Mewsette is a starry-eyed cat who grows weary of life on a French farm and heads for the excitement of 1890s Paris. Her tomcat suitor, Jaune-Tom, and his furry cohort, Robespierre, chase after Mewsette, but she's already fallen under the spell of a feline modeling-school racket run by Madame Rubens-Chatte and her slimy assistant, Meowrice.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Judy Garland's only animated film, recorded during her turbulent 1960 comeback period.
UPA's stylized 'limited animation' here was a deliberate rebellion against Disney's realism—and got them sued by Warner Bros. for poaching talent.

I have never seen this cartoon movie, but it looks like, it was created by Chuck Jones (LOONEY TUNES). That man is a legendary animator 😺👍.
