Alice was a live little girl and the cartoons were drawn around her. They featured a cat that looked and behaved remarkably like Pat Sullivan's "Felix". The thing I hated most about "Mary Poppins" and "The Gnomemobile" were the little kids' snooty British accents. What was this obsession with British settings anyway? I think "Lady and the Tramp" was set in London too, wasn't it? Or am I thinking of "101 Dalmations"?
