    Henri is so phenomenal, he leaves me speechless. It takes real talent to be tragic and comical at the same time. The person who made this is an artist and a poète maudit.* *chapeau* *

      Hermetic Kitten You might like my surreal cat art, and other works, they combine tragedy, pathos, with a cartoonish hyper reality and humour, BTW, your comments are exquisite and you really get the core of Henri.

      @debrakish9659 3 года назад +3

      Thank you for clarifying this! I've never read the book and never heard this line clearly enough in any of the films to make out the entire sentence that Scrooge said to Marley. i'd wondered about it when Henri said it and now it all makes more sense.

    Stay strong Henri, you have dignity where other cats have lasers to chase. Keep your wisdom to yourself, it goes unappreciated among your kind and unrecognized by humans. Life is cruel but understanding this gives you strength. Do not allow the lie that infiltrates the life of the white cat to touch your soul. You are Henri.

  • @kirkfeather1
    @kirkfeather1 9 лет назад +15

    Difference between the mentality of a dog and that of a cat: when the master/mistress is leaving the house a dog will panic and immediately think "Nooooo... they are leaving me forever! Forever! They're not going to come back! I will never see them again!" The cat, however, calmly thinks: "Great, Duuuude! Got the place to myself! Take you time. Don't let the door hit you on the hiney as you go."

    I'm from Cleveland, Ohio ,where " Christmas Story" was filmed- I LOVE that Henri has a leg lamp "major award" and I am glad that the film was enjoyed there! These videos are fantastic- the mournful French voice overs and Henri's view of life- great viewing, thank you for posting them.

  • @MarcDuhamelify
    @MarcDuhamelify 8 лет назад +8

    I first met Henri while playing the video game "The Purring Quest". I play the game in French, but I initially did not know that the cat he was based on spoke with that accent, I was imagining him with a haughty voice. I love these videos, they make me laugh! Keep up the great work, very creative stuff.

    Henri, you are my best Christmas present! A new Holiday Henri video and I had no idea one was on its way! Absolutely awesome! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Your irony is so effective! Though you proclaim you can only be alone in dreams, you realize you truly need friends. Merry Christmas Henri! Anna

    This is divine, the viewer coming in Henri's hallowed personal dream space, alongside the other cats he feels slightly disdainful of, and his regrets at being this way, maybe as its Xmas in the video. Its so outstandingly original, and as a surreal cat artist myself, and a long haired cat lover, Henri is not only beautiful and soulful looking, like a cat Kate Bush (Cat Bush!), but he's a master of profundity and wit. If only humans were an ounce of this cat.

  • @melissakillion

    Oh man, I love Henri's French! Growing up in Canada with a pretty good amount of French from high school (meaning a lot of French spoken very slowly with North American accents) I think I can understand him better than most French Canadians!

    This was so clever on so many levels. The kittie ghosts of Christmas past present and future and Henri as the unrepentant Scrooge. "Je regrette rien." And as for the "Leg Lamp" from a Cristmas Story ha ha ha. Henri tu est superb! Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee (et au ton famille aussi).

    Very clever...Henri's "A Christmas Carol"!!
    "Perhaps I am too harsh with you. I suppose -- Oh, come on..." says Henri to the "Idiot/Imbecile Blanc" & I almost fell out of my chair!
    I love the three of them on the sofa waiting for the "new & improved" Henri to SHARE his treats...with yogurt or white cottage cheese on his head! GOOD GRIEF!
    My hubby walked in & said, "Oh, is that Henri? I love those videos!" The hubby is much like Henri...so this is HIGH PRAISE, indeed.
    Make some more!

    I must disagree with the comment below regarding Charles Dickens. He was a literary artist of the highest caliber; our dear Henri, a French speaking feline philosopher, is right there with Dickens. That is the brilliance of Henri's artistry! Though he may be a cat, he makes us laugh and makes us cry. If I don't stop watching these videos, I am going to have to attend HA (Henri's Anonymous) classes as I am totally addicted to Henri. Merry Christmas dear Henri, Love, Anna
