Amazon.com: A beloved tabby cat becomes the catalyst for healing and hope between a young girl and her widowed father in Disney's 1964 classic, based on the enchanting fable by Paul Gallico. Set in the Scottish highlands in 1912, the story focuses on Andrew MacDhui (Patrick McGoohan) a veterinarian who, after the death of his wife, has closed his heart to goodness and empathy-- toward his animal patients and his only child. Left essentially an orphan, Mary (Karen Dotrice) finds love from her cat, Thomasina, until a tragedy injures the cat and her father orders it to be killed. A tenderhearted maiden (Susan Hampshire) finds Thomasina, detects a heartbeat, and nurses the feline back to health. Her healing powers eventually move beyond the animal kingdom into the lives of MacDhui and Mary. The stellar cast includes standout performances by Dotrice and Matthew Garber (who plays Mary's loyal chum)--better known as the duo, Jane and Michael Banks, in Mary Poppins. Best watched with kids and Kleenex. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson
the e lives of thomasina ^ This was a movie from my childhood that I wanted to share with my granddaughter. We watched it together and it was wonderful. We made new memories.
entertaining for kids and can speak to adults, too ^ I enjoyed this movie. It's a story that is a bit strange and could even qualify as a fable. It's an entertaining tale for children, but it also deals with the childish attitudes we mature, stable adults can unknowingly get into, as well. I can't imagine a cat lover not loving this movie.
The 3 Lives of Thomasina ^ My brothers, sisters, and I saw this movie on Walt Disney several times, while growing up. I saw it (right before purchasing it) again, as an adult, and it brought back so many memories! It really is a great movie!
Great movie for everyone ^ A movie that you will remember forever. I have watched this whimsical movie about six times. Purchased on Amazon for my granddaugther for Christmas. She loves animals and I thought this movie would be perfect for her. I am very satisfied with my transaction with Amazon.
Classic Disney movie ^ I bought this video for my girls because we used to check it out from the library. It's impossible to find in local stores. It's a very good story full of family values, laughs, tears, and joy. My children have watched it time and time again. It never gets old. The seller on amazon was fast. The video came in brand new condition as described and at an excellent price
