Rating: Summary: GAY PURR-EE WILL HAVE YOU PURRING WITH DELIGHT! Review: "Gay Purr-ee" is a very charming film that is sure to delight the whole family. It is cleverly and artfully presented, with Chuck Jones' trademark Looney Tunes-esque animation, and a sweet little story, which, though rather slim, holds the viewer's interest for every single one of its eighty-six minutes. It also showcases some of the best vocal talent in town: Judy Garland, Robert Goulet, Red Buttons, Paul Frees, and Hermione Gingold. The story is simple: French country farm cat Mewsette (Garland, using clever vocals) is bored with her dull and listless existence, and leaves her home, her ardent suitor Jaune-Tom (Goulet, also in excellent voice), and friend Robespierre (Buttons, whose squeaky characterizations are pefect for his diminutive character). Once in Paris, the naive Mewsette meets up with cunning Meowrice (Frees, perfectly diabolic) and Madame Rubens-Chatte (Gingold, also with interesting vocals), who plan to make a little money by making Mewsette into a courtesan, then selling her off to a fat old tabby cat in Pittsburgh who wants a wife. But Jaune-Tom and Robespierre are hot on their tails... The movie is also blessed with a splendid songbook by E.Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen, who gave you the score of "The Wizard of Oz". Children will enjoy the film's story and characters, and adults will certainly be amused by familiar voices and the film's light sophistication. No doubt about it: "Gay Purr-ee" is one to see and take pleasure in, for it is abundant in this charming animated classic.

Rating: Summary: The greatest cartoon ever made Review: A wonderful musical cum cartoon that pokes fun at many of Disney's creations while outclassing them all. Multi layered plot can be enjoyed by all in the family, from 1 to 99 years old. Unquestionably the greatest masterpiece of the cartoonist's art.
Rating: Summary: A Hard Sell Review: Although Garland, Goulet, and Gingold offer clever vocals, this particular animated film will find few fans. Visually static and possessed of a remarkably slim story line, it will be hard sell to all but the youngest of children and is really of interest only to hard-core Garland enthusiasts.
Rating: Summary: Dull or not, this movie's cute Review: Despite whatever the critics may say, this movie is fun to watch. Okay, so it may not have power, and it may not have Disney's charm(which they're rapidly losing), but this movie's quite all right to pull out every once in a while. It doesn't have anything that kids may take the wrong way, and the songs are simply delightful. Little Drops of Rain is nice. For animation buffs and young kids alike. Especially for fans of the Loony Toons.
Rating: Summary: I absolutely love this movie! Review: Ever since I saw this movie I have loved it! My friend and I rented it one night and have loved it ever since. I love the plot. Basically, a cat named Mewsette(Judy Garland) leaves her devoted friend, Jeane Tom, and her home on the farm. She wants to go to Paris. When she gets there, she is tricked by the bad guy, Meowrice. Jeane Tom and his buddy Robespierre spend most of the movie looking for Mewsette. I won't tell you any more because that would spoil it. This movie is absolutely hilarious! I find myself rolling every time I watch it! The only thing I don't like about it is when Meowrice sings. Aaah! It is really wierd. I wish they would change the title, though. Well, times have changed and you don't want kids running around saying "Gay Purr-ee." Other wise, it is a great movie!
Rating: Summary: What a great animated film! Review: I do not think that this film could hold the attention of the majority of Ed, Edd and Eddy-addicted children out there, but it really is a treat for the rest of us. With its great show-tune musical (how could you not appreciate the power behind Garland's voice?!) numbers and artsy backgrounds/animations, I found Gay Pur-ee to be thoroughly amusing. It's definitely vintage, so if you're pining for action-packed Power-Ranger slop or new-ish Disney wit, this is not a film for you.
