Fuddles

From Disney animator Frans Vischer comes the story of Fuddles, a lazy housecat who finally sneaks out for the first time in his life and gets wrapped up in an adventure he never expected!

Fuddles is a fat, lazy housecat who’s never been in the Great Outdoors. One day, his humans leave the door open a crack and Fuddles seizes the chance to slip out, but things aren’t quite as he expected. In a series of hilarious mishaps, including a run-in with the neighborhood dog, he realizes that life as he’d known it was actually pretty good. Told with deadpan humor and charming art, Fuddles is sure to steal readers’ hearts.

Frans Vischer's family immigrated from Holland to America when he was eleven years old. Frans spoke no English, but where language failed him, his drawings helped him communicate.
 
When he was thirteen Frans was invited to visit the Disney Studio,and was encouraged to make his own animated films. With a recommendation from legendary Warner Bros. cartoon director Chuck Jones, Frans was accepted at Cal Arts, and in 1981 he was hired by the Disney Company.  Since then he's worked on such films as "Frozen," "The Princess and The Frog," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" "The Road To El Dorado," and most recently, "Mary Poppins Returns." 
 
Frans, his wife and three kids live in Glendale, California.
