On-screen heroes come in all shapes and sizes, so even adorable cats can become the stars of a story.
Here are 6 famous cats who have become heroes on the small screen:
Doraemon in Doraemon
The character Doraemon the robot cat with a magical bag created by Fujiko F Fujio is a close friend of many generations of children in Japan and many other countries, including Vietnam.
Doraemon the robot cat was sent by Nobito to the past to his great-grandfather Nobita – a clumsy and weak boy with the hope that the Cat will help Nobita improve his situation.
For example, thanks to Doraemon, Nobita was able to meet his grandmother again – the person he loved the most or go back to the past to witness the feelings and hopes that his parents had for him.
Thomas O’Malley in The Aristocats
The 70s musical The Aristocats revolves around an aristocratic cat family including mother cat Duchess (Eva Gabor) and three talented kittens.
Contrary to the first impression of a wandering, clever `socialite` cat, O’Malley is actually a hero who saved the aristocratic cat family.
Mittens in Bolt
Audiences of Bolt must already know the film’s eponymous main character – an adorable German Shepherd dog with an imaginary superhero life.
In the movie, there is a scene where Mittens teaches Bolt, when he wants to beg, to tilt his head and look as pitiful as possible.
Cheshire Cat in Alice In Wonderland
Known for his wide mouth and signature mischievous smile, the Cheshire Cat became an extremely memorable character in Alice In Wonderland.
However, Cheshire still deserves to be considered a hero for saving Alice from the Red Queen’s punishment.
Baron the Cat in The Cat Returns
The Cat Returns is an animated work from Studio Ghibli, with the highlight being the character Baron (count) – a polite cat guy who exudes a regal, strong look.
Cat in Boots in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Re-appearing on the big screen after 11 years, Puss in Boots still retains the temperament of an unusual hero: as proud, talented and careless as before.
Puss’ integrity and humor, and the adorable nature of a `king` make Puss in Boots a hero worthy of receiving thousands of hearts from the audience.
