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.

The great voices of Judy Garland and Robert Goulet enhance this cute little Cartoon for UPA/Universal Artists, unfortunately, the story is too simplistic and underwhelming, just enjoy the songs.

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.
