"My thumbs are not opposable. Yet I oppose everything."
Deep
My dearest condolences, Will, on the loss of dear Henri. He stole our hearts and gave them back to us. Au revoir to the loveliest cat ever.
Henri passed? 😭 Just started watching his videos Nov 2020.
HENRI'S DEAD?!?!?!?!?
nooooooo!!!
@@irvhh143 "cats owner" is an oxymoron anyway
No one _owns_ a cat
NOOOO rest in peace Henri
-a French Learner in America :(
Henri's store raised over $5000 for various animal welfare organizations and local shelters in 2012. Does that make the videos taste sweeter?
yes
Oui
Yay Henri and henris owner have done a really good job for the world^^
Cool name man...
@@hotwateronwool LOL
So sorry to hear about Henri. He was the best cat on the internet, by far. Rest in peace little guy.
I imagine him smoking a cig outside a café in Paris at nighttime with a latte and it’s just an internal monologue of his thoughts.
Yes! All the while brooding and muttering to himself, "my ass is twitching....you people make my ass twitch!"
@@belindamoore3518 I love that movie. More than it deserves
@@jgarceau3285 what movie ?
@@DiavoloGrenadine French Kiss
i searched existential crisis and this came up
+Nicole Beltran I hope you have found your answer
I had looked up existentialist poetry
There is no answer.....la vie, c'est un Chat Noir, rien de plus.
Je suis perdu...
LOL! Don't worry: it beats Sartre and Camus any day of the week.
Whenever I'm depressed, I watch Henri to remind myself how fortunate I am...that my life is not nearly as unbearable as his...wretched, wretched soul...
:(
Came back to view the original after learning of Henry's passing. Requiescat in pace, chat noir.
I come back to this video every couple of years. It's a classic 💕 thank you Henri
"my thumbs are not opposable... yet I oppose everything" made me laugh the most
"It seems I was made to suffer", he says, standing over the corpse of his friend. That he killed.
Will Braden, I have never laughed so much as I have at Henri - truly, you are genius. The grainy photography, composition, back music....it is so incredibly perfect... Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world...indeed, millions of hits! Bravo!
I've only just realized how close "Henri" sounds to "ennui". Genius!
+Peter Brown what is ennui?
+Yonzo Rikuo "Ennui" is extreme boredom and listlessness.. Just like Henri has!
+Peter Brown I didn't notice till you pointed it out it. Thank you, just one more reason to love these films.
Henri, le chat noir, suffers greatly from ennui...he has a video about it, too, I believe.
oui.
My cat Coda recommended that I watch this video. He said it would give me a better sense of the existential crisis that all cats must endure.
My cat Harli watched this (or rather sat in front of it very patiently for two minutes and stared at the screen). Her reaction was the cutest thing. She had her paws folded the whole time and she started purring at the end. Je crois que Harli et Henri sont des âmes soeurs.
This film is a masterpiece. I came to rewatch it, hearing of Henry's demise. So clever and creative to use what you had at hand, without the need for a crew, a cast of actors and extras -- just the star magnifique, Henri! The music selection and titling are perfect, and your French, well, way better than mine. Repose en paix, Henri.
Rest in peace, sweet Henri. ❤️
I bear the pain of unrequited love for Henri. Don't we all?
Be strong!
me too sister.
Henri is my spirit animal
thanks for the kind words, I'm glad Henri is still making people chuckle! oh, and watch out for Henri on CNN next weekend. I was interviewed about the film, and they're gonna show part of it and part of my interview. fun stuff!
Love the use of Gymnopédies. Not only is it truly French but it fits the mood perfectly.
Gymnopedies ?
Ryan Smith The song playing in the background
+Jeremy Morgan Thank you for that tidbit.
Thanks to you, Wikipedia, and RUclips, I have learned of this style of music and of the French composer Erik Satie. And yes, Will Braden chose the best genre of music which fits Henri's moods perfectly.
jealously
Such simple, elegant, and beautiful pieces, the gymnopedies.
"my thumbs are not apposable, yet I oppose everything"
I'M DYING
J
RIP Henri. Thanks to you and Will for the wonderful memories.
