Here's today's trivia question: What Disney movie costars both colonels from television's M*A*S*H--that is, Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) and Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan)? Heck, that's easy: 1978's The Cat from Outer Space, a family comedy about a feline extraterrestrial named Jake (voiced by actor Ronnie Schell, who also plays Sergeant Duffy). Eerily similar to the plot of Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, released four years later, Cat finds Jake stuck on Earth and in danger of being trapped here forever if his fellow space kitties can't rendezvous with him soon.

While a gruff Army general (Morgan) tries to scare up some answers about the whereabouts and agenda of the purring alien, Jake allies himself with an unorthodox scientist (Ken Berry), plus the latter's friend (Stevenson)--a compulsive gambler--and mathematician girlfriend (Sandy Duncan). Together, they try to raise the scratch to purchase expensive materials to make Jake's ship run again, and in short order. Norman Tokar, an old Disney hand (The Happiest Millionaire) directing his final film before he died the following year, gets the comic machinery going with his slick cast of character actors (Roddy McDowall, Jesse White, Hans Conried), sly one-liners, and lots of enjoyable suspense. A kid-pleaser for sure. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Purrrfect, Fun Movie:) .......2007-05-09

This was another one of my top Disney faves.Good, clean fun and the special effects aren't bad at all for the 70's!:)
LOVE the choice of cat they used and it was extremely well-trained to do all those moves and interactions like that! I wish they added special features like The Making of,etc..but GLAD they released this on DVD for the next generations to enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Another Disney Classic!.......2007-02-05

Zunar J5 Zoric 9/49 (aka; Jake) has emergency-landed his spaceship on Earth, and in order to make his deadline, he must acquire 6 cubits of a common, yellow, substance(SPOILER WARNING aka; $120,000.00 worth of Gold.) So he be-friends Frank, Liz, & Link(aka; Ken Berry, Sally Duncan, & Mclean Stevenson) and hurries to keep ahead of a General(Harry Morgan, another military leader) and the US Army, and an Industry Leader, intent on using the cat for Power and Financial Gain. Jake and Company must get Jake to the Mothership before it leaves Earth for 1,005 years. In short, this is another Walt Disney Classic.

4 out of 5 stars Space cat.......2006-11-10

Come to Earth, looking as any other cat, but his collar glows, causeing things to happen. A great family movie.
Ken Berry, Sandy Duncon are acting great.

4 out of 5 stars MAD ABOUT CATS.......2006-08-03

This is a fairly old Disney movie which I remember seeing the first time it came around. It is entertaining and kids should appreciate it. Be warned! I live in South Africa and this is the first time I have had problems with a Zone 1 movie from Amazon. I also bought 'The Three Lives of Thomasina' and 'Bell, Book and Candle' - same vintage - as I said, mad about cats!

5 out of 5 stars Abbysin-sational.......2006-05-20

This was the first movie that I ever *remember* seeing. It stands out in my mind (and yes probably has clouded my viewing judgement for years) because it was the first film to ever feature the mode of moggy that has been my constant companion for over 25 years - The Abbysinian. An Abby was the perfect cat to play Zunar-J5/9-Doric-47 (or Jake for the non fanatics out there). Being three years old and the proud owner of one of the first Abbys in Australia - I remember for days after putting different collars on my very patient cat Tawney and begging him to talk to me. He obviously didn't, and it broke my little heart, but what he couldn't express verbally he more than made up for with his smooches and furry nudges. Ok the Film never won an Oscar, it was a Disney Kid flick, but as kid flicks go - it was all right. And lets face it - I can't be all bad, McLean Stevenson, Harry Morgan AND Roddy McDowell! '

The bit of triva the really freaked me out so many years later was learning that Ronnie Schell was the voice of Jake... I was also addicted to another kids thing he had done... Battle of the Planets.
