* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The black cat is the "mean", repeatedly pouncing on household objects for the sake of it, the grey cat is the "in-between", only attacking the pie because it thought it had attacked it first (when it splashed him), and the orange cat is the "nice", never making any attempts to pounce on anything.

''Three Orphan Kittens'' is a 1935 animated short film produced by Creator/WaltDisney as one of the WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies. The story, as much as there is a story, concerns the said three kittens, who are chucked out of a car into a cold and snowy night. Fortunately for the kittens they are chucked into the back yard of a house, and they manage to find a way in. Chaos ensues as the three rambunctious kittens do stuff like knocking over china and getting stuck in bottles.
''Three Orphan Kittens'' was directed by David Hand.

!!Tropes:
* {{Bowdlerization}}: The racist gag with the doll (see UncleTomfoolery below) is often cut out of latter-day TV airings.
* CuteKittens: They sure are cute.
* TheFaceless: The faces of the housekeeper and the child aren't seen.
* {{Mammy}}: The servant, who is black and dressed in a standard maid's outfit, with apron. And just to make sure the audience gets it, a lily-white child shows up at the end just as the servant is about to toss the kittens back into the snow.
* NoPlotNoProblem: As with many Silly Symphonies of the day, which were more concerned with mastering the Art of animation, this one doesn't really have a plot. It's basically just eight minutes of cute kittens messing stuff up.
* RuleOfThree: Well there couldn't be ''two'' kittens or ''four'' kittens, could there?
* UncleTomfoolery: A very racist gag in which one of the kittens encounters a little doll that goes "Mama." When the kitten knocks the doll over, it flips up down to reveal a black doll done Uncle Sambo style that rasps "Mammy!".
