Gee, when I was back home

I used to think the
stars were so romantic.

And now they seem sort
of dull and monotonous.

If we only knew which one
of those millions and millions

of little lights is home.

If we only had something
to guide us.



Like a sound wave
or a light beam.

Just any kind of a signal.

You mean like the kind
Sebastian's gettin'?

Sebastian?
What's he hearing?

Whatever it is, he doesn't like it.

[bleeps]

It's probably the noises
that Bleep thing makes.

Why doesn't go back into outer
space where it came from?

Oh, I'm sure it wouldn't like that.

The Bleep likes us much better.

[bleeps]

- See? It says so.
- 'Wow!'

(Alex) 'Get a load of the action now.'

(Alan) That's weird.

What sort of a signal do
you suppose he's gettin'?

- 'It's sure bugging him.'
- 'He's pointing to something.'

Well, it's obviously something
none of us can see or hear.

(Josie) 'There he goes again.'

(Valerie) 'Now that's ridiculous.'

A cat can't be a bird dog.

(Alan) 'Wonder what the signal is.'

[laughs] Eo-o-ow.

I knew my homing signal would work.

We can expect visitors very soon

and what a unique welcome
will be waiting for them.

Ha-ha-ha.
Eo-o-ow.

We're out of control,
we're being pulled

toward that funny looking planet.

Whee! This is fun!

You know, a gal
could get to like this.

I know I could.

I hate to be a killjoy,
but what's going to happen

when we get to the ground floor?

If you'll just give me a chance,
I'll have us

alright side up in just a minute.

This would be a much
easier way for me

to brush my hair every evening.

(Valerie) I'd like to accommodate
you, Melody dear

but I'm afraid everyone else might object.

Okay, get ready for the
anti-gravity reverse.

Hang on!

I have the funniest feeling
that we landed exactly

where someone wanted us to land.

Right on target.

Oh, Alan, I think you're
just trying to scare me.

[bleeps]

Now, now, don't be frightened.

Melody will take care of you.

This I've got to see.

[bleeps]

The Bleep says..
Alexandra, uh..

Alan? Josie? Alexander?

Valerie? Sebastian?

Someone? Anyone?

[bleeps]

[bleeps]

A-ha! Got them all.

Now for the rest of my plan.

[meow]

Sebastian?

Alan?

Where are we?

We're in a cage of some kind.
But how?

I fell. It was like slipping down
a gigantic sliding board.

Or down a tunnel.

The ground just dropped
out from under me.

And I was sliding and sliding.

And the next thing
I knew, here I was

and then Bleep rolled
right into my lap.

[bleeps]

Look, gang, I don't know

what's going on any
more than anyone else.

But I do know that we're
not here by accident.

I think we should try
to get out of here

before anything else happens.

S-s-s-so, you thought
you could spy on us.

- Who are you?
- I am Kator.

King of Cat people.
And I caught your spaceship.

We know you used
some sort of a signal

that only Sebastian could hear.

That's how you lured us down
to your planet and trapped us.

- But what's the big idea?
- Yes!

You sure have a lot of nerve!

And we demand you release
us immediately or else..

Or else what?

We'll think of something.

Look, if you'll just take us
back to our spaceship

we'll take off.
You'll never see us again.

Honest, Mr. Kator.

Do you think I would
allow you to return

to serve that power mad Menton?

No! You will act as hostages

for the return of our beloved queen, Felina.

We don't know who you're talking about.

We've never heard of anyone
named Menton or Felina.

- We're from Earth.
- You'd better believe it.

Just look at us and you can
tell how different we are.

True, you are different from Menton.

He is the only one who looks as he does..

...as you can see.

(Alan)
'How about that?'

(Valerie) 'He doesn't look
like a real living being.'

Of course, he's not a living being.

Not living?
Then what is he?

(King Kator) If I discover
you're just another

of that mechanical monster's tricks..

'...you'll wish you'd remaine
in the City of La Bore.'

Look, all we have to do is
prove that we're from Earth.

I know how we can do it.

Of course we can prove we're
from a planet called Earth.

Because we can do something
no one else around here can do.

And all we need are our instruments.

I don't trust Menton's
spies for one moment.

What kind of instruments?
Scientific, I suppose?

No! Musical instruments!

