Gay Purr-ee (1962)
Member Rating:  
In the wake of the success of Disney's "101 Dalmatians," Warner Brothers has come up with a story about cats called "Gay Purr-ee." This song-filled adventure begins with Mewsette, a rural femme feline longing for the exciting life in Paris. She is kidnapped by some criminal cats. Things look bad until Jaune-Tom and his faithful friend Robespierre discover the crime and claw their way to Mewsette's side in hopes of rescuing the purloined pussy. Judy Garland does the voice of Mewsette, and sings eight songs by Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen. The most memorable is "Paris Is A Lonely Town." Robert Goulet is the voice of Jaune-Tom, with Red Buttons as Robespierre. Other voices are by the legendary Mel Blanc, Hermione Gingold, Paul Frees, Morey Amsterdam, Julie Bennett and Joan Gardner. The superior animation was supervised by Chuck Jones, with the screenplay by Jones and his wife Dorothy. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

I enjoyed this movie very much, and I think that its charm lies in the simple story, and uncomplicated [yet adorable] characters. The plot is quite well thought out, and the tale is one that draws you in, and sometimes makes you laugh. I would definately recommend it for a rainy day with kids. Bottom Line: Rent it for amusement - but not for life-lessons.

This was always one of my all time favorites as a young girl. My two girls enjoyed it just as much. They watched it over and over again. Guess I'll have to purchase it! Thanks!

The cats names are cliche. The music is so-so. The story a little predictable. Yet, it wasn't all bad. The animation is layered over what seems to be paintings which is interesting. The little art lesson in the middle was funny. Yet, the love story seemed faked at some times and pushed at others. Honestly, the best part was the little cat that tagged along.

This was obviously a quick reply to 101 Dalmations, and suffers due to it's thrown together style. The songs are what save the day, especially "Bubbles" and "The Money Cat" The Impressionist scenes and backgrounds are another redeeming quality, although it was an obvious money and time saver. Great educational dialogue on the contemporary European Painters, too!
