00:00You must have seen the movie. You must have read the book.
00:05He's a mellow yellow feline, so take a second look.
00:10He knows everything about nothing, and not too much about that.
00:15So if you know someone who knows what he knows, then you must know Henry's cat.
00:22Henry's cat looked out of the window.
00:24Oh, why doesn't something exciting happen, he thought to himself.
00:29Hardly had a thought left his mind when there was a... on the door.
00:34When he opened it, there was no one there.
00:37Then, suddenly, someone gave him a kiss-kiss and said...
00:41Oh, this is a kiss-o-gram, happy birthday!
00:45Before Henry's cat could regain his composure, a frightening figure howled...
00:51Oh, this is a ghost-o-gram, happy birthday!
01:00He was wondering what was going to happen next, and he soon found out.
01:05Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
01:11Happy birthday, Henry's cat! Happy birthday to you!
01:16Oh, what sort of happy birthday is this? inquired Henry's cat.
01:21Oh, it's a joke! It's a joke! For your birthday! said Chris Rabbit.
01:26Oh, it's a funny sort of joke, said Henry's cat.
01:30By which I mean it's an unfunny sort of joke.
01:34And anyway, my birthday is not till tomorrow, so then...
01:39I think we've upset him! I think we've upset him! said Chris Rabbit.
01:45Never had a truer word been spoken. Henry's cat was furious.
01:50Oh, I'll never speak to any of them again, and I'll tell them so right away!
01:56Still in a furious mood, Henry's cat took his breakfast of custard and chips and watched television.
02:03The program was about famous film stars in Hollywood who had started off in ordinary jobs.
02:08Texas Joe Yonkers, the famous cowboy star, had once been a peanut seller at football games.
02:14And Minnie Moomar, the romantic heroine loved by millions, had once been an egg cup tester in a hen factory.
02:23Henry's cat had a sudden thought. If they could go to Hollywood and become stars, so could he!
02:30You know that I could be a star. I'm not a freak who isn't unique.
02:35With my ultra-perfect physique, I'd show them what my talent is.
02:39I know that I could be a star. I could sing about anything.
02:43Just like Altinatra or Bing, all I need is my guitar.
02:47Yes, I could be a star. I could dance with Penny Lamar if they gave me...
02:54I could jump just like Superman. I could also do the splits like Stan put it on the Ritz.
03:00I could be the king of Hollywood, of Odeotodo.
03:05I could be a star, making all my muscles ache.
03:09If you look wet and in a swamp lake, yes, I could stand the pain.
03:12You know that I could be a star.
03:15Look back and show me beyond. I could really hog the screen-o.
03:20I could be a star. With my jumps, I'd really go far.
03:24If they gave me...
03:26I could jump.
03:28My hairstyle would be grander with more fruit in common, Miranda.
03:32I could be the king of Hollywood, of Odeotodo.
03:37I could be a star. It's my destiny to succeed.
03:41Every movie mogul's agreed.
03:43That yellow fellow has judged, you know.
03:46I'm certainly a property and possibly top of the trade.
03:53I could be very hot indeed again.
03:57I just might go and be a star.
04:05Henry's cat made a decision.
04:07His future lay before his past and all those friends who had upset him would be forgotten.
04:12He wrote a postcard to Hollywood.
04:14Oh, dear Hollywood, I will be arriving soonest.
04:19Please have everything ready. Love, Henry's cat.
04:23Then, putting on his sunglasses, everybody in Hollywood wears sunglasses,
04:28he caught the number nine helibus to Los Angeles.
04:35Unfortunately, no one was there to greet him.
04:39Perhaps he had got off at the wrong bus stop.
04:41However, he soon saw a film studio and joined a queue of eager-looking extras.
04:54Yeah, we need two big ones and a small bouncy one.
04:58You, you and you, go and get made up.
05:03Well, Henry's cat had an axe put in his head and arrows and knives stuck in him.
05:08He was to be part of a cowboy's and Indian's film.
05:17Cut. Credit.
05:19Next shot.
05:23Action.
05:24Credit. Next shot.
05:29Action.
05:37Cut. Yeah, great, great. Next shot.
05:42This turned out to be the death of Lord Nelson.
05:45He was told to salute as the ship went down.
05:48Henry's cat was just going down for the third time when he was fished out.
05:52He flopped down, not knowing what was happening,
05:54which was probably just as well, as someone then put a crash helmet on him.
06:00Well, he was fired from a cannon
06:06and caught by a man on the flying trapeze,
06:08who then dropped him onto a slippery floor.
