"The Sick Kitten" or "The Little Doctor and the Sick Kitten" is a British black-and-white silent short film from the year 1903, so this one is already over 110 years old. The director is George Albert Smith, a very prolific filmmaker from back in the day. And in my opinion, this film here is a very likely contender for his best work. Yes it is not a great achievement with its cinematography or story or so, but it is very enjoyable nonetheless and Smith understood as one of the first that sometimes we do not want to see adventure or drama, but just cuteness and this one here has more than enough of that. It is obviously at its best when we see the little kitten from up close. I must say the boy dressed up as a wizard did not do anything for me and I could have done without him completely. Just show us the girl feeding the kitten. This makes me happy already. I hope it recovered quickly. Highly recommended.
