While "The Cat Came Back" may just look like a cartoon at face value, I see a connection to a historical event: the 1914 Christmas Truce. Several soldiers fighting in WWI were charging at each other, when they suddenly stopped; they began to see each other not as enemies, but as fellow human beings.
Of course, I'm probably reading way too far into the cartoon. I'm sure that it was intended as silly entertainment to precede a feature film. As this was during the early days of Warner Bros. animation, we shouldn't expect any of the totally wacky things that would characterize their work within the next few years. Worth seeing, if only once.