06:12A very bewildered, bedraggled and bruised Henry's cat
06:17made his way to the film office.
06:19The producer gave him lots of money and said,
06:22Hey, great rehearsal, man.
06:26Tomorrow, we do it for real.
06:30Henry's cat realized that he had gone into the stuntsman's office by mistake.
06:35Oh, dear.
06:37That's one stunt I won't pull again.
06:40I'll have to find fame and fortune some other way.
06:44Well, another way soon presented itself.
06:47This looked like just the right sort of thing for expressing Henry's cat's talents.
06:54Okay, everybody.
06:56I have all your names on this list.
06:59And on this list, I have all your names.
07:05And on this list, I have all the famous stars' names.
07:10Over there is a box of clothes and make-up.
07:15And the first star is...
07:19Charlie Chaplin!
07:25They were all so good, it was difficult to choose between them.
07:30And their next look-alike is...
07:37Mickey Mouse!
07:44Again, they were all so good, it was difficult to tell them from the real film star.
07:50The presenter was just about to announce the name of the next famous film star when he sneezed.
07:59And dropped his papers.
08:02Unfortunately, he read out the wrong one by mistake.
08:06And instead of a film star, he called out a contestant.
08:10And the next famous film star is...
08:16Henry's cat!
08:21Henry's cat just stood there looking bewildered.
08:30And now, for the winner.
08:33Yes, yes, the winner by a short head and a large stomach is...
08:41Henry's cat!
08:50Oh yeah? Is that so?
08:53Well, I say he's no film star.
08:57He's no film star. I ain't never heard of him.
09:02Well, the presenter didn't want to look silly on TV, so he quickly made up something about Henry's cat.
09:11Well sir, not only is Henry's cat a fine example of a Henry's cat look-alike, he's also a real Henry's cat in his spare time.
09:19And he comes from Europe and England, where he is very famous anonymously, because he's shy.
09:28Very soon, everyone in America knew of Henry's cat.
09:31To say nothing of Kenny Kiddly, the cuddly toy manufacturer.
09:36Hey listen everybody, I got this great idea.
09:39I'm gonna make Henry's cat look-alike masks.
09:43Very soon, everybody in the United States will be wearing them.
09:58Then one day, something terrible happened.
10:01Someone had traced Henry's cat's ancestry, and discovered he was not, and never had been, a famous film star.
10:09He was immediately arrested for false impersonation of himself, and taken to court.
10:16Then, he had a bright idea.
10:19Why can't I call all my friends? They know who I am.
10:24The judge thought it was a good idea, but the judge was wrong.
10:28He wanted to make Henry's cat look like a Henry's cat.
10:31So he made Henry's cat look like a Henry's cat.
10:34And he made Henry's cat look like a Henry's cat.
10:37And he made Henry's cat look like a Henry's cat.
10:40Why can't I call all my friends? They know who I am.
10:44The judge thought it was a good idea too, and immediately sent for Henry's cat's friends as witnesses.
10:50They went straight into court to identify him.
10:54Oh, can you prove that your friend Henry's cat is in fact Henry's cat, and not a look-alike of himself?
11:05Said the judge.
11:07Oh, that's easy, that's easy, said Chris Rabbit.
11:10There are lots of look-alikes, but there's only one eat-alike.
11:13No one can eat like Henry's cat, except Henry's cat.
11:17Oh, wow, very well.
11:20I want all you Henry's cats to eat a large pudding, said the judge.
11:28Of course, the real Henry's cat was eating long after all the others and began to feel ill.
11:33The proof of the eating was in the pudding.
11:36A fatter and happier cat left the court with compensation for mistaken identity.
11:42All the newspaper men were there, and people from television.
11:46Everybody in Hollywood followed the story.
11:49A famous film producer thought the story would make a good film,
11:54A famous film producer thought the story would make a good film,
11:57and offered Henry's cat a contract.
12:00Oh, that's funny.
12:02I came to Hollywood to become rich and famous,
12:05but it only happened when my friends came with me.
12:09Henry's cat and his friends were photographed by famous stars.
12:14They made a film together.
12:16All was forgiven.
12:18Henry's cat would never leave his friends again.
12:21And that is the true story of how Henry's cat became a famous film star.
12:26Only the facts have been altered to protect the innocent.
12:30Well, they all returned to Europe and England, happier for their experience.
12:34Henry's cat got out a look-alike mask and said,
12:37Oh, wow, you can fool some of the people all of the time,
12:42and all of the people some of the time,
12:45but you can't fool friends.
12:48Which reminds me, I still have a birthday party to use up.
