 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. The Cat from Outer Space is a 1978 American science fiction comedy film starring Ronnie Schell, Ken Berry, Sandy Duncan, Harry Morgan, Roddy McDowall and McLean Stevenson. Produced by Walt Disney Productions, it was shot at the studio's Golden Oak Ranch and Santa Clarita, California.

The occupant of the "flying saucer" turns out to be a strange cat-like alien named Zunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7. Since the Mother Ship cannot send a rescue party before it leaves the solar system, the cat sets about investigating how to repair the ship himself. Using a special collar that amplifies telekinetic and telepathic abilities, he follows the military to the Energy Research Laboratory (or E.R.L.), where they hope to learn how the UFO's power source works. One of the lab's scientists, Dr. Frank Wilson, attracts the cat's attention when his theory on the power source, while ridiculed by the rest of the staff, is actually on the right track. The cat follows Frank to his office, where Frank nicknames him Jake. Another scientist, Dr. Liz Bartlet, storms into his office, upset at Frank's sense of humor in light of such an important scientific discovery. Frank is able to calm her down, mostly by introducing Jake and inviting her to dinner. After Liz leaves, Jake reveals his true nature to Frank, demonstrating his abilities and offering to exchange his advanced knowledge on energy for Frank's assistance. That evening, the pair plan to break into the military base where Jake's ship is being kept, but must dodge Liz who has arrived for their date with her own cat, Lucybelle. Jake feigns being sick, allowing them to proceed to the base. At the base, Frank uses a back-up collar to fly to the top of the ship and attach a diagnostic device. Jake learns that he needs an element that he calls "Org 12". When Jake reveals the element's atomic weight, Frank realizes that "Org 12" is the element that humans call gold. Back at Frank's apartment, Frank tells Jake that an amount of gold costing $120,000 will repair Jake's ship. Dr. Norman Link, a colleague of Frank's, comes over to watch horse races and football games on which he has wagered money. Jake uses his powers to help Link's horse win the race, prompting Jake and Frank to convince Link to help them byparlaying all of his bets to win the money. However, Jake gets knocked out by a well-meaning vet that was brought in by Liz because she thought Jake was still sick. Frank informs Liz of the situation and the group heads to a local pool hall where Link has placed his bets. Learning the last game in the parlay was lost and desperate to raise the money needed, they agree to a game of pool with a hustler named Sarasota Slim. Frank's first attempt to use Jake's collar fails, but Jake regains consciousness in time to manipulate the final game and win the money they need to acquire the gold for Jake's ship. However, an industrial spy named Stallwood, who works for a master criminal named Olympus, has learned of their activities, as has the military. Frank and Jake manage to elude the military and the criminals, only to have Link, Liz and Lucybelle captured by Olympus and his men. They plan to ransom them back for the collar, which forces Jake to send his ship back to the awaiting Mother Ship and stay on Earth in order to help rescue his friends. Jake and Frank use a broken-down biplane to rescue Liz and Lucybelle from Olympus's helicopter, and Jake is allowed to stay as a representative of a “friendly power”, with Jake applying for and being granted citizenship.

Duffy/voice of Jake), James Hampton (Captain Anderson), Howard T. Platt (Col. Woodruff), William Prince (Mr. Olympus) A spaceship crashes into American farmland one night, and the defense department is on top of it right away, looking for answers to the many questions this occurrence raises. Being the 1970s, the military suspects the Soviet Union, but ultimately reaches the conclusion that this ship isn't from this world. The tight-lipped, serious officials are baffled at the nature of a foreign item. But one down-to-earth, slightly oddball scientist who works on the same premises is about to make a breakthrough. Dr. Frank Wilson (Ken Berry, of Herbie Rides Again) finds a orange cat that has managed to slip past all of those investigating the crash. Dr. Wilson gives the cat the ordinary name of Jake, but he soon finds the cat is not in the least bit ordinary. Jake comes from a faraway planet, where the inhabitants have managed to tap intelligence far beyond humans simply with the help of a special collar which channels thoughts. Jake can transfer thoughts, sort of like talking, but without his mouth moving, which certainly cuts down visual effects costs.   Jake explains to Frank that he's been separated from the mother ship, and will need some help to return home. This supernatural cat reveals some of his powers to Frank; he is quite the pro at levitation. With Jake's help and the use of a spare collar, an impossiblity like flight becomes reality for Frank. But one cannot have too many friends and soon others are joining together to help Jake return home. There's Dr. Link (McLean Stevenson), a man whose interest in sports and gambling seems to tower over his scientist work. There's also Dr. Liz Bartlett (Sandy Duncan), Frank's neighbor, co-worker and eventual love interest, who also has a photogenic cat--a mute love interest for Jake. Jake needs $120,000 worth of gold to get his spaceship back into orbit, so the group of doctors face a challenge. Probably the most spirited segment of the film is when Jake embraces gambling to raise the money to buy the required gold, a subplot the film gives its full attention to. The gang winds up at a poolhall, and there's just signs of life here that hold the viewer's interest more than the rest. Meanwhile, the military and some undercover agents are on their trail, although this plot becomes muddled and not so interesting. Jake treats those after him to a standstill treatment, presented in very high-tech freeze frame visual effects.   