Peter-No-Tail in Americat
Peter-No-Tail in Americat is a 1985 Swedish animated film based on stories about the tail-less cat Pelle Svanslös by Gösta Knutsson. The film is a sequel to the 1981 animated film Peter-No-Tail, and is known in Sweden for its extremely surreal content.
Plot
Peter-No-Tail (Pelle Svanslös) is a cat without a tail, being bit off by a rat when he was a kitten. He compensates for this by studying hard, and much to the dismay of his arch-rival Magnus (Måns), he receives a high university degree that few cats in the university town of Uppsala, Sweden, have obtained. In the movie, he is visited by his American relative Pelle Swanson, who invites him to visit his new home country, the United States, in the movie called Americat. There everything is bigger; even the rats are much fatter.
