Little Tora, The Abandoned Cat is the first in the trio of Tora-chan shorts and perhaps the one with the deepest and most memorable story. I think this particular short works as a great accompaniment to such works as Grave of the Fireflies or a feature film like Come and See.

Little Tora is an interesting little animated series, by director, Kenzō Masaoka. Mr. Masaoka is cited as one of the earliest Japanese animation directors to use cell animation and sound.
