影片制作
短片系列中的第一部《亨利》Henri是威廉·布莱登在西雅图电影学院读书时拍摄的电影报告。[1] 布莱登的灵感是来自于一般美国人对法国电影的看法。 “法国电影给人的感觉是非常矫揉做作又本位主义的...可是谁又能比得过家猫更会故作风雅顾影自怜?”[1]
影片是由布莱登写稿，布莱登的母亲帮忙纠正法语发音以及润稿。[1] 亨利 是在11天内完稿, 拍摄, 剪接和配音而成的。[2]

评价
Film critic Roger Ebert called Henri 2, Paw De Deux "The best internet cat video ever made."[14][15] Boing Boing's science editor Maggie Koerth-Baker also called Henri 2, Paw De Deux "The best cat video on the Internet".[16] The Atlantic reviewed the short film as "a little bit arty, a little bit cheeky, decisively feline in focus ... it's perfect. Or, er, purrfect."[17]
The Huffington Post, in reviewing Henri 3, Le Vet, called Henri "almost like a feline Serge Gainsbourg, just without the singing, or the alcoholism, or the public scandal. Or maybe he's not like that at all. Maybe Henri, is, as he so eloquently states in his latest film, his 'own cat.'"[18]