Rest in peace Henri
RIP, dear Henri.
RIP, Henri.
I just revisited Henri and learned he died last year. I know 17 is a long life for a cat, but I'm sorry to see him go. He was loved as a kitty cat rock start
Rest in peace, tuxedo friend 🌈
Rest in peace, Henri.
Henri brought so much laughter and joy into my heart. Every time I watch these videos. Thank you, Will and Henri 💖
He will be missed. Thank you, Mr. Braden.
"I am made to suffer, but aren't we all?" Soooooo profound, Henri!
Just watched this video again after many, many years. My dad - who died in 2016 - loved this video too.
Started to cry when I reminisced about all the times my Dad and I discussed, laughed, joked, and debated the philosophical musings of
Henri.
Thank you, Mr. Braden, for posting all of your Henri videos. God bless!
My cat Alfie is shown this film but turns away in disdain. He does not care for the black cat Henri. Alfie will not stay and jumps from my lap, but leaving a large scratch on my leg. So it is with some cats... Je suis désolée.
Maybe Alfie cannot bear to look at Henri because Henri reminds him of himself and it's too painful for him to watch.....Poor Alfie....
Still here 16 years later, still remember Henri!
I remember Henri from the days these videos were new. Something last night reminded me of them and so I looked them up again.
This entire series is absolutely brilliant!! Thank you for sharing your creativity Will Braden!!
"My thumbs are not opposable. Yet I oppose everything."
Genius.
So sorry to hear of Henri's passing.
Just saw this on BBC News. You'll suddenly get a lot more views. I hope so. It's brilliant.
Are you serious? I had no idea!! Are you sure? You are the first person to mention this out of millions of people watching Henri's videos! I honestly thought the French was perfect, and perfectly pronounced. This news comes as a bit of a shock! Maybe I should write some sort of English translation and put it at the bottom of the video. Do you think that would help?
Thanks for the English Translation
Music - Gymnopédie No.1 by Erik Satie
Thanks!

i cried. this just brought me to tears. going to hug my cat now.
I am carefully studying each of the Henri le chat videos so I can have the proper appearance of disdain for my fellow passengers while riding on the Paris metro next spring.
As a french student, our teacher showed this in class, saying, "The french is bad on purpose, most likely Google translate french. But that's what makes it funny!"
How about some English lessons? You can't say "As a French student, our teacher showed this". It says that your teacher is a student.
How about dialing it down and not being so rude and nit picky. We knew what this person meant.
@@PurpleSilk We do, but it's still subtly jarring to read and have to second-guess. Though probably not worth Paula pointing it out.
@@paulatiredofthisshit What are you talking about, it's perfectly fine. "As a French student, (I am saying that) our teacher showed this." The part in the parentheses can be omitted and the meaning is obvious.
Maybe he's Canadian?
I looked this video up because I saw a Christopher Walken interview and while they were talking about Walken's own cat, he told the interviewer to look up "Henri the Cat" because he loved it so much. Walken said it is a cat having an existential crisis. :D Thanks for the tip, Christopher!
Who relates more to Henri post quarantine?! 🙋🏻♀️
I've watched so many cat videos on RUclips, it seem like after all this time the universe has rewarded me with the highest level of cat videos: existential.
*hears the opening notes of gymnopedies*
"this is going to be good"
Every time I sink into the pit of despair, I watch this and laugh.
This feels more relevant in 2020
RIP, sweet Henri 🕯️🐾. Never forgotten! 🫶😼
Henri, le chat noir, there was no other cat like you!
For the Love of God---seriously folks, I have not laughed as hard at any you tube clip more than HenriI am so grateful!
Henri died? Oh my gosh. I haven’t checked this site in a long time, but the Zhenjiang films are so brilliant. I’ve just come back to watch again. Will- what you did was fantastic. Henri…..
"My thumbs are not opposable and yet I oppose everything!" hahaha Brilliant line. hahaha
"At last,someone who speaks French"
French writer Collette,on meeting a cat on the streets of New York.
So saddened to hear that Henri has gone over the rainbow bridge. This feline, who I never had the pleasure of knowing in person (his preference I'm sure), brought me hours upon hours of joy and comfort. Farewell, sweet boy.
