An engaging Disney film about a lonely little girl, her kitty best friend, a workaholic vet, and a beautiful "witch." It takes place in Scotland, a long time ago. Some of the Scottish brogue is a bit difficult to understand, but Thomasina tells the story of how she got badly hurt and forgot about her little girl friend but was nursed back to health by Laurie, the lovely young woman who weaves and rescues hurt animals and heals them. A good story for youngsters, and the two main actors were the little boy and girl in Mary Poppins. I showed it to my 2 great-grand children and they enjoyed it. These are the Disney movies that I love the best and miss the most, because they aren't being made any more.

Many decades ago I watched this movie when it first came out and as a child and all these years later love it and am so glad to own it. This is one of the greatest non animated cat movies ever made, and the fact that it has what I will refer to as only the magic that can be added by Walt Disney himself makes this movie all the more worth while. The movie opens with a great song, and the cat is so right when she Thomasina lets us know that this movie is all about her. A widowed father who's occupation is a veterinarian making a new start move into a new home in a small town along with his daughter Mary and a house servant. Thomasina very kindly adopts this family and his completely loved and pampered by Mary. All the children are absolutely fantastic actors and make this movie a true treasure. Thomasina still has six lives left and I wish for all of them to be well lived with all the love she has received in her first three lives. You don't have to love cats in order to love this movie. Another one of Mr. Disney's presents to the world in the form of a movie anyone can enjoy in their home over and over again. So glad to add it to my favorite collectables.Read full review
This movie had fairy-tale like beauty and lots of characters that make it hard to forget. The movie deals with tough subjects like death of a parent and pets. The scenes are overly stylized at times, but are pleasing for young children who don't know any better. They also tend to soften some of the more heartwrenching scenes with these prettier than normal landscapes. For parents looking for a feel good movie that deals with the problems of a death of a family pet, with a happy ending, I'd recommend this movie highly. It also has two of the children actors who are in the Mary Poppins movie, and they are quite entertaining. Lots of animals and focusing on the caretaking of them is also good for young ones interested in animal care or the general love of animals.
Great movie! Great quality DVD! Picture is incredible!

i bought this movie because i remember seeing it when i was about 8 years old, and never forgot it, it had a profound impact on me as a child. i wanted to see it again, and share it with friends who are cat lovers. it not only is a wonderful children's movie, it has important messages on how we should treat all animals AND people, with respect, love and compassion, and the consequences if we don't! it is the kind of movie that is all too rare these days. i think it is worthy of being a cult movie for cat lovers. i've already got one person who has watched it 3 times! it is so inspiring! highly recommended for all animal lovers, and for parents trying to teach their children respect for animals.
