A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

France is a beautiful country or I will simply say, "La France est Belle". One must explore the beauty of the other side of the country, you just got to find the right connections. But this film is from the cat's eye view. Voiced by the wonderful actors and actresses, this animated movie is magnificent in a way. You got Judy Garland, Robert Goulet, and the voice of "Bugs Bunny" and other Looney Tunes characters, Mel Blanc. And the magic of Chuck Jones is nice. Here you have this cat who like a lavish lifestyle, and her boyfriend cat is not socially open. This lavish starved feline wanted to leave the farm life and head out to Gay Paris. However, the cat she hooked up with have other plans for her. So when the boyfriend cat brings along his friend, they start to have an adventure of their own. So when she's shown of the artwork that she can be on, she would later find out that the concat is shipping her out to the USA. While the two male cats get sent to cold parts of the USA, only to return to Paris, RICH! When the feline cat suffered a setback from fulfilling a dream, she feels redeemed when the boyfriend fought back to get what he loved. When where you live doesn't make you happy, it's great to try out something new. You just have to experience life for yourself and not let anything or anyone break your spirit. A great cartoon. I wished that it got a better results from back then. 5 stars

Yes This is a great cartoon of which I'd first seen on Thanksgiving Saturday night of 1975.I even mistook The title for Gay Paree a.k.a./ or gay Pari.It's a very well made Cartoon.It only takes a few words to tell because there are few and far between to say about it or as the french may say eet.Jaune Tom makes a great character as you'll see.Judy Garland does a great voice supplementation too.Check out Chuck Jones' book Chuck Amuck too.Jaune Tom is interesting with his talent(s) too.Cordially,Stephen"Steve" G.

I love Judy Garland, I have a few of her films. And I love movies that are set in Paris like "The Last Time I Saw Paris" starring Elizabeth Taylor (another favorite actress of mine) and Van Johnson; also the Pixar animated film "Ratatouille." One last thing to say is that I am cat lover, as I said many times.Judy did a wonderful job as Mewsette, both in speaking and singing for her. And Chuck Jones did a excellent job with the production and animation of the film; Chuck Jones is one of my favorite animators. So overall, this film is an excellent piece of animation. It is colorful and beautifully animated, with songs you will remember and love.

seriously, I thought "Gay Pur-ree" is up there on par with Disney's greatest productions, even surpassing some of them. Sure it's no blockbuster, nor is it planned to be one. But it does manage a certain kind of epic magic, more akin to the impressionist style it emulates than to the "MTV video feel" behind most of today's standard animation works.Gay Pur-ree (which aired in my country as "La Fair Mewsette", to my mind a MUCH better title) is a throwback to an age of innocence (corny as this may sound) in more than one sense; in those days, a simple, humane story was all the charm a story needed (my, that DID sound corny indeed). The movie had that special feel, in spades. And to me (a very impressionable 8-year old at the time), it was a true saga. I was taken to another world, cried for the characters, memorized their names and the song. And I dreamed of it for a month after watching it. I felt the magic. I felt as they said you should feel after watching an animated movie.*sigh*Maybe not a must see, but certainly a must remember. Watch it, and cherish the memory.
