On the run from human military authorities and local animal shelter employees, the cat from outer space must use all his cunning to manipulate naive humans into helping him elude his hunters, sow the seeds for an uprising of Earth's subjugated felines and discover the ancient connection between this bizarre and frightening world and his own home planet. Release Date: Summer 2004. ****************************************************************** Now it seems to me that this is going to, in a very strange way, be a retelling of Planet Of The Apes. I might even pay to see *this* movie. <G> xponent Twisted Disney Maru rob
