1988.