We could get them from our
spaceship. Right, gang?

Know what I mean?

Well, I see nothing
wrong in that idea.

And by coincidence, your
spaceship happens to be..

...right here!

Well, that blows a good idea.

Okay, Josie and the Pussycats, you're on.

♪ Ooh hear the love
song of the universe ♪

♪ It's a magical melody
going round ♪

♪ It's the love song
of the Universe ♪

♪ Bringing light to all the galaxies ♪

♪ Boom sha la la boom
boom boom going down ♪

♪ Boom sha la la boom
boom boom going down ♪

♪ Boom sha la la boom
boom boom going down ♪♪

We have never heard
anything like that sound.

So what you say must be true.

And we haven't any
connection at all with Menton.

I believe you.

Let's get everything back
on our spaceship and split.

I'm for that!

We're sorry we can't do
anything about your queen.

But like they say,
"That's the way the cat jumps!"

- Let's scat, gang.
- Wait!

- Maybe we can help.
- Perhaps, you can.

Particularly, since you'd never
be mistaken for Cat people.

What can we do?
How can we help?

Find Queen Felina and
bring her back to us.

We don't know anything about
Menton on the City of La Bore.

Menton is a super
robot that we built.

He somehow programmed
himself for conquest.

Menton left our kingdom
to construct his city

using captive Cat people.

Menton's just a mechanical man.

He shouldn't be difficult to outwit.

His technology is fantastic.

He has air and land warning systems.

Then let's forget this whole thing.

- And get out!
- Good idea!

It seems like a hopeless
task, Your Highness!

Except for our new secret machines!

The Cryston drills.

In operation, the Cryston
drill dissolves anything

'in front of the vehicle.'

'The terascope will guide you'

'to arrive at the
gates of Menton city.'

'We are counting on you.'

Keep your fingers crossed.

My toes too.

Here go the Pussycats.

[rumbling]

Oh, wow! Look!

Now, that's a city.

(Alex) 'It looks like a glass
blower's convention.'

(Alan) 'Let's go in.'

[dramatic music]

This is Lab City alright.
Now to find Menton.

(Menton) 'Intruders,
you have only to look.'

Do I have to?

- 'Menton!'
- Yes!

And I compute that
you are Earth people

sent here by Kator.

Fantastic!

What a computer!

We're here as a friendly committee

to ask you to return Queen Felina.

She is here, isn't she?

Correct. Correct. Correct.

Correct. Correct. Correct.
Correct. Correct. Correct.

- Who are these?
- We are all Mentons.

Oh, wow!

Terrific!

- Maybe he's a one-man band.
- Band of what?

- I don't wanna find out.
- I don't believe it.

It's wild! I wonder what
he does for an encore.

You may wish you'd
never asked that question.

The real Menton has to
be the one in the middle.

That's where he was when
all this just started. I guess.

Well, we're surrounded.
Where do we go from here?

You are going no place.

I'm fusing the exit.

You had to ask him,
didn't you, Josie?

(Menton)
'No one will leave.'

[borbulhando]

Can you believe this place?
All this glass!

(Josie) 'Well, one thing is for sure.'

'People who live in Lab City
shouldn't throw stones!'

Or rock troops even.

I'm just glad I don't have to
do the cleaning around here.

(Josie) How are we ever
gonna find the queen

of the Cat people in this crazy place?

Well, the first thing we have
to do is to talk to Menton.

The real Menton.
Whichever one he is.

Very well. You will
meet the real Menton.

(Alan) 'Doing a single again.'

The secret is in this device.

'With it, I can duplicate anyone
or simply reverse the process.'

I don't want to do anything
to hurt any of you.

But you must realize, I won't tolerate

any interference with my plans.

I intend taking over
this entire planet.

Filling it with replicas of
my own brilliant self.

One of him is repulsive enough.

Can you imagine a
planet full of him? Ugh!

Somehow we gotta get
our hands on that device!

To accomplish my master plan

I continue to hold
Queen Felina as hostage

until those Cat people
submit to my total control.

There's only one way
to get through to someone

with an electro ego like his.

If we could just get near him.

Now, my list of hostages
will include all of you.

(Menton) Stop.

I didn't give any of you
my permission to move.

What are we playing?
Simon says?

Uh, I just couldn't help myself.

