Are you kidding? After Sometimes a Great Notion, we clearly needed something animated and innocuous! Actually, I remembered watching this one as a child and being charmed by it. I figured the boys would too.
Specs:
1 1/2 hours, animated; rated G
Our family's average rating on a scale from 1-10:
7.0
More about the film and our reaction to it:
This is charming and sweet, just as I'd remembered it. The story is of a rich woman who has no family, but a "devoted" butler, a cat and the cat's 3 kittens. The woman writes a will leaving her entire estate to the cat, whereupon the butler becomes jealous. He kidnaps the cats and disposes of them out in the country. The cats manage to get away from him and connect with a warm-hearted stray cat and become a team, traveling together. They go on amazing adventures and sing "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat," and do other sweet charming funny things. Its great.
High recommendations for family from us all!
