Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
A natural pick for animal lovers and anyone looking to switch off and smile. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Shelve it next to Zootopia or The Aristocats.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 6 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Betty brings home a cat as a playmate for her pet puppy, Pudgy. The cat manages to get Pudgy blamed for all his misbehaviour.
