| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Cat From Outer Space |
|---|
This low-budget Disney flick details the adventures of an amazing alien explorer that just happens to look like an orange tabby cat, and he wears a nifty collar, too! The cat from outer space makes some friends with humans, but, of course, the government wants him, so his human friends have to help him get back to his space ship so he won't end up like E.T.
