If I ever understood what this movie was about when I was a kid, then I had definitely forgotten since. In fact, I probably would have summarized the plot as "about some kitties who are rich," not even close to the actual storyline. Does anyone know what this is about? No? Nobody? Allow me to enlighten you on the dumbest of all Disney plots.
Duchess (mama cat) and her three kittens are set to be the heirs to a rich, old woman's fortune. Her butler thinks he should get the money, not some stinkin' cats, so he drugs the cats and drops them in the countryside. He doesn't kill them, just abandons them somewhere. The cats meet a street-wise alley cat, some crazy jazz cats, and travel back to the mansion where all is uncovered. The end.
What? Really? Thank God Disney discovered fairy tales a la Christian Anderson (etc) or all their movies would have been lame.
Still, it has kitties so Awwww! Cute!
