      The cat from outer space (2004, DVD)
    Review created: 09/30/08

    I really like this movie and I enjoy movies that the whole family will like. The reason I bought this movie is because of the cat on the front. My grand kids are at the age of enjoying movies with animals in them. I like fun comedy and this movie had a lot of it in it. I didn't give it an excellent but I did give it a good. I have seen other movies that I did like better. I can say that I am glad that I bought the movie and enjoy it often.
    Thanks Kathy

    This is a movie from childhood that I was delighted to find on DVD so I could enjoy it again. It's Disney (the old Disney!), so it's just a good time.

      The Cat From Outer Space - out of this world comedy
    Review created: 07/18/08

    Pros: Cute cat, familiar faces like Ken Berry, Sandy Duncan, McLean Stevenson, Harry Morgan, Alan Young, Roddy McDowell,and Ronnie Schell. Amusing storyline.

    Cons: None.

    This purely goofy Walt Disney film from the sixties provides some pretty good laughs. It's a blast from the past!

    Think of a sophisticated alien life form forced to land on planet earth - then imagine that the stranded alien is a cat! That's the premise for this aptly titled movie.

    The special effects are pretty good for some 40 years ago, and in keeping with Disney tradition, once again an animal provides the star staying power to keep the audience interested and entertained.

    This is a family, G-rated movie but I did find it distasteful that McLean Stevenson's character was obsessed with sports, gambling, beer, and cigars. Of course, most of that figured into the film and provided some laughs but I always frown on those things included in family entertainment. However, that's mild - or actually, nothing - compared to the contents of today's movies!

    I would, however, recommend this movie to all ages for pure fantasy and old-fashioned entertainment. I think kids will like it especially. Adults will find some of the military jokes amusing. Hint: watch for the very funny round of salutes when officers try to get into the same jeep.

    And for those of us who own and love cats, we already know they are superior to us, so maybe this isn't so far-fetched afterall!
