willsfamily11 I was 3 years old when this movie was released. My parents would rent it for me over and over again. I have been looking for a copy of it for YEARS as I would love to show it to my children.I have vague recollections of the story itself but I have strong emotional ties to it as I watched it hundreds of times.

Kargemari I was born in 1983 so I was only 1 when it was released but I seriously remember watching this movie over and over as a child. It was one of my favorite movies. I still have my tape that it was recorded on and I am so glad that I've kept it all these years. My daughter is now 21 months old and she just watched it for the first time yesterday. I haven't seen it for many many years now but I fell in love with it all over again. I would love to get a real copy instead of my old scratchy version that was recorded in the 80s. The technology wasn't great but it had a beautiful story and to me was very inspirational and something I want my daughter to grow up watching compared to some of the garbage that's on TV now days. I think it's a great metaphor for life and how we can all aspire to do great things.

cheechee I watched this movie in the mid-80's and it kept my attention the whole time. I thot it was the cutest, sweetest animated movie i had ever seen. It was so interesting watching katy wander thru her life wishing she was something different and the sadness she experienced along the way because she felt so ugly and wanted to be beautiful. Then seeing the happiness she finally came to know when she changed into a butterfly and was so beautiful. I remember it brought tears to my eyes.This movie has always stayed in my mind but i have never seen it again in all these years. I wish they would show this movie again sometime so I could make a vcr tape of it. It is a priceless animated movie that all children and adults would love.

Francisco Huerta I must have been around 9 or 10 years old. My memory is all fuzzy over this, and I have never, ever seen any reference to this movie except for here. So I have decided to take a trip down memory lane, with the other 2 people who might also someday remember about this story.First of all. I do remember this was a big deal in Mexico, since it was either the first animated motion picture to come out of Silvia Roche's (of "Odisea Burbujas" fame - who can forget!) mind. The usual media blitz now associated with a Disney release (although at a lesser scale, of course) was implemented here, too! I remember I had a Katy the Caterpillar glow-in-the-dark figurine, and there were books, toys, etc.Funny thing is, why would a mexican cartoon had all the text in the movie in english? I clearly remember when Katy goes to a club, the banner reads "Cheese-o-theque", and the character read "Ques-o-teca". Pretty weird. I guess mexican kids were always second-rate to the producers.Anyway, what was the story about? Simple. A caterpillar who thought she was too chubby and ugly, so she leaves home in search of adventures. Along the way, somehow, she morphs into a rather cute butterfly.I would watch this one over again, but just because of the memories it brings back. If I remember correctly, the animation was terrible, the drawings were pretty bad, and everything was in english.Still, I rate it a 7 because if I ever can watch it again, it will be the best trip down memory lane I could ever have.
