The Cat Came Back is a 1988 animated film by Canadian director Cordell Barker, produced by fellow award-winning Winnipeg animator Richard Condie. Based on the children's song "And the Cat Came Back", it concerns the increasingly desperate Mr. Johnson, an old man who attempts to rid himself of a small, yet extremely destructive, yellow cat.
Produced in Winnipeg by the National Film Board of Canada, the film garnered over 15 awards, including a Genie Award for Best Animated Short,[1] as well as an Academy Award nomination.[2] It was also chosen for inclusion in animation historian Jerry Beck's 50 Greatest Cartoons, placing at #32.[3]
