Well, there's no cat in a space helmet in Sam & the Flying Saucer Pirates or Sam Flies to the Moon, so it must be some other weird series. Though I don't know of any other diorama style reels that were space-based. Most of them were fairy tales.

Nice. I pledged him some dough, but it doesn't look like he's going to make that deadline.

Shit, how did he get half the funding in a few days? Now I have to make good on my pledge and buy that thing. Damn internet.

I'm pretty sure that cat was wearing a space helmet, but I'm positive he was stepping out of a rocketship and onto either the Moon or Mars. Or maybe I just hallucinated the whole thing?

Could this be some super rare reel that only a few people remember but no one can find now, the Write magazine of 3D?

It could be. But as you might guess, the reel collectors are an obsessive bunch. Their lists are pretty comprehensive. But I'm sure the space cat that you remember is out there. I know I would like to see a diorama reel of a space cat, so if I ever come across it I'll let you know.

Thanks. If I can find out the series name and reel title, I'll try to buy a copy on eBay. I'd love to see it again. I was a kid when I had it, in the 1950s or early 60s.
