Horrible. If I saw this as a child I would be terrified. Definitely should not be rated G, and no parents should be duped into thinking this is suitable for children because it's by Disney. Watching this as a child would be a traumatic experience.

"Lorenzo" is a 5-minute animated short film from over 10 years ago. This one won an Annie Award and was nominated for an Oscar, where it lost to Chris Landreth's take on Ryan Larkin. But back to this little Disney tale here. Mike Gabriel tells us about a fat blue cat who acts very boastfully, but runs into a little black cat with magic powers. From that moment on, the title character's tail has its own identity. After some fighting and dancing, Lorenzo decides enough is enough and tries to cut it off. Will he succeed? Lots of wild music and dancing sequences in here, but in terms of the story, I was really hoping for more, even if it's only a 5-minute film. It may be a good lesson to animators in terms of style and technique that give it almost a film-noir look, but for general audiences, it is not that interesting really. Thumbs down.

"Lorenzo" is an interesting sort of experimental film but even though it's from Disney, it's an animated film that no doubt would appeal more to the adults out there than kids. This is because the film is set to very loud tango music and the usual sound effects and style are absent. This isn't a complaint...it's still a very nice cartoon. The story begins with a very spoiled cat enjoying the life of luxury--and not caring the least for the poor and hungry cats just outside his house. When a cat missing a tail comes by, Lorenzo is sure to rub it in that he has a beautiful and long tail. And, because of this, he is taught a lesson as the tailless cat is magical...and makes Lorenzo's tail come to life on its own. Lorenzo is terrified because the tail wants to do his own thing and so he tries a bunch of funny (and brutal) methods to get rid of the pesky tail. A cute story about karma.

I saw this short film before 'Raising Helen", and was quite surprised by it.The animation combined with CG like movements from background to background is really good, but the storyline leaves something to be desired. An obnoxious cat, gets a spell put on his tail, by a odd mystical black cat, so it comes alive and starts to tango with him. And after a while i was starting to get a little freaked out by what all this cat was trying to do to his tail to make it stop. (running it over with a train, drowning it, electrocuting it, and ultimately wanting to take a knife to it) This cartoon is defiantly a different direction for Disney, and is not for everybody.
