Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Gay Purr-ee" is a very charming film that is sure to delight the whole family. It is cleverly and artfully presented, with Chuck Jones' trademark Looney Tunes-esque animation, and a sweet little story, which, though rather slim, holds the viewer's interest for every single one of its eighty-six minutes. It also showcases some of the best vocal talent in town: Judy Garland, Robert Goulet, Red Buttons, Paul Frees, and Hermione Gingold. The story is simple: French country farm cat Mewsette (Garland, using clever vocals) is bored with her dull and listless existence, and leaves her home, her ardent suitor Jaune-Tom (Goulet, also in excellent voice), and friend Robespierre (Buttons, whose squeaky characterizations are pefect for his diminutive character). Once in Paris, the naive Mewsette meets up with cunning Meowrice (Frees, perfectly diabolic) and Madame Rubens-Chatte (Gingold, also with interesting vocals), who plan to make a little money by making Mewsette into a courtesan, then selling her off to a fat old tabby cat in Pittsburgh who wants a wife. But Jaune-Tom and Robespierre are hot on their tails... The movie is also blessed with a splendid songbook by E.Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen, who gave you the score of "The Wizard of Oz". Children will enjoy the film's story and characters, and adults will certainly be amused by familiar voices and the film's light sophistication. No doubt about it: "Gay Purr-ee" is one to see and take pleasure in, for it is abundant in this charming animated classic.

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
