Cel animation. Mehukatti means “juice kitten” in Finnish. The product, and the story of a kittens’ picnic, are aimed at children.

A cat sits on a picnic rug in a meadow, basket and filled glasses beside it. Two cats tumble together through grass and dandelion clocks. A standing cat holds out a jug of orange juice and raises one paw. Two cats sit facing each other on the grass, both laughing. A cat drinks through a straw under red MEHUKATTI lettering, oranges either side. A grey cat drinks on a red sunburst, MEHUKATTI arched above, blackcurrants either side.

Heard in the film: “Lasten oma mehu on Mehukatti verraton. Janon sammuttaa. Ja mehukkaaksi olon saa. Aina maistuu Mehukatti, se on ihan matti Mehukatti. Aina maistuu Mehukatti, se on ihan matti Mehukatti.”
