The combined talents of what remained of UPA by the early '60s and who had already shaken loose from the Chuck Jones unit at Warner's while it was still ongoing which it ceased to do as a direct result of this feature: Jones co-wrote it, in violation of his contract with Warner's, and was consequently fired means that this cannot possibly be unattractive to look at.

And indeed, the film is intermittently a creative, experimental beauty, particularly in the background paintings, which combine the scruffy un-realism of UPA's glory days with a variety of aesthetics inspired by lateth Century Paris-based painters. Or some wholly other thing in the beautiful red-and-silhouette approach to the villain song.

The character animation is more…. Even with the involvement of Looney Tunes icons like Chuck Jones and Mel Blanc, Gay Purr-ee your guess as to what that title means is as good as mine just feels like a dull prototype of sorts for The Aristocats , in every way the superior animated cat musical set within Paris. All that makes this notable is Judy Garland's only voice acting in any animated project, which still isn't enough to make such a forgettable work of its type worth watching.

The animation itself isn't terrible, with one creative sequence presenting a character in the style of several famous painters, yet the weak musical numbers and paint-by-numbers plot make it sorely uninteresting otherwise. It is a fairly cute waste of time at least, but pretty much a total waste of time nonetheless. Cute as a kitten and just as comfortably ignorable after a few minutes of doting, "Gay Purr-ee" was an unprofitable tuft of Disney-chasing animal-cartoon frivolity of the early '60s by the animation studio UPA that mostly did shorts before and after this, one of only two films they ever produced the other was the even less well-known " Arabian Nights" featuring Jim Backus, not voicing Mr.

If you can endure the boilerplate story girl wants glamorous lifestyle, goes to the big city, gets taken in by sleazy grifters, but all's well after she's saved by new friends and dashing suitor and inappropriate content for a kid's movie she's basically forced into prostitution , the corny humor and corner-cutting animation…. Not a "forgotten masterpiece" or anything but it's extremely endearing and clearly a passion project; someone was so obsessed with French art styles that they constructed an entire talking cat musical just to show them off and I think that's incredible.

The narrative and songs are nonsensical and pretty middle-of-the-road, but DAMN this movie is great to look at most of the time and you always gotta appreciate a Judy Garland number even if the lyrics are all over the place. I had fun!! Release date: October 24, This is the tale of three Country cats who travel to Paris and meet some duplicitous City cats. This was released on a Wednesday; also released to movie theaters on that very same day was 'The Manchurian Candidate '.

So which film would you have chosen to see? I should mention that earlier in that week, on Monday, Kennedy announced the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis with a naval blockade of Cuba, and on Wednesday, two Russian ships tried unsuccessfully to run that blockade. So there was that real life news. This happy film features the singing talents of Judy Garland and Robert Goulet.

The story is honestly simple in design , the art backgrounds are great, and the animation and the songs in the film are at best average. Ugh despite the beautiful sketches, backgrounds etc, this is such a boring movie with some very boring character design and really bad songs. The villain Meowrice is a conman with the silliest plan ever.

Even Chuck Jones' involvement couldn't make this good or even charming really.
