Dec 20: Christmas Presence (Simon’s Cat)
The adorable, devious Simon’s cat is back with one thing on his mind – Christmas snacks! Of course, Santa is not going to let those naughty kitty antics go unnoted. In this two-part series, cute kittyness meets its just deserts.
Simon says:
Interesting moment, fact or point of inspiration from your production:
The idea came from a doodle for a Simon’s Cat diary, in which the cat had mugged Santa to search his sack for food. And I really liked this idea and was delighted when I figured out a way of turning it into a film.
Most memorable Christmas moment:
My favoruite Christmas memory is when I got a Lone Ranger and Tonto action figure playset, which my dad left for me outside my bedroom door. The weird thing about that was I remember it like yesterday, but when I saw a photo of me holding one of the figures I didn’t realize how young I was at the time.
At the top of the Christmas list:
Looking forward to having some time off and spending it with friends and family, including my four cats Jess, Maisy, Hugh and Teddy.
