What's Michael?

About This Movie

So, 'What's Michael?' is this quirky little animated flick from 1985, revolving around a cat named Michael who navigates the ups and downs of suburban life. It’s got a charmingly chaotic vibe, especially with the cartoonist and his wife as his human sidekicks. There’s this mix of light-hearted comedy with some surprisingly relatable themes about fitting in and dealing with rivals—like Nyazilla, who's essentially the local tough cat, a real lizard of a character. The animation style is pretty basic but has its own charm, capturing the awkwardness of daily life and the absurdities of being a pet in a human world. Definitely has a unique flair that sets it apart from more polished animations of the time.
