Protraph Lack of good storyline.

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

ferbs54 The presence of Patrick McGoohan, one of my favorite actors of the modern era, was my motivation for renting out the 1964 Disney picture "The Three Lives of Thomasina," but as it turns out, this charming film has much to offer besides his usual sturdy support. In this one, McGoohan doesn't play a secret-agent man or gay-smashing king, but rather a widower veterinarian named Andrew MacDhui living in the small town of Inveranoch, Scotland, in 1912, with his young daughter, Mary, and their 4-year-old ginger cat, Thomasina. Their peaceful domestic life is shattered when MacDhui is forced to put Thomasina to sleep, after the cat contracts tetanus, and Mary becomes walled off and unforgiving. Fortunately, Thomasina, after a surprisingly FX-laden dream sequence, during which she encounters the Egyptian cat god Bast, does return, and sets off on life #2.... It is almost impossible to speak of this film, even as a middle-aged adult, without using the words "cute" and "charming." If Paul Gallico's 1957 source novel, "Thomasina," which I have not read, is half as appealing as this adaptation, it must be very likable indeed. Besides a sweet and compelling story, the film offers sterling support by a raft of fine British, Irish and Scottish character actors, such as Laurence Naismith, Wilfrid Brambell (who will always be Paul's very clean grandfather to me!) and Finlay Currie. Beautiful Susan Hampshire stands out as Lori MacGregor, the nature girl "witch" with a superempathic way with animals, and the child actors are all wonderful, especially newcomer Karen Dotrice as Mary. Throw in some gorgeous Highland scenery, a catchy theme song, and even an action-packed and emotionally fraught finale, and you have one winning entertainment indeed, as suitable for the adults as the kiddies. Way to go, Walt!

editortwo I adored The Three Lives of Thomasina as a child. It stuck to me so much that over 40 years later I looked it up again and was not disappointed. Very engrossing and sweet. I'm not much of a sucker for a happy ending, because they often feel so contrived, but this is a wonderful movie for kids and adults, especially all those who love animals. I know a few vets who would profit from seeing this movie. Many of them seem to have lost sight of the fact that a pet is more than just a paycheck. This was made in the days before the Humane Society and PETA had so much power, so I wonder how all the animals fared. Hysterical to see McGoohan in this, as his role in The Prisoner is so memorable and associated with him. Susan Hampshire I don't know. I had forgotten that the two kids were in Mary Poppins as well, although they certainly seemed familiar to me.

DeeVMom I am a holistic veterinarian and for years I have been trying to figure out where I got my inspiration for my work. A few days ago I remembered this Disney film and the "witch". My love of animals and the love that can heal is all contained in this movie. It was such a joy to watch it again and see my inspiration come to life.I am also a singer and love to sing Celtic folksongs. I live in the country and am surrounded by animals though no wild ones necessarily. I did rescue a baby rabbit with a broken leg a few years ago. I made a splint out of a paper clip and kept him until the leg healed. Then my daughter and I turned him loose in a local park. I think Lorie was my role model in all that I have done with animals since I saw this movie when I was a young child.

Bloom6000 I don't see what is the fuss over this dull forgettable movie. It's not cheery as with Karen Dotrice's next film Mary Poppins. There are far too many soppy moments in this film for kids, and even some adults, to handle.Things bound to get people too emotional is the death of a cute cat (although she comes back to life) and after that death, the rejection of so many cute, adorable puppies and kittens looking for a home only to be rejected by a miserable girl.That aside, it's also a very boring film. I hope people would put this one aside and focus on 1964's superior Disney feature Mary Poppins and not even acknowledged that anyone from the Mary Poppins casts was involved in this dark, morbid, sordid piece of forgettable slop.
