OJ e Emerald Haywood, fratello e sorella, hanno ereditato un ranch ad Agua Dolce, non lontano da Hollywood, dopo la morte del padre Otis sr., avvenuta in circostanze difficili da spiegare scientificamente. L'attività di famiglia riguarda l'addestramento di cavalli selvaggi per l'industria del cinema, ma gli Haywood vantano origini ben più nobili e sostengono di discendere dal fantino bahamense immortalato da Eadweard Muybridge nella sequenza di fotografie del 1878, nota come la prima successione di immagini in movimento (in sostanza il primo film) mai girata. Mentre OJ cerca di vendere i propri cavalli a Jupiter, ex attore divenuto proprietario di un parco dei divertimenti western ad Agua Dolce, avvengono fatti sempre più strani e inspiegabili al ranch degli Haywood, tanto da far pensare a una presenza extraterrestre e ostile.

Talento, ambizione e determinazione sono importantissimi a Hollywood, a meno che non siate un gatto tosto con il sogno della danza. È noto che i maiali non volano, le mucche non cantano, e allo stesso modo, si sa che i gatti non sanno ballare. Scott Bakula e Jasmine Guy partecipano a questo musical animato e prestano la voce a Danny, un gatto moderno con la passione per il ballo e a Sawyer, la sexy e cinica cantante di cui Danny va pazzo. Nonostante le sue grandi doti da ballerino, sfoggiati in balli coreografati dal leggendario Gene Kelly, Danny non riesce nemmeno ad aggiudicarsi un’audizione. Le parti migliori vanno sempre alle persone: gli animali abbaiano soltanto, muggiscono o miagolano. Accompagnati dalle canzoni di Randy Newman e dalla voce di Natalie Cole, Danny e gli animali affrontano situazioni difficili e divertenti, dando ognuno il meglio si sè, indipendentemente dalla specie di appartenenza.

Junior, origliando alla porta, è ovviamente imbarazzato e sente che questa decisione rischia di minare la sua mascolinità.

October 5, 1939

Comedy about a little girl who's uncle makes her an ice skating star, only to take all of her money.

There never was a star quite like her. Adored by adults and children alike, at four she already led at the box office — ahead of Gable and Cooper. Her films saved a movie studio from bankruptcy, and a President credited her with raising the morale of Depression-weary Americans. Her earliest movies gave a foretaste of her talents and soon would become the songs and dances that helped make those movies immortal.

The movie that reveals the feuds behind America's favorite show.
