I'm gonna post this because it's kind of like a live-action Tom & Jerry. There's a scene where they get a crazy, out-of-control cat to hunt the comically smart mouse. The mouse tricks the cat into jumping into a dumbwaiter and it snaps and falls into the shaft, therefore "defeating" the crazy cat.
But as a kid, I thought that cat fucking died and I was horrified. Nobody brought up the cat again, we never see it, the house eventually gets flooded and destroyed and I assumed the cat was still stuck in the shaft while the house is being destroyed.
As a kid, I loved animals so the idea that a cat got stuck in a tiny elevator shaft and then drowned and died upset me for years.
