An intelligent but troublesome cat foils a gang of
bank robbers.
Corny and dated live action family comedy from Disney,
starring Hayley Mills at the very height of her appeal. Young kids might still find it enjoyable, but a long time has passed since what was deemed enjoyable in 1965.
A 1997 remake was released, once again by Disney,
starring Christina Ricci, but it was largely charmless.
