Summary: MAGICAL JOURNEY
Review: 40 years later, Disney's charming and whimsical THREE LIVES OF THOMASINA is a must for families to sit down and enjoy together. Grab some Kleenex though---it has some sad moments. Aside from the joy of the wonderful story itself, savor in the marvelous ways these children get along and bond, how they are there for each other. How the people in the village are all friends and share their joys and griefs. Delight in the performances of Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner) and Susan Hampshire (Forsyte Saga); enjoy the children played with gusto and wonder by Karen Dotrice, Vincent Winter and Matthew Garber. THOMASINA is a fable for all ages and in today's world of so-called children's movies (Spy Kid, etc.), an oasis in a desert of mediocrity.

Summary: Yea! Great film and Disney released the DVD in Widescreen!
Review: Finally. Here's a great Disney film that the studio has wisely chosen to release on DVD in a widescreen version. The letterboxing is correctly mild (1.66:1), and is SO WELCOME after, sadly, Disney has released so many of its classics from this era in crappy full-screen cropped versions. Thanks, Disney, for this DVD. Please keep releasing films in their correct aspect ratios...

Summary: The best live action Disney movie EVER!!!
Review: I am so excited that this movie is finally coming out on DVD! "Thomasina" is one of Disney's lesser-known films, but it's definitely one of the best. It's a very touching story about a young girl's relationship with her widowed father and her beloved cat. I will be first in line to purchase this DVD on the day it is released!

Summary: FEY SCOTTISH TALE
Review: I remember watching this little gem on television in Concord, California around 1964! I loved this film as a child and just got my kids the video last night for a peek after some 37 (!) years. It's every bit as charming as Disney's earlier GREYFRIAR'S BOBBY (with Donald Crisp), and, thanks to a strong cast led by Patrick McGoohan and Susan Hampshire, infinitely more enjoyable! The film tells the story of a Scottish veterinarian Andrew MacDhui and daughter Mary, whose affection for a beautiful cat named Thomasina comes between them. When the cat is seriously injured, Mary's father "puts the cat to sleep" but Thomasina is disovered by Lori MacGregor, who nurses the cat back to health. Her love and understanding finally reunite father and daughter in the touching climax. Although the film wasn't a huge box-office success, it was considered one of the best foreign productions released by the Disney studio in the sixties.

Summary: I've always loved Thomasina
Review: I saw this in the theater when I was very little. My dad teased me later when I told him it made me "get a tear in my eye." It still does. I watched it today with my 5-year-old neighbor girl. She said she "loved it." I bought the movie for my son when he was a preschooler. (He particularly loved the scenes with Jodie--the little boy--and the beautiful "witch.") My son 12, and his friend, 10, also watched much of the movie today. There are plenty of scenes that made them laugh. Some parts drag a bit (the father and the vicar had several scenes dull to a child, but important in developing the plot). I was looking for a DVD version because I know that my video has a few scenes slightly edited. The Disney channel version some years back was a little more complete.
I don't think it's so terrible for a child to experience a little human emotion. Yes, the movie has some tear-jerking potential, but it has a happy ending. The 5-year-old didn't shed a tear today. I was just a bit less stoic. I am sentimental about orange tabby cats & have always had at least one . . .

Summary: It's OK
Review: I think this is one of those movies that if you grow up watching it, you will probably really like it, but if you watch it for the first time as an adult, odds are that you will not. I found the main little girl's behavior toward her father irritating; indeed, even creepy at times (like when she says that she killed her father in her mind because she is mad at him). Besides that, the plot seemed very slow and anticlimactical, although since kids don't seem to mind that sort of thing, they will probably like it.

Summary: This is a boring movie!
Review: I watched this movie and I fell a sleep so many times that I can't event count them it was that boring! I can't believe people are giving this five stars and saying it is a good movie because it is so the opposite!

Summary: Execellent, The Excellent.
Review: I watched this movie just by chance on TV, It is superbly done, the story, kids, their actions, feelings, emotions.The Best. After many months passed & my family joined me, I wanted them to watch this movie, Started to search on internet to find full name of the movie. I am sure many will love this old classic, today. Give your kids & family nice gift. Unfortunately, this classic was some how forgotten & we don't see much movie like this one.
