Three Orphan Kittens is a 1935 animated short film in the Silly Symphonies series produced by Walt Disney Productions. It was the winner of the 1935 Oscar for Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons). It was followed in 1936 by a sequel, More Kittens.

Production

Story development on the film started in February of 1934, with inspiration coming from the iconic nursery rhyme Three Little Kittens and from strangers who dropped stray cats near the Disney Hyperion Studio. The short was also given the production # of US 30 with a temporarily working title "Three Little Kittens".

Bob Wickersham: Everything in the beginning until the kittens get on the kitchen table, and kittens playing in the nursery.

Ham Luske: Kittens on the piano until the end.

Ken Anderson: Furniture and walls in the three-dimensional scenes (Bob animated the kittens in those sequences).

Photography for the film started in August 31 and lasted until October 3 of 1935, and the film was finished and delivered on October 15 of the same year.
