Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPaul Gallico, the author of the movie's source novel, was invited to the set during filming, and quickly came to dislike "the great god Disney". Therefore, he was vastly amused when one of the felines portraying Thomasina held up filming for two days by flatly refusing to perform a stunt for which she had been trained, in spite of Walt Disney's frustrated bellowing. Paul Gallico recalled in his memoirs: "I was proud of that cat!" As with many films with animals, more than one cat was used to portray Thomasina. Disney introduced the film when it aired on television (it's included in the DVD special features), during which he indicated that Paul Gallico was his friend.
- GoofsScenes showing Thomasina will show an orange classic tabby and then an orange tiger tabby in another. These are two different styles of tabby cats.
- Quotes
Andrew McDhui: I thought my opinion as an animal doctor was no good. Somebody called Hughie Stirling has been saying so. Would he be a friend of yours?
Hughie Stirling: He's no friend of mine, sir.
Jamie McNab: Hughie Stirling's a bit of a fool, sir, everyone knows that.

Featured review
Thanks to the terrific acting of Patrick "The Prisoner" McGoohan and the lovely Susan Hampshire, this film is not like other syrupy Disney films like "Pete's Dragon" or "Mary Poppins."
Dr. McDui's character, played by McGoohan, is a tense, conflicted, confused man. He grabs Susan Hampshire roughly to shake her in a few scenes. No sentimental courting here!
The plot hole mentioned in another comment is not correct - the fire takes place at the gypsy circus and we take it for granted that the abused animals escape.
