There's nothing more beautiful than love, which is why the titular "kat" wants to serenade their "darlink" Ignatz. And what better response to a serenade than a brick in the head? That is more or less what happens in this simple animated short from 1916.
Like the title says, the short follows Krazy Kat's attempts to serenade Ignatz Mouse. It starts with Kat flying a plane and then stumbling upon a window he believes belongs to Ignatz. Unfortunately things go wrong in more ways than one.
It is interesting how, as soon as I saw the mouse throwing bricks to the cat, I was reminded of seeing some more "modern" version of this at some point as a child. But anyway, it is fairly simple but fun short. The animation is a bit crude, but very newspaper-like and, for the time, still pretty impressive.