As a comedy, The Cat From Outer Space isn't very funny. As science fiction, it's not particularly thrilling at all. The film's interesting title and unusual premise would seem like the perfect setup for rambunctious Disney fun. After all, this is the studio that can make a car with personality and kids from another planet into multiple entertaining films. But, while the elements seem in place for jovial family fun, this G-rated romp takes its story too seriously for the noticeably thin material. Where the film really leaves the viewer high and dry is the rather prolonged climax, in which a helicopter chase becomes tremendously disinvolving. The Cat From Outer Space could have been high-spirited fun with the right treatment and tone. Instead, it's merely some late '70s nostalgia and mild entertainment. DVD Details 1.78:1 Anamorphic Widescreen Dolby 2.0 Mono (English) Subtitles: English, French, Spanish Closed Captioned Release Date: July 6, 2004 Single-sided, single-layered disc (DVD-5) Suggested Retail Price: $19.99 White Keepcase VIDEO and AUDIO The Cat From Outer Space is given a 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer on this DVD. Picture quality remained quite good for the most part, as the print was satisfactorily clean. The film maintained a bit of a faded look, which is as true to its 1970s roots as is the film's limited color palette. Any kind of flaws were minor; few and far between, as well. At the top of the frame, things seemed a little cramped, as tops of heads were occasionally cut off. In comparison, the fullscreen trailer provided appeared to be open matte. Perhaps the film is overmatted to 1.78:1 here, unlike the 1.66:1 non-anamorphic Anchor Bay release. Comparing the two transfers, you see a bit more on the sides and a bit less on top with the Disney transfer. (Thanks to Ben for captures from the Anchor Bay DVD.) Still, the framing issue isn't too noticeable unless you're looking for it, and it's still way preferable to a pan-and-scan reformat. The audio presentation for the film is Dolby Digital 2.0 mono. Sound seemed a bit flat and thin, but dialogue always remained crisp, and the sound effects and score were clear and properly balanced.   EXTRAS Not announced or listed on the package, the inclusion of the film's original theatrical trailer is a pleasant surprise. The 2-minute fullscreen preview promotes this "supurr-natural" comedy and its cast which seems to have mostly vanished twenty-five years later. The 16x9 menus contain colorful out-of-this-world graphics from the film; the main menu includes a bit of the film's score. The disc opens with a brand new 70-second preview for live action Disney films on DVD. This "Magic in the Memories" promo highlights some of the studio's more recently-released discs such as Follow Me, Boys! and the original Freaky Friday, in addition to family favorites like The Love Bug and Escape to Witch Mountain. The Shaggy Dog and The Shaggy D.A., two films which were intended to be released as extra-packed discs this August, are also briefly featured.   CLOSING THOUGHTS The Cat From Outer Space offers some fun, just a lot less than it should. In any event, Disney's DVD release appears to surpass the out-of-print Anchor Bay offerings, with 16x9 enhancement and the original theatrical trailer. Those with fond memories of the film will likely want to pick this one up, but it might not be quite as entertaining as it once was.

Contents[show] Plot An unidentified flying object makes an emergency landing on Earth and is taken into custody by the United States government. The occupant of the "flying saucer" turns out to be a cat-like alien namedZunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7, or Jake (voiced by Ronnie Schell) as he is called by his human friends (a tawny Abyssinian cat; a role shared by two cats named Amber and Rumple). Using a special collar, he is able to communicate with humans (as well as perform feats of levitation and even take a wrecked plane into the air). The cat wants American scientists to help him find some "Org 12" so that his craft may rendezvous with his mother ship, and eventually settles on Dr. Frank Wilson (Ken Berry). After Frank determines that "Org 12" is gold when Jake tells its atomic weight (196.967), Jake uses his collar's powers to affect the outcome of various sporting events, including horse races and pool games, to win money to buy the needed gold and repair his saucer. In the end, Jake sends his flying saucer back to the mother ship, staying on Earth with Frank, his girlfriend Liz (Sandy Duncan) and her cat, Lucy. Production notes NBA Hall of Famer "Pistol" Pete Maravich and Pat Riley are seen on a clip of a 1971 NBA Hawks-Lakers basketball game. At a crucial scene near the half-mark of the film, Jake levitates Frank and a motorcycle across an army barricade to escape pursuit. This type of visual gag had been used before in both Disney's Escape to Witch Mountain and Return from Witch Mountain and the sequence resembles a similar one later seen in Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Miller Written by Ted Key Music by Lalo Schifrin Cinematography Charles F. Wheeler Film / The Cat from Outer Space Awesome   Film   Funny   Heartwarming   YMMV   Create New  In this Walt Disney movie, a spaceship is stranded on Earth and impounded by the U.S. government. Its pilot, a cat-like alien named Zunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7, or Jake for short, has a collar that has special powers, including the ability to allow Jake to communicate with humans. Jake has eluded the authorities and needs the help of a man named Frank in order to reclaim and repair his ship to get back home. After Frank determines that they need gold in order to fix Jake's ship. Jake uses his collar's powers to affect the outcome of various sporting events, including horse races and pool games, to win money to buy the needed gold and repair his saucer. So Frank; Frank's friend Norman Link and Frank's new girlfriend, Liz, help Jake find the gold he needs. Unfortunately, another problem arises when Liz is kidnapped by billionaire Charles Olympus, who wants the power of Jake's collar. Frank, Jake, and Link must track down Liz and her kidnappers and rescue her. This movie provides examples of: Alien Among Us: Jake, aka Zunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7. Alien Animals Alien Catnip: The pool player's sandwich is able to revive an unconscious Jake just in the nick of time. Aliens Speaking English: Jake speaks thanks to his collar. Technically, it's telepathy, as he himself explains. He seems to be able to understand spoken English just fine, though this might also be due to a kind of "telepathic translation". Amusing Alien: Though Jake is more The Comically Serious at first, he quickly evolves into a Not So Above It All type. Ascended Fanboy: Frank, a fanboy of "Science"! Bad Boss: Charles Olympus, when he and his henchmen bail from their helicopter: Liz: Wait a minute, I haven't got a parachute! Olympus: Then you have a problem. Stallwood: I haven't got a parachute either! Olympus: Then you have the same problem. Benevolent Alien Invasion: Jake even becomes an official citizen of the United States by the end of the film. Bond Villain Stupidity: Olympus and his lackeys. And let us not forget General Stilton and his men who all seem Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket. Captured Super-Entity: Slightly subverted, Mr. Olympus wants Jake's collar, not Jake. Which is actually kinda stupid when you think about it. All the technical advancements Olympus could make by interrogating Jake. Instead, he just tries stealing some alien tech that's hard for a human to use. Cats Are Magic: Well, super-evolved with superior alien technology, but same idea. Cats Are Superior: And may also be aliens. Cultural Posturing: Jake, but a very mild case. Delegation Relay: The Army officers, led by Harry Morgan, who chased Jake and Frank around fall into this running gag several times during the movie. General Stilton: *gives a command* Colonel! Colonel: Captain! Captain: Sergeant! Sergeant: Yes sir! Diabolical Mastermind: Mr. Olympus. Drives Like Crazy: Jake, as weird as it sounds. Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Zunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7... or Jake for short. Exactly What It Says on the Tin: If you sat down to watch a movie called "The Cat From Outer Space" and expected something else, prepare to be disappointed. Expy: Mr. Olympus and his henchmen are obviously supposed to be Bond villain expies. First Contact: With humans and... Space Cats? Hidden in Plain Sight: Looking exactly like a normal cat has it's advantages. Hot Scientist: Liz Imported Alien Phlebotinum: The spare collar Frank uses during the film. I Choose to Stay: Jake eventually deciedes that he likes Frank and the other humans too much to leave them. Innocent Aliens: Jake's cat-race. Insignificant Little Blue Planet: Jake and the other alien cats aren't all that interested in Earth. He just had to make an emergency landing there. Inspector Javert: It's easy not to like General Stilton, but he really isn't a bad man or even a bad soldier - he just wound up with a bad situation that had to be handled. At the end of the movie, he does help Jake make a deal with the President. Interspecies Romance: Alien cat Jake has quite the crush on Earth cat Lucy-Belle. Just Plane Wrong: There's nothing in an Aérospatiale Gazelle anywhere near where Stallwood fires his flare gun that would cause the controls to lock up. Little Stowaway: Jake. Oh Crap!: Stallwood has one of these moments when Mr. Olympus tells him it would not be wise to let Liz live. He appears to have genuinely believed up to that point that his employer was a man of his word. Parachute in a Tree: What happens to Mr. Olympus and his henchmen. Hanging off the edge of a cliff, for that matter. Psychic Powers: Jake, naturally. Jake's collar can give anybody the power to levitate. Kind of like Mind over Matter. Red Scare: Near the beginning of the movie, General Stilton assumes Jake's ship is a Soviet one. Surveillance as the Plot Demands: Played with realistically and fictitiously by both the military and the villains. Translator Collar: Jake's collar. The Mothership: Who's pilot apparently is also a cat. Whole Plot Reference: The Futurama episode "That Darn Katz!" is a spoof of this movie, right down to the spaceship and the mind powers. The only real change being that the cats are evil beings who want to invade the Earth. You Can Talk?: Frank's response when Jake first reveals his telepathy: Frank: You? That's you? Jake: Well, it isn't the mouse. Frank: But your lips aren't moving! You're not... speaking. Jake: Thought transference. Nothing exceptional where I come from.
