A multilayer film includes a plastic layer and an elastomeric layer. The plastic layer can contain a co-polyester of terepthalic acid, adipic acid and butanediol, and the elastomeric layer can contain a polyurethane elastomer. The plastic layer and/or the elastomeric layer can contain filler particles, and may be present as a bilayer laminate. The plastic layer and a filled elastomeric layer can also be combined with an unfilled elastomeric layer to form a tri-layer laminate. The multilayer films can provide breathable films with improved degradability, stretchability and recoverability, and tactile feel.

What is claimed is: 1. A multilayer film, comprising: a plurality of plastic layers comprising a co-polyester of terepthalic acid, adipic acid and butanediol; and a plurality of elastomeric layers comprising a polyurethane elastomer having a tensile modulus from about 40 MPa to about 120 MPa, wherein the film has a breathability of about 3,000 g mil/day m2 to about 20,000 g mil/day m2, wherein the plastic layers and the elastomeric layers are separate and distinct from each other in an alternating arrangement with one another and wherein the film comprises a well bonded laminate structure, and wherein the film has a surface roughness avenge of about 500 to about 1,000 nanometers. 2. The film of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plastic layer and the elastomeric layer further comprises from about 20 weight percent to about 65 weight percent filler particles. 3. The film of claim 2, wherein the filler particles comprise calcium carbonate having a mean particle size from about 2 micrometers to about 5 micrometers. 4. The film of claim 3, wherein the elastomeric layer is a filled elastomeric layer comprising from about 20 weight percent to about 65 weight percent filler particles; the film further comprising an unfilled elastomeric layer comprising a polyurethane elastomer, wherein the plastic layer, the filled elastomeric layer and the unfilled elastomeric layer together form a trilayer laminate. 5. The film of claim 4, further comprising a plurality of trilayer laminates. 6. The film of claim 4, wherein each of the plastic layers alternates with either of the elastomeric layers and the film comprises a well bonded laminate structure. 7. The film of claim 4, wherein the filled elastomeric layer is present in the film at a level of about 30 weight percent to about 80 weight percent, and the unfilled elastomeric layer is present in the film at a level of about 3 weight percent to about 20 weight percent. 8. The film of claim 1, wherein the elastomeric layer is present in the film at a level of about 30 weight percent to about 80 weight percent. 9. The film of claim 1, wherein at least one of the co-polyester and the polyurethane elastomer is biodegradable. 10. The film of claim 9, wherein the polyurethane elastomer is hydrolytically degradable. 11. The film of claim 1, wherein the film has a thickness between about 1.5 and about 3.0 mil. 12. The film of claim 1, wherein the film has a tensile modulus in the machine direction from about 10 MPa to about 120 MPa. 13. The film of claim 1, wherein the film has a percent set in the machine direction of less than about 100 percent. 14. An absorbent disposable article, comprising a body of absorbent material, and a multilayer film of claim 1 attached to the body of the absorbent material. 15. The absorbent disposable article of claim 14, wherein the absorbent disposable article is selected from a diaper, an adult incontinence product, a feminine care absorbent product, and a training pant. 16. The film of claim 1, wherein each of the plastic layer and the elastomeric layer further comprises from about 20 weight percent to about 65 weight percent filler particles having a mean particle size from about 2 to about 4 micrometers. 17. The film of claim 1, wherein the film has a thickness between about 0.5 and about 1.2 mil. 18. The film of claim 1, wherein the film comprises between about 5 to about 100 layers. 19. The film of claim 1, wherein the film comprises between 5 to 17 layers. 20. The film of claim 19, wherein the film has a thickness between about 0.5 and about 1.2 mil. 21. A stretched multilayer film, comprising: A plurality of plastic layers and a plurality of elastomeric polyurethane layers separate and distinct from each other in an alternating arrangement and forming a well-bonded laminate structure; wherein each plastic layer comprises a co-polyester of terepthalic acid, adipic acid and butanediol; wherein the elastomeric polyurethane has a tensile modulus from about 40 MPa to about 120 MPa; wherein at least one of each of the plastic and elastomeric polyurethane layers comprises filler particles; wherein none of the layers are corrugated and the film has a tensile modulus in the machine direction from about 10 to about 120 MPa, and wherein the film has a surface roughness average of about 500 to about 1,000 nanometers. 22. The stretched film of claim 21, wherein the stretched film comprises between 3 and 17 layers and has a thickness between about 0.5 and about 1.2 mil. 23. The stretched film of claim 21, wherein the filler particles have a mean particle size from about 2 to about 4 micrometers. 24. A stretched multilayer film comprising: a plurality of trilayer laminates comprising: a plastic layer comprising a co-polyester of terepthalic acid, adipic acid and butanediol; a filled elastomeric polyurethane layer comprising from about 20 weight percent to about 65 weight percent filler particles; and a filled elastomeric polyurethane layer not having filler particles; wherein the stretched multilayer film has a thickness between about 0.5 and about 1.2 mil, and wherein the plastic layers and the elastomeric layers are in an alternating arrangement with one another and separate and distinct from each other and wherein the film comprises a well bonded laminate structure, wherein the film has a surface roughness average of about 500 to about 1,000 nanometers and wherein the elastomeric polyurethane has a tensile modulus from about 40 MPa to about 120 MPa. 25.
