The Milky Way
Directed by Rudolf Ising
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, MGM Cartoon Studio
A whimsical, visually delightful animated fantasy where three kittens journey through a magical cosmos to a reward of endless milk, suffused with warmth and playful wonder.
The three little kittens have lost their mittens and are sent to bed without dinner. From their room, they see the Milky Way and sail up to it, using a basket and helium balloons, passing through some fanciful astronomical bodies, until they reach a Milky Way filled with every conceivable form of milk.
