RAPIMENTO DE MILLI

This brief circus cartoon from the early 1930s was released in Italy under the name "Rapimento De Milli" or literally, "The Kidnapping of Milli". It's actually an extract from a longer cartoon (likely with a different title) and features Countess Cat, a character that was created by Paul Terry. Countess Cat appears in the Van Beuren Studios cartoon shorts, often paired up with her boyfriend Waffles Cat. Countess was a popular character for a brief time. Stores sold dolls of Countess, figurines and posters and she appeared in story books, and coloring books with her boyfriend Waffles the Cat.