Your magnetic personality
seems to draw me to you.

That is because I am a super leader.

And if you wanna make a dozen of me..

...I don't care.

Josie, no!
Don't let him.

Mr. Menton, go on.
Let me surround you.

Just like you surround us.

Josie, be careful!

I will humor your childish wish.

Oh, Josie!

How'll we ever know which is our Josie?

Something tells me she
has that all figured out.

I just hope you're right.
I'm worried.

I think the time has
come for us to escort

all of your little
friends to the cells.

That is an order.

Yes, Master Menton.

That order is for my
duplicates, but not for me!

Alan, catch!

Good arm, Josie.
Now, the button.

No! No!

You meddlers!

Come on, let's get out of here!

Come on.

Hey! Val? Melody?

Come on, Alan. Now's our chance.

- You lose, Menton.
- What's up?

[both grunting]

(Menton)
Stop! Stop, all of you!

(Alan) Wait! I dropped the box.

Got it!

Hold it, gang.
I've got an idea.

It had better be a good one.
'Cause I hear company coming.

Okay. Ready, gang. Fire!

[whirr]

[crash]

Come on, gang, let's go!

Yeah, that ought to hold him for a while.

Wait for me!

Look, those bell jars might be
where Menton has Queen Felina.

You're right.
Here she is.

We are your friends, Queen Felina.

King Kator sent us to rescue you.

Thank you, young friends.
I am most grateful.

Your Highness, we'll take
you back to your people

but we must hurry.
Please follow us.

[upbeat music]

I must get that control unit.

[shrieking]

Hey!

Got it!

Safe, in its master's hands.

He's got that gizmo again.

Come on, let's grab Menton and
his invention and then split.

This is my game now.

Oh, no! Not that again.

Blocked out.

Well, it was a good
idea while it lasted.

You don't suppose he's gonna put us

in those glass cases too, do you?

I don't wanna be myself
and hundreds like me

for the rest of my life!

That would be a bore, wouldn't it?

What'll we do now, Alan?

Well, first we've gotta find the real Menton

in that mess of Mentons.

And he's not about to let us know..

...that that's how he protects himself.

Well, he's programmed like a
human. We can appeal to him.

But, Josie, what have
emotions got to do with it?

- Do we make him cry?
- No, Melody. Music!

Maybe music will change his attitude.

Oh, you've got to be kidding, Pussycat.

Look, we've got nothing to lose.
But what about instruments?

I've got an idea. We can
make do with this lab equipment.

Let's get cracking, gang.

- Stop!
- Ignore him, gang.

You cannot escape.

Grab some sticks, Melody.
You've got a set of glass tins.

Hurry, kids, I've strung up a beaker.

♪ Oooh ♪

Keep your eye on Multi-Men.

Get ready to grab the one
that acts any different.

Stop the music!

You don't know what you're doing.

Louder, Josie. We're
beginning to get to him.

There, over there!

Look, it's Menton moving out.

That vibration!
Stop! Stop!

Just what I've been waiting for.
Keep it up, Josie.

My sensors are cracking.

Stop! Stop that noise!

Okay, wind it up, Josie.

And let's head for the Cryston drills.

The gate can't be far from here.

What's that?

(Alan) 'The glass is cracking.'

I warned you not to play any music.

You have created a
chain vibration reaction.

Boy, we've brought down the house

before but this is ridiculous.

Don't just stand there,
gang. Split fast!

[shattering]

This way out.

I think we're seeing
the last of La Bore.

Wow! We left just in time.

My city.
My beautiful city.

Queen Felina is safe.

And our kingdom is
no longer in danger.

I'm only sorry I can't
give you any help

in finding your way back
to your Planet Earth.

But we are grateful for
everything you've done.

We were happy to do it.

Just wish I knew what to do with this.

It's dangerous in the wrong hands.

You mean that device
actually duplicates?

Sure. All you have to do is
press the button, like so.

Alexandra, watch out
for the duplicating beam!

Sorry about that, guess I pressed

the disappearing button by mistake.

You made another mistake.
You just missed Alexandra.

Well, at least, that's
the end of Mr. Menton.

And his Multi-Men.

Personally, I prefer my
man in bunches of one.

The only trouble is Josie's got him.

'Darn it!'
