Rating:  - Gay PureeAn 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! Rating:  - Judy Garland fan? Buy it!I trace my love of all things French to seeing this movie when I was six & listening to "Take My Hand, Paris" with the French pronunciation of Paris (Paree - get it? a movie about French cats, Gay Purr-ee?). Great song with the always completely wonderful Judy's heart-tugging voice filled with longing for a more exotic life than her one on the farm. Some really good music in this. Also a funny turn by Hermione Gingold as the fat Persian proprietor of a feline "charm school." There's a montage of Judy's character, Mewsette, as painted by the great artists (e.g. Monet, Rubens, Van Gogh, Picasso, Degas, Lautrec) - c'est tres magnifique, c'est merveilleux, je l'aime beaucoup. Rating: - Problem with DVDI 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!!! Rating: - Thank you for such a great powerful memory!I loved this movie as a child! I loved it so much my first toy poodle was named Meuzette. When I saw this movie again, I had to have a box of tissues. When Garland sang "Little Drops of Rain" I so lost it! I remembered every word even though I hadn't sung it since a child! And the way it effected me the rest of my life became apparent! Yes, it is hokey animation, but remember, it was made in 1962. Not the top year for special effects or animation. I did feel the same mixed feeling when Meuzette stopped singing "Little Drops of Rain" and it moved quickly into another scene. That was the only part of the movie that confused me. There should have been a moment to reflect on the song. I needed that moment as a child and felt it as an adult too. Also, the drunk scene was cute but in todays PC world, it is not funny any longer. For those who balk because it shows a female being saved by a strong male, I could say the same about most Disney movies. Many of us suffered from what I call "Lady and the Tramp" syndrome who grew up with such movies. We never understood why we couldn't turn our tramps into winners like Lady did! Thanks again for bringing this out on DVD. I never realized how much this movie affected my life as I grew up. I am passing this on to my grandkids and yes, I am over 50 and still young! Young enough to enjoy a great story with strong voices and songs to back it up. Rating: - My 7-year-old loves it.... and so do I!Wow! This is so beautiful!!! I expected it to be nice from the reviews, but never would I have imagined it to be such a jewel! I do not understand how I did not come across this movie before! My 7-year-old is fluent in French, so I use the French soundtrack, which is just fabulous: Philippe Noiret is more than excellent at the narration! (and all the songs are still in English, by Judy Garland... beautiful!). Great introduction to Paris, for anyone (young or not) who is planning to visit the city of lights! |
