DVD Reviews of Gay Purr-ee

DVD Review: Childhood memories re-visited
Summary: 5 Stars

This is such a fantastic childhood memory. With all the hustle and bustle of adult life, it was refreshing to watch this movie with my granddaughter. She loved it, so, the next generation will "grow up" with this type of simple, fun. It is well worth getting and sharing with others, especially little people.

DVD Review: Cutest movie........
Summary: 4 Stars

Never knew this existed when I was a kid, but listen & you'll hear Robert Goulet & Judy Garland doing cartoon voices! Another older classic cartoon that my family enjoys over & over again....

DVD Review: Childhood favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie was one of my favorite animated films as a young child. Judy Garland and Robert Goulet give stellar vocal performances as Mewsette and Jean Tom. The music is upbeat, the animation is whimsical, the characters are charming, and the story is engaging.
Gay Purr-ee has stood the test of time in our house, giving our family over 20 years of enjoyment. This movie has something for everyone. Definitely a classic.

DVD Review: Gay Puree
Summary: 3 Stars

An old favorite of mine when I was young-It was just as much fun to see it now as it was then! The characters in this cartoon are great. It was wonderful to hear the voices of Judy Garland [as Mewsette], Robert Goulet [as Jaune Tom] and Red Buttons [as Robespiere]. For those of you who are used to the animation available today it won't be nearly as much fun. But for nostalgia buffs [circa 1962] a definte must see!

DVD Review: Problem with DVD
Summary: 3 Stars

I ordered two of these. One for a gift. One came with a DVD and the other had no DVD inside. Amazon very kindly and quickly sent me another copy. It again had no DVD.
Amazon decided to refund my money(which was fine) as they felt there was a problem with this product rather than try for the third time.

I gave the DVD to my grandkids and am hanging on to my VHS version! It is a great movie--great story---hilarious in parts for both young and old. Highly recommend but be sure to open the DVD case upon delivery to make sure the DVD is indeed inside!!!

Description of Gay Purr-ee

Magnificent. That's the voice of Judy Garland. Magnifique. That's Gay Purr-ee, a charming animated musical featuring the great Garland in one of her final roles. She's the singing and speaking voice of Mewsette, a French country cat who runs off to Paris during the Gay '90s. Director: Abe Levitow

This little gem has the pedigree of a purebred Persian: it features voices of no less than Judy Garland and Robert Goulet, the original songs of Wizard of Oz composers Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, and the writing talents of animation giant Chuck Jones. Garland gives life to our young heroine, Mewsette, a naive country kitty who runs off to seek the bright lights of Gay '90s Paris; Goulet is her devoted country bumpkin beau, Jaune-Tom, who sets off to find her (accompanied by the scrappy kitten Robespierre). While in Paris, Mewsette falls prey to the dastardly yellow-eyed Meowrice, and his compatriot, Madame Rubens-Chatte (played with hilarious swagger by Hermione Gingold), who runs a cathouse of ill repute off the Champs ?lys?es. The story is slim, itself a bit of an homage to Oz: country girl longs to spread her wings, leaves home, and has many adventures, only to discover that there's no place like home. But the stylized look of the film is breathtaking--the French countryside looks like miles and miles of Vincent Van Gogh's sensual Arles--and Garland and Goulet are in fine voice. If you love surreal animation, Judy Garland, cats, or Paris--or any combination thereof--this film will have you purring. --Anne Hurley
