When the Cat Comes	comment	When the Cat Comes (also known as The Cassandra Cat; the original Czech title is AÅ¾ pÅ™ijde kocour) is a 1963 Czechoslovak fantasy film directed by VojtÄ›ch JasnÃ½.Life in a town is turned upside down when a traveling circus arrives with a magical cat capable of revealing people's true colors (literally, it turns out). Many of the townspeople resent the cat for outing their unsavory sides, call it dangerous and wish to be rid of it, but the town's children love the cat and protect it. The children are supported by the wise Oliva and their teacher Robert, the latter of whom pursues a romance with the circus' beautiful trapeze artist Diana.

When the Cat Comes / int_48c24da4	type	Significant Double Casting
When the Cat Comes / int_48c24da4	comment	Significant Double Casting: The actor who plays Oliva also plays the magician, with their resemblance being frequently lampshaded both by the two of them and the other characters; it's implied the reason for this might be supernatural, as Oliva spent part of his life traveling with the circus troupe, and he remarks that Diana hasn't grown any older since he last saw her.

When the Cat Comes / int_590c9468	type	Hunting Is Evil
When the Cat Comes / int_590c9468	comment	Hunting Is Evil: In contrast to Robert's friendliness to animals, the school director has a hobby of hunting animals and having them stuffed for his collection. He intends to do the same to Mourek before the cat can show his true colors. Robert directly calls him out for these hobbies, saying that animals are better appreciated while living and killing them to turn them into learning tools is unnecessary now that they can simply be filmed in their natural states.

When the Cat Comes / int_735b4101	type	Colour-Coded for Your Convenience
When the Cat Comes / int_735b4101	comment	Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: When Mourek looks at someone, that person turns one (occasionally more, but it's rare) of four colors that reveal their true nature. Yellow is for people who are unfaithful to their significant others, gray represents thieves, violet is for hypocrites, social climbers, careerists and liars, and red is for people in love (making it the only positive color). People who don't fall in any of these categories don't turn any color.

When the Cat Comes / int_91672d3e	comment	Children Are Innocent: No children are shown turning violet, yellow or gray, meaning the children are not liars, thieves, cheaters or otherwise dishonest. Additionally, the children all want to protect Mourek from the adults who want to either kill him or get rid of him.

When the Cat Comes / int_ba0e3912	comment	Power Nullifier: Putting something over Mourek's eyes prevents him from using his power. His handlers have him wear sunglasses for this purpose, while the townspeople put a sock over his head when they capture him.

When the Cat Comes / int_ca3de41e	comment	Magical Eye: When Mourek looks at someone, that person turns into a color that shows their true nature. Hence why he's given sunglasses to wear; they block this power.

When the Cat Comes / int_cf231d54	comment	Cool Teacher: Robert wants his students' imaginations to flourish and butts heads with the school director over it, as the director's own philosophy is that "imagination is unscientific". The children adore him and fight back against the director when he threatens to have Robert fired.
