The Cat with Hands
Short British horror film, released in 2001. A mixture of live-action and stop-motion animation, it was written, directed, and animated by Robert Morgan.

Tropes used in The Cat with Hands include:
- And I Must Scream
- Based on a Dream: The director has said that the film was inspired by recurring nightmares that his sister had when she was young, about a cat with hands that caused people to convulse. He changed the story up a bit, but the surreal, dreamlike quality of the film is true to its origins.
