Milo and Otis

[rustnstardust]

So today I was watching Milo and Otis. I haven't watched it since I was like 5, so now I was watching it with a new perspective. Expecting to sit down and enjoy a cute cuddly movie narrated by Dudley Moore (him trying to impersonate a cat giving labor is just too funny) I actually found myself really disturbed. The animals are clearly shit-scared

You know that scene where the cat is in the barrel and goes over the waterfall? They killed a cat for each take they did that.

Yeah, I seem to remember hearing that they killed somewhere between 7 - 9 cats making this movie. I don't know about how many dogs.

[br0ken_dolly]

i heard it was 16 or 17 cats.

far fewer dogs.

the movie horrifies me. i refuse to watch it.

i actually won't watch any animal movies that are more than a few years old (and even then i dont usually watch them) because they probably killed at least one creature or at least tortured one during the course of filming.

I heard it was 27! The claims have never been substantiated though, so we'll probably never know the exact figure.

[br0ken_dolly]

those poor cats. it's almost worse that they've basically died anonymously. we'll never know how many to mourn.

just like all the kitties in shelters.

That is so fucking horrible. It disgusts me to no end that people would do that.

[hellhound]

Yeah, but can it be substantiated?

[rustnstardust]

How do you know that?

my mother loves this movie. i feel horrible now. :(
