I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very best movie i ever watch

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

"The Pet" is a 12-minute cartoon from 1921, so this one is already 95 years old. It is an entry to American animation pioneer Winsor McCay's "Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend" series and it's possibly the best one. I was tempted for a while to give this one a 6 out of 10, but I will say shortly why I decided not to. Of course, this is a black-and-white silent film still. There are two stories in here. The frame includes a man and woman lying in bad and the man has eaten a rarebit (a toast full of baked cheese, I had to check that) before sleeping and we get to see his nightmare that resulted from the meal. His woman takes in a tiny pet and keeps feeding it until it becomes bigger. Bad news is it won't stop growing and at the very end it is about as big as a dinosaur and wreaks havoc in the city. I liked the way the creature looked I must say, but I also think that the story is so simple that it is almost not enough for over 10 minutes. I also did not like the way they got back to reality at the very end showing us the couple, but only very briefly. Nobody says something, nobody does something and the film is over. This is a very early example of a dream sequence in film, something that is used very frequently nowadays. All in all, it was a good cartoon for its time I guess, but I would only recommend it to film historians because there are indeed some flaws in here.

The Pet is another entry in Winsor McCay's animated series Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend. In this one, a man has just eaten a rarebit of the title. His wife has warned him about having bad dreams for doing so to no avail. As he dreams, we see outside of the house a small animal that's hard to identify but-according to the word put on screen-says, "Meow." The woman picks him up and decides to keep him. She gives him a bath and feeds him milk on a saucer a little bigger than him. After he's done, however, he becomes a little bigger than the bowl which turns over on his entire body as he leans his head forward. He later eats a cat under the table and then an electric lamp on it (and doesn't even get electrocuted!). The husband then goes to the store to get a barrel of rat poison in order to kill this "pet". After the pet eats it, he develops some splotches on his body but they disappear quickly as he keeps growing. He eventually grows as tall as the tallest building in the city as more than dozens and dozens of planes appear and shoot him to pieces as the man finally wakes up...As always, McCay gives great detail in backgrounds that make you almost forget you're watching animation. Many humorous touches throughout as when the "pet" swallows a hose before spewing water through a neighbor's window at a neighbor! And that final sequence with all those pieces of the "pet" falling down. Wow! As with anything that McCay has done, The Pet is certainly essential viewing for animation fans.

While this cartoon isn't as innovative as some of Winsor McCay's earlier works (such as LITTLE NEMO and GERTIE THE DINOSAUR), this later McCay film is still quite impressive when seen today. Compared to other early animations, it is a real treat because the shading and backgrounds are so well made and show a lot of care. Plus, the story is really weird and it also packs a lot of charm. As a result, here in the 21st century, it STILL is pretty watchable and exciting to watch--at least for Cinephiles and history lovers (like me).By the way, his "rarebit" films have all seemed to imply that eating cheese causes bad or at least weird dreams! I gotta check it out and see if he was right!

Based on McCay's cartoon strip, DREAMS OF THE RAREBIT FIEND, this concerns a tiny creature that eats everything and grows until it threatens the entire city. A seminal work, its influence shows up in Heinlein's novel THE STAR BEAST, Tex Avery's KING SIZE CANARY and in the final sequence of KING KONG! Bizarre and brilliant!
