Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who loves a world with magic in it and animal lovers. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. Liked The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse? This is a good next one. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

A grandmother tells her young grandchild the moving tale of a lonely girl and an unforgettable magical cat in this animated short narrated by Oscar®, Emmy and Tony award winner Maureen Stapleton. The film is based on a short story written by Dayal Kaur Khalsa and adapted by two-time Governor General's award recipient Tim Wynne-Jones.
