This animated musical concerns Mewsette (Judy Garland), a starry-eyed cat who grows weary of life on a French farm and heads for the excitement of 1890s Paris. Her tomcat suitor, Jaune-Tom (Robert Goulet), and his furry cohort, Robespierre (Red Buttons), chase after Mewsette, but she's already fallen under the spell of a feline modeling-school racket run by the plump Madame Rubens-Chatte (Hermione Gingold) and her slimy assistant, Meowrice. Can Mewsette avoid corruption in the big city?

The film could have used much more innovation.

It's so brightly colored that the simple act of looking at it remains pleasurable even when the story vanishes into an insubstantial puff of smoke.

Mediocre songs, so-so animation...but it has Garland and Goulet singing.

I love this movie! I think the animation itself is unique and who could ask for any one better than Judy Garland? The money cat henchmen are my favorite animated cats of all time!

One of my favorite childhood movies! The animation is beautiful and unique, most of the songs are good and catchy, and sung by Judy Garland and Robert Goulet so they are very well produced. I like the story as well. It will definitely be a movie I'll show to my future kids.

Gay Purr-ee has a couple of solid musical numbers, some good scenes and a couple of inspired animated moments, but the overall animation, although obviously featuring solid designs and scenery, felt unfinished and cheap, the characters are not the greatest, the voice acting is quite poor and most of the songs were weak leading to a pretty weak Warner Bros. animated effort.

A major disappointment. This is cheap animation and the story was also a wreck. You will be bored within minutes. Even the songs were bad, which is shocking for a Judy Garland movie. (First and only viewing - 8/6/2014)
