Zunar J5/90 Doric 4-7, also known as Jake, is an alien cat who crash-lands on earth. He heads off to the nearest scientist to find gold ($120,000 worth!) in order to repair his spaceship. Jake reveals that he can predict the winners in sporting events and soon the military is trying to track him down. The plot becomes more complicated when a wacky veterinarian inadvertently puts Jake into a deep sleep; now he must hide the alien cat from government authorities. The Cat from Outer Space was written by cartoonist Ted Key, who also wrote other Disney family fare, including Gus and The $1,000,000 Duck. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Norman Tokar's comedy The Cat from Outer Space comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer produces an image with an aspect ratio of 1.66:1, and is preferable to the full-frame image. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. There are neither subtitles nor closed captions on this release. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, marking this as a by-the-numbers release from Anchor Bay. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
