00:00You must have seen the movie. You must have read the book. He's a mellow yellow feline. So take a second look. He knows everything about nothing and not too much about that. So if you know someone who knows what he knows, then you must know Henry's cat.
00:21Henry's cat had been reading fairy stories to his teddy bear. As it was bedtime, he started to nod off to sleep and soon the stories and his dreams got all mixed up. Henry's cat, the wandering minstrel, woke up.
00:41Oh, I do feel hungry.
00:44Well, in those days, wandering minstrels had to sing for their supper at every other meal.
00:58But there was no one around he could sing to. He would just have to walk to the next village. He hadn't gone far when he saw a little girl sitting on a tuffet eating some curds and whey.
01:08Oh, hello. I'm Henry's cat. Would you like me to sing you a song?
01:13Well, before the little girl could answer, a huge spider sat down beside her and frightened the little girl away.
01:24Henry's cat didn't like to see food wasted, so he ate up the curds and whey. He felt much better after that and started to sing.
01:32Oh, away I go as a strolling minstrel.
01:44Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Goldilocks. If you see three bears, tell them I went the other way.
01:51Henry's cat felt a little dazed.
01:53Oh, where did she go? said a daddy bear.
02:03Henry's cat hoped there were no more little girls around. He set off in the opposite direction of the bears.
02:13And very soon, he saw a house.
02:16Oh, perhaps I can sing for my lunch there.
02:20He looked inside. There was no one to be seen, but there on the table were three bowls, two of them full of porridge.
02:29He tasted them and they were just right, so he ate them all up.
02:34Not finding anyone to sing to, Henry's cat went on his way.
02:37Oh, where I go, I know...
02:42Well, hardly he left the house when he met another little girl.
02:46Oh, hello. I'm Henry's cat.
02:49Oh, I'm Red Riding Hood and I've got to take these goodies to my granny, but I'd rather be playing football.
02:59Oh, if your granny lives down this way, I can pop them in while I'm passing.
03:04Of course he hoped granny might ask him to stay for tea for being so helpful.
03:08Red Riding Hood gave him the basket.
03:11But he hadn't gone far when a big bad wolf popped out and said...
03:15Oh, good morning, good sir, and where might you be going this fine day?
03:20Oh, hello. I'm going to see Red Riding Hood's granny to take her these goodies.
03:26Oh, what a kind person you must be.
03:29And where does granny live?
03:32Oh, she lives in a cottage in the woods, all alone, just along the path.
03:38Oh, most interesting. Give her my regards when you see her.
03:44The cunning wolf then went off in the direction Henry's cat had pointed.
03:48So that he could eat the granny and then Henry's cat when he arrived.
03:52Fortunately, Red Riding Hood didn't see him.
03:55Oh, granny must be out. I'll dress up like her and eat the cat when he arrives.
04:01In the bedroom, there were three beds.
04:04The baby bed was too small.
04:07And the middle-sized bed was too soft.
04:11But the big bed was just right.
04:15So Red Riding Hood decided to sleep in the big bed.
04:19The wolf put on the mummy bear's nightdress, thinking it belonged to granny.
04:23Well, it wasn't long before the three bears returned from chasing Goldilocks.
04:27They were tired, hungry, and very angry.
04:34When they discovered all the porridge had been eaten up, the daddy bear said,
04:38Yeah, she's been here again. I bet she's asleep in my bed.
04:43Apparently, Red Riding Hood was right.
04:46I bet she's asleep in my bed.
04:49The big bad wolf pretended to be asleep.
04:52But when he opened his eyes and saw the daddy bear, he said,
04:55Oh, what a big piece of wood you have.
04:58What a bad to hit you with, said the daddy bear.
05:04The terrified wolf ran off as fast as he could.
05:08Meanwhile, Henry's cat had discovered something quite amazing.
05:11It was another house, but not an ordinary house.
05:13This house was made of gingerbread.
05:16Oh, I wonder if granny lives here, thought Henry's cat.
05:21Henry's cat had never seen a house made of food before.
05:24He couldn't resist tasting a bit of the doorpost.
05:29And then just a chunk of the windowsill.
05:33In fact, he became so involved in tasting bits of everything,
05:37he didn't see an old lady behind him.
05:39Oh, hello dearie. Welcome to my house.
05:43It tastes much better inside. Care to come in for a cup of tea?
05:48Well, Henry's cat couldn't believe his luck.
05:51There were marzipan curtains, candy stick chairs, chocolate tables.
05:56It was amazing.
05:58He had just started on a cushion full of jelly beans when he spotted a chocolate doorknob.
06:02And when he took the doorknob off to eat it,
06:05the door came open and he saw a lady.
06:07The door came open and he saw a little boy and girl in a cage.
06:13Henry's cat realised he was about to be trapped by his own greediness.
06:17The old lady was really a wicked witch and had crept up behind him.
06:23But the little boy shouted,
06:26Henry's cat threw a cushion at the old witch
06:29and then jumped through a window to look for help.
06:33Luckily it was close at hand.
06:36The big bad wolf mistaken the wicked old witch for Red Riding Hood's granny
06:39ate her all up in one gulp.
06:43Too late, he realised he'd eaten the witch
06:46and immediately got double indigestion with gurgles and burps.
06:53Henry's cat set free the little boy and girl who were called Hansel and Gretel.
06:58They went off happily.
06:59In the meantime, Henry's cat filled his basket with gingerbread to take to granny.
07:04Henry's cat soon came to another house.
07:07This must be granny's house, he thought.
07:09But yet another little girl answered the door.