I so love Henri, he makes me so depressed! C'est la vie!
I have just discovered Henri and find this all hysterically funny. I guess I've watched too many foreign films. So funny!!
holy shit what is this and why havent i found it sooner
+Adam Fox (Jake English) You found it sooner than I did!
And what shall *I* say, please...
Just think, I only found it today. But it makes no difference. The dust, the lights. Life would be the same either way...shadows on the walls.
Sometimes when I need a lift I look at Henri’s videos and it helps. Thank you for making these, I always feel better after watching one of his videos.
I love all the Henri videos, I love cats, and he is such a good actor, just look his face, he is talking without words. They are my favorites.
RIP Henrí
Why is this not HUGELY POPULAR?!! 🤣❤
"My thumbs are not opposable, yet, I oppose everything." Hahahahaha
You were a good cat, Henri 💜
Absolutely brilliant.....existentialism through the eyes of a cat...this is amazing work!
amazing how the general tone (or accent) sounds so french yet u pronounced every word wrong
I never get tired of watching these.
RIP Henri
That. Was. Beautiful.
"My thumbs are not opposable, yet I oppose everything.". Pure genius.
"The pen of my aunt is on the table."
It's a silly sentence once used in old French textbooks, for translation practice.
Rest In Peace, Henri. You are already missed. :-(
You do not see me for the beauty that I am. I am merely...cute.
His French pronunciation makes it charming. It's all just quite charming and beautifully done Monsieur. Bravo.
Henri, mon petit ami, I feel your pain, I live your life. Ah, the ennui of it!
I just found this today,and I think it is wonder
ful!!!Brilliant!Thank you
I love cats, I love gymnopedie... I must be in heaven
They get better and better. I love #2 so far the best. Very clever takeoff on existential french films. LOVE IT!
Love it!! Can't believe I had never heard about Henri before now. BTW...I found him by a RUclips list of 13 cats that justify the internet. Now I have to check out all the others. Very good short film...wouldn't surprise me if Henri got picked up by Sundance.
He has many videos, check out his page!
Tanya Briggs I found of a TV show on discovery channel ;)
OMG!!! I don't get tired of watching Henri's videos... I wish my cat had that little cute french accent :)
amazing
I am so sorry for your loss of Henri and I'm glad that you've decided to keep the Spirit alive. I love your videos keep them coming.
"Je suis Henri" is so very much like "je suis ennui." Bien.
I love Henri! This whole series is wonderful! Thank you!
Henri is an American cat that identifies with the French attitude and poses as French even though he has to fake it. American's do that a lot.
I purchased the book, Henri Le Chat Noir, in 2013 and it is one of my favorite books on cats because I, too, have an existentialist tuxedo cat. My sincere condolences for the loss of Henri.
I don't mind at all, I love it. Thank you for doing it! La ironía es que en realidad puedo hablar español. Estudié en la Universidad de Salamanca en España. Mi francés, por otro lado, es atroz.
Très très atroz! That's what makes it even greater.
Hubiera sido genial un video de Henri como Enrique. Mi sentido pésame por la pérdida de nuestro amado Henri.
I first heard this elegant, wistful mewzik in my summer school orchestra class way, way back in 1962 and I have always loved it, just as I have loved all chats and adore Henri!
Repose en paix, cher Henri.
One of my favorite songs... I could play it over and over
You have officially Made It! Henri has been parodied on the latest episode of My Little Pony!
+Lucius1958 OH! Do you remember what ep?
Now I feel my life empty... Thanks Henri! Now I can begin changing
I too, keep accidentally killing all my friends.
C'est la vie
A garden and a palace for Henri! I just love it! And I have got to stop watching these videos but I am totally addicted to Henri! God Bless, Anna
Je vis une vie de luxe, mais je ronronne rarement. AWESOME!
Today I learned that Cole died (Cole and Marmalade). I tried to remember the other cat I followed. It was Henri. I loved him very much. He made me laugh. Henri will not die. I will always b able to watch his videos.
Happy Bastille Day Henri !
Rest in power.
watching this feel like watching A list movies
