    I just watched this one with my 9 year-old and we both had to admit that the plot and special effects are pretty bad compared to today's standards so don't compare! Enjoy this tale of a telekenetic cat from another planet who can make people fly and spill their beverages. Its an utterly silly and sweet tale in the old Disney mould and the best part is parents don't have to hold their breath worrying when something objectionable is going to pop up. There's nothing here but goofy fun.

    My husband loved this movie, I hated it. There is no accounting for taste.

    This movie is very well though out. A Cat from another world stranded on this world. However,It's odd that they never have picked-up where they left off.
