Easy Monet

When Lavinia discovers that "the great example of modern art" was painted by Old Tom, she takes it to a local gallery owner, who offers to exhibit and sell Old Tom's paintings, and to give Lavinia half the money. Lavinia greedily asks Old Tom to paint four more paintings, but he will only do so if she does something for him in return. Lavinia, desperate, agrees. As she runs around after Old Tom- buying him gifts, giving him treats, etc.- Angela feels left out. On the day of the exhibition, Old Tom happens to be passing the gallery and, seeing all the food, bursts in and makes a pig of himself. When the art patrons realize that this is the painter, they think that it's a joke, and they don't buy his paintings. Old Tom doesn't mind. He takes the paintings home for Angela, and Lavinia doesn't get a penny.

"Oh, don't you think that might possibly be a little bit too much Old Tom?" says Angela when she sees the terrible mess her beloved Old Tom has made. Based on the books by Leigh Hobbs, this series brings the most intolerable, disastrous and most amusing of animated cats to the screen. Orange, one-eyed Old Tom and his adoptive "mother," the delightful and rather eccentric Angela, make one of the most surprising couples in the history of love stories.
