Santa's Claws!

Hugh, Maisie and Jess, three mischievous cats and hugs, share the life of Simon Tofield, English designer. It is by observing them, (and he damned well observed!) That the author has created "Simon's Cat". It all started with the existence of a site where the author proposed the videos whose hero was this funny cat in jokes inspired by his three roommates. When recording the soundtrack, Simon Tofield is the voice of the cat: the "rrrroooouuu" and "meow" I must confess that when you told me: "You do not know the books by Simon Tofield? Naaaaan ? quickly see ... Ben Simon's cat on the net, you're gonna enjoy this! "I never imagined such realism in attitudes and antics of the cat. It is a bit "chubby" because he thinks only of food but he remains, like all cats graceful. The penciled line does not diminish the sharpness of the British humor of these little animated sequences. That is, there remains the artistic feat: Realising as simply excatitude but with as much tenderness and facial expressions and cooing of the cat. The result is brilliant, the comic effect is completely successful. Watch live and play a cat, you see! Animal friends you make without exception the giggles I had the pleasure and surprise to bite before the adventures of Kitty. The shot of the tree, how many times I laughed at home! There, the final rest a little exaggerated, but the cat's facial expressions are fly as quite accurate. The secret of Mr Tofield is all based on realism, like Disney, but he did not just observe, in my opinion, there is the feeling of love that the designer feels for cats, this sees and feels. Thank you sir and thank you Tofied chatting!


"Simon's Cat, a cat calamity" (French title of the first book, the second is "Simon's Cat is the beautiful" Black River Editions) takes the videos from Simon Tofield. No fear of losing the realism of the videos. There is evidence of the talent of the author, the drawings are just as quiet hilarious. Good viewing ... :)
