Trivia
Jake the cat was played by two different Abyssinian cats: Rumple and his sister, Amber.

Goofs
Early in the film, Frank and Jake discuss procuring the bar of gold necessary to repair the ship. During the discussion, Jake says that he will need to reduce it while retaining all its properties. Later, when Jake reduces the gold to the size of a small pencil, Liz easily picks it up. If the "reduced" gold had retained all of its original properties as Jake said, it should have had the same mass as a bar of gold.

It holds up

I am 100% sure I watched this film when I was a kid. It was on the Disney hour on Sunday evening. I watched it with my family and I remember most of what happens in the movie, which is kind of crazy. The film is called the Cat from Outer Space and that basically explains all of the plot. The cat is very ably voiced by Roddy McDowell and the film is directed by Norman Tokar who did a lot of these Disney films in the '60s and '70s. Interestingly for Mash fans, it stars Harry Morgan and McLean Stevenson. Harry Morgan played the first commander of the unit and McLean Stevenson actually replaced him on Mash.

It's a mash-centric movie and it sort of feels like the answer to the question, what if Disney made a MASH sci-fi movie for kids? A bit boring in parts, but it definitely holds up and is worth a watch.
