Retro Thursdays! - Gay Purr-ee

This week we have the 1962 UPA movie Gay Purr-ee. I wanted to feature a Chuck Jones film and it was a toss between this and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. I ultimately went with Gay Purr-ee even though it wasn't officially produced by Chuck Jones merely writter by him, however his influence is more than evident.
Gay Purr-ee is a Parisian story about cats (yes more cats!) and before anybody starts drawing comparisons with Aristocats remember that this movie predates it by almost ten years! Although the character designs are typical Jone's savior-faire, and I say that in a good way, the background designs are very stylistic and almost painterly.

As always and again, here is your Wikipedia Synopsis. Please click on the image below to begin the playlist.
Note that this time the film is hosted on a Romanian site so dont be alarmed!

And you can always find this movie and more on Amazon.com!
