My 2 cents worth…
What a sweet movie! This movie was one I watched many times as a child. It is still as exciting and moving as I remembered it to be.

This is one of my favorite movies from childhood. It’s told by the cat, Thomasina. There are some sad moments but the ending is happy. Nothing scary.

Caution to parents on disturbing content
I saw this movie when it came out in 64. I was eight at the time. I’ve always adored Disney films and I love cats… especially the orange tabby’s which were always my favorite.

Three Lives of Thomasina DVD Review
It’s one of the very first movies I ever remember seeing as a very little girl. And Thomasina looks just like my old cat, Ginger.

Wonderful “Three Lives of Thomasina”
It was great to see this film again after so many years. I first saw it in the theatre when I was a young girl and it made a lasting impression on me.
