SummaryGreat Vocals...bad plot
Content
The actors and actresses who are featured as the vocals are superb. However, the plot is so outdated its ridiculous. It is a ripoff of Disney's Aristocats. Unless you are a die-hard Garland fan do not get this movie or even waste money renting it.

SummaryGay Puree - Just like I remember!
Content
Absolutely perfect restoration of a great Judy Garland movie, at least one that she lent her voice to. Garland as "Musette" makes the cutest kitty with a dream. A dream of leaving the farm for the big city, then discovering that the farm life wasn't so bad after all. Juanne Tom (pardon the spelling...it means "yellow tom" in French) is her potential beau, a cat who's voiced by Robert Goulet. Red Buttons is great in the film, also. A fantastic family film. I'd been waiting for years for this to be released.

SummaryWhat a great animated film!
Content
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.

SummaryMust for Garland fans
Content
If you've seen every Judy movie but have shied away from this one because Judy doesn't even appear onscreen in it..well you're in for a sueprise!
Judy as Mewsette is so enchanting, so hysterically funny, so French and so feline! There are sad moments, happy moments..but trust me this is an exceptional effort (especially if you love gorgeou animation) and one worth having in your collection.

Here's my original rave review...

Gay Purr-ee is meowriffic!!!!

I love it!!! The animation is gorgeous, striking and technically brilliant, Walt Disney eat your heart out. I particularly love the visuals with the different artists of the 'gay 90's' in France...Cezanne, Toulouse Lautrec, Seurat, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, etc. Very 'American in Paris', feline style.

Judy's voice is purrfect. As Mewsette, she's very French, very provincial with a touch of Parisian breathlessness, when she sings it's achingly beautiful.

Janune Tom is a honey. And the Money cat is the villain..the scene where the villain is mean is classic. Judy really put on the hysterics.

Funny bits..when she tries to walk with a bowl of milk on her head. And fails. Touches of Gigi.
the buggy ride. 'What's kissing?' 'erm, it's like touching noses' how true.
Chanpagne, Champignons and Champs Elysees. Bad American French. What'll you'll have? Milk? No make it Cream! How about...bubbles? And the cats actually get drunk.

Am I the only one who appreciates this film???

Put Gay Purree up there with Wizard of Oz on the shelf. You won't be disappointed.
