Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). There's no moral to be learned, no catchy songs, no marketable goofy sidekick, a villain that could not be less threatening, and rarely any action that involves the protagonist. So I can see why this film tends to be one of the less classic of the Disney "classics." But personally, I'd say every one of those points is a plus.  Add to that some excellent animation, an adorable mouse played by Sterling Holloway, one or two very funny sequences, a fun score, and cat characters that are perfectly cat-like and believable, and I'd say this is probably one of the top ten Disney cartoons.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.5/4 (Okay)
