I had the VHS copy of this and the little kitten softly "meow"ing for help as he was about to be eaten by the rats was very disturbing. Especially when he was trapped in his own home and his mom and aunt couldn't find them.
EDIT: Here it is in full! God what a throwback. As messed up as this story is, I loved it as a kid and would watch it all the time.
oh. oh god. i thought this looked familiar.
i'm amazed that memory even exists in my neurons still cuz i haven't activated them shits since like 1999
What?! ☹️
What movie is this? O.o
The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or The Roly Poly Pudding it's a Beatrix Potter story.
Oh no I really had no idea.
i don't remember this one but I do remember Watership Down and The Rats of NIMH
Honestly, it's not nearly as disturbing as those. Watership Down sticks with you for life.
Watership Down is one where the teacher assessed tiny me as "high reading comprehension" but no one really delved into, does this child have emotional comprehension of literal killing fields? eh, guess I worked it out emoji finger guns and sad sigh
I know this has to be an old children's tale, but it's kinda fucked up. At least it has a happy ending.
I saw it countless times as a child and still felt scared for the cat every time I saw that scene.
Say sike right now
Nah man. The mom even mentioned that earlier she found 7 of those rats and they ate them for dinner, but couldn't get the "father rat", the fat one in the picture. We can only assume they were his kids that she ate. So it's no wonder they would maybe want some payback.

Oh goo- wait you’re not OP…
I forgot they made it into an animation. I only know it as a book.
They made tons of these! The Peter Rabbit ones were my favorite. They're such good adaptations, they tell the original stories perfectly.
Looks like the disturbing part starts at 14m50s, but what happens next? They cook and eat it?
You should watch the rest of the story and find out
