Additional Credits:
Overview: In a black and white room there is a little short-haired blond girl dressed up in a Cat costume. With pride she smiles into the camera yelling joyfully, "supercat". In the following scene she is dressed in a very cute gardening outfit, complete with a sun hat and long gardening gloves. She is outside in her playhouse, again, smiling into the camera and closing her shutter windows. In the following scene she is laying on a deck with her sunglasses and bathing suit on, soaking in the sun on her towel. She is very fidgety through-out the scene, just trying to get comfortable. In the following scene it is apparent that she is at a cottage. She comes down from the cottage stairs smiling in her life jacket being careful not to trip as she puts on her goggles and heads down the steps to the lake, bare feet and all! As she hops off the deck and down to the pond we are led into the net scene. She is hoping into bed with her cat suit on, a curious look, followed by a smile into the camera as she holds her mask on her forehead to avoid it for falling onto her face. She gets under the blanket. A subtitle "believe" appears in the middle of the screen. She appears to be smoothing out her blanket and just as she finishes we are led into the next scene. Almost immediately a "Dear Super Cat" subtitle appears in the middle of the screen. The same little girl is sitting in front of her vanity pretending to put on make-up and it appears that she is playing "dress-up". Every-time she takes a quick glance into the camera, a huge smile sweeps across her face. She grabs a bottle, tilts her head, and pretends to take a large gulp of coke. Then she looks back at the camera puts her bottle down on the vanity and shows off her pretty grin. In the next scene she is found playing in the bathtub with a rubber whale. She quickly looses interest in the whale and goes for a sea-shell which seems to taste good as she gives it a few good "supercat licks, smiling into the camera as she plays. She quickly regains interest in the whale and as the camera focuses in on her face she decides to use the rubber whale as a cup, pouring water from the whales mouth into her own and putting the whale back into the tub to get more water and repeat the process numerous times. Again, the subtitle "believe" appears in the middle of the scene. The camera focuses in on her with a shot that is eye level to her from just outside the side of the tub. She is happily playing with a toy solider she found in her assortment of bathtub toys. She scrambles to find two more little toy bodies and with two in one hand and one in the other she pretends they are hoping along the side of a tub in with the small toy body in the middle and two larger bodies on each side, appearing to represent a family. Then she pretends that each one dives into the tub, one at a time. In the following scene the same little girl is running through a wide country path surrounded my beautiful leafy trees and shrubs. She is wearing a cute summer dress and her large sun hat. The subtitle "Dear Supercat" appears again. As she runs down the path the camera stays in its place panning as she runs into the distance. The subtitle "believe" appears in the middle of the screen. The same bedroom scene is played again, with the little girl dressed in her Supercat suit. The subtitle "Dear Supercat appears". The screen goes black with background sounds of a a little girls laugh.
