Review
Our Score
by
Alan Jones
In this harmless Disney matinée fodder, an alien cat crash-lands on Earth and calls on human dexterity to repair its disabled spacecraft so it can rejoin the mothership. Startling similarities to
ET
(still four years in the future) add an unforeseen layer of entertainment value to a bland package that could have done with a bit of Spielberg magic. Apart from the cat's "wonder collar" that levitates people and places them in suspended animation, plus some climactic daredevil stuntwork, it's a pretty uninspired juvenile romp.
Summary
A UFO crash-lands on Earth and its only occupant is an alien cat whose collar gives him strange powers, including the ability to communicate telepathically with humans. This turns out to be a useful skill when he is forced to enlist help to get his spaceship back after the US government seizes it. Disney sci-fi comedy, with Roddy McDowall and Sandy Duncan.
