Kids Flix Mix 2 - Ethan Schmieder's Review

4/13/13 - By LACFFCRITICS

Ethan Schmieder is 9 years old and a student in the third grade. Kids Flix Mix 2 is a collection of shorts; Ethan has reviewed The Extinction of the Saber-toothed Housecat:

This was my favorite cartoon. The cat is doing all the things that cats do: eat, play, stretch, be lazy, chase butterflies. The music with the meteor meant something scary was going to happen and then they go to the cat and he is playing. I would see this again with my friends. I did not like the Grandma Tree one and the one with the guy who takes off his head. Those were creepy. They didn't make sense and made me scared.

The Extinction of the Saber-toothed Housecat plays as part of Kids Flix Mix 2 on May 4, 2013, at 11am at The Aero Theatre. Buy tickets in advance through this link to make a donation to the school of your choice.
