Martin Humphreys of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England has a one-eyed cat named Midge he adopted from a rescue center 12 years ago. For five years now, Midge has accompanied Humphreys on his daily run and hates to finish behind him.

When his workplace offered a £1,000 competition for employees to fulfil a dream, he won after proposing a children’s film about Midge’s peculiar talent.
The result, The Great Race, has been selected for the Short Film Corner at Cannes and Mr Humphreys, who wrote, directed and penned the theme song for the eight-minute production, is flying out to the French Riviera to show it to Hollywood executives. It is believed to be the lowest budget offering at the festival – the opening night film, Pixar animation Up, cost $150 million to make.

Johnny Cat, that's why I included the other video report. The trailer is trying to build suspense to make you want to see the whole movie, but I wanted to see the cat run!

Sorry, but the film trailer did not inspire. Where's the meat, the shots of cat running with man? Just looked like a guy running intercut with scenes of the cat just being a cat.
