CAT OF THE DAY 012: BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS

CAT OF THE DAY 012: BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS (1971)

“What do you call your cat?”

“I don’t believe in giving animals ridiculous names. I call him Cosmic Creepers, because that’s the name he came with.”

Cosmic Creepers is a very black cat who lives with Miss Price (Angela Lansbury), a novice witch, in the quaint English village of Pepperinge Eye.

He goes a bit CATZILLA/CATSHOCK on the children who have been billeted with her during World War Two, but mostly contents itself with CATPANION reaction shots when, for example, she is trying out her new broom. (See CATEGORIES)

Unexpectedly for a Disney film, Cosmic Creepers never turns cute and loveable. He remains aloof and independent.

    1. It’s lovely! The climax, where the ghostly suits of armour fight the Nazis, always reduces me to tears.