07:12Her name was Snow White and she invited him in for a cup of tea.
07:16Snow White said she was hiding from her wicked stepmother who was really a witch.
07:20Ow, there's so many witches, one doesn't know which witch is which, said Henry's cat.
07:25Hardly had he spoken when another old lady came to the door,
07:29this time with a basket of apples.
07:31Oh, hello dearie, do you want to buy me lovely red apples?
07:36Just try this lovely red one.
07:39Henry's cat just fancied an apple.
07:42Well, no sooner had he taken a bite than he came over all funny.
07:48The old lady ran away and Snow White realised it was her wicked stepmother.
07:52Oh dear, Henry's cat saved me by his brave deed.
07:56He's my hero, but he's dead.
08:04Oh, what shall I do?
08:07Snow White sadly put Henry's cat in a glass coffin, which was really a goldfish tank.
08:12Then she put the goldfish in a bucket and took them to the pond.
08:16And what do you think happened?
08:17A frog jumped right out beside her.
08:21The frog then spoke to her saying,
08:24Oh, Snow White, I know I'm just an ugly frog, but I have fallen in love with you.
08:32Well, this was a surprise, but it did cheer Snow White up a bit after such a bad day.
08:38Oh, thank you frog, but I'm in love with Henry's cat,
08:42who has just been killed by a frog.
08:44But I'm in love with Henry's cat, who has just been poisoned by my wicked stepmother.
08:50Snow White took the frog home so that he could see Henry's cat for himself.
08:54Oh, Snow White, I can't see him. Open the tank so I can jump up.
09:02The frog landed on Henry's cat's stomach and the poisoned apple shot out.
09:09Ow, where am I? said Henry's cat.
09:12Well, Snow White was so happy, she kissed the frog, who turned into a handsome prince.
09:20Of course, Snow White immediately fell in love with him,
09:24and they were married and lived happily ever after, well, most of the time.
09:30Meanwhile, back at Snow White's cottage, seven dwarfs had turned up.
09:35The first dwarf said,
09:36Here. Hello, Snow White. You look a bit off colour. Are you feeling alright?
09:43Oh, I'm not Snow White. She's just gone off to marry a prince, said Henry's cat.
09:49Oh, has she? Well, what about our dinner then?
09:52Well, if there's one thing Henry's cat knows about, it's food.
09:56As quick as a flash, he said.
09:59Oh, I'll fix you a dinner.
10:01We got gingerbread soup, followed by curry gingerbread in custard with jelly and onions,
10:07followed by fried chocolate gingerbread with gingerbread sauce for sweet.
10:11It was just the sort of thing that dwarfs like.
10:15Meanwhile, the big bad wolf turned up again, looking for Granny.
10:19He hurriedly disguised himself.
10:24I'm a poor little sheep with nowhere to sleep.
10:30Open the door and let me in.
10:35Oh, not by the ears of our tinny tin tin, said the seven dwarfs.
10:41Here, this is a sheep that was lost by Bo Peep. There's a reward out for him. Put him in the cellar.
10:47Then, after a big gingerbread meal, they all went to bed.
10:52Snow White's stepmother, disguised as a witch, crept into the house.
10:57She didn't know Snow White had gone away.
11:00She spied the door to the cellar. It was a perfect place to hide.
11:04But the wolf had got free.
11:07When he saw the witch, he thought she must be Red Riding Hood's granny.
11:10And he would not be cheated again.
11:12With one gulp, he ate her all up.
11:17But his luck was out. With the whole witch in his stomach, he got stuck in the cellar door.
11:22The next morning, Henry's cat and the dwarfs found him still stuck there.
11:26He looked so sheepish, the dwarfs felt sorry for him.
11:30And they made him an official witch hunter, with a badge and everything, just to cheer him up.
11:35Henry's cat, the wandering minstrel, continued on his way.
11:39This time, followed by the wolf.
11:41And before long, they saw a castle.
11:43Oh, wait here. I'll just see if they want any minstrels to sing or witches eaten, said Henry's cat.
11:49Inside the castle, he asked the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker the way to the king.
11:56And finally, ended up at a door at the top of the topmost turret.
12:02Inside, an old woman sat spinning.
12:06Oh, what are you doing? And what's this funny thing?
12:10Inquired Henry's cat, touching the needle of a spinning wheel.
12:14Well, he immediately fell asleep.
12:17Because the old lady was yet another wicked witch, who was expecting the sleeping beauty.
12:22Now, Henry's cat had spoiled it all.
12:25In this castle, Henry's cat and the dwarfs found a witch hunter.
12:28Henry's cat woke up.
12:30Oh, dear. I seem to have overslept by a hundred years.
12:35No wonder I feel hungry.
12:37He made the biggest breakfast ever.
12:40And then, Henry's cat woke up.
12:43Oh, dear. I seem to have overslept by a hundred years.
12:47No wonder I feel hungry.
12:49He made the biggest breakfast ever.
12:52And then, Henry's cat woke up.
12:55Oh, dear. I seem to have overslept by a hundred years.
12:58That was the happiest breakfast he had ever had.
13:01And he thought to himself,
13:03Oh well, one thing about fairy stories, they all have a happy ending.
13:08Oh well, one thing about fairy stories, they all have a happy ending.
13:11Hello, dearie. Do you want to buy our lovelly red apples?
13:13Hello, dearie. Do you want to buy our lovely red apples?
13:15Oh, do they?
13:17Henry's! Henry's cat! You must know Henry's cat!
13:21You must have seen the movie, you must have read the book.
