Trivia:
When the nefarious Meowrice hatches a plot to shanghai Jaune Tom and Robespierre and sell them as ship's cats, he escorts them to the celebrated feline cabaret, the "Mewlon Rouge", under guise of friendship. During this scene, the famous French artist Toulouse-Lautrec - who painted many advertising posters for the real Moulon Rouge - is portrayed as a bearded, green-colored cat sitting at a nearby table, tossing back a drink and sketching his surroundings. more
Quotes:
Meowrice: As they say, evil is the root of all money... money trees, that is! Big, green money trees. more

Judy's First (and only) Animated Film, 25 October 2007
10/10
Author: Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) from Canada

I love Judy Garland (I have a few of her films), and I love movies that are set in Paris, like "The Last Time I saw you in Paris" starring Elizabeth Taylor (another favorite actress of mine) & Van Johnson, and the Pixar animated film "Ratatouille." And also I am cat lover (as I said many times).

Judy did a wonderful job as Mewsette (both in speaking and singing for her). And Chuck Jones did a excellent job with the production and animation of the film; Chuck Jones is one of my favorite animators. So overall, this film is an excellent piece of animation; it is colorful, beautifully animated, with songs you will remember and love.
