The Aristocats Reviews
"A lady does not start fights, but she can finish though."
I love cats. Well, most cats at least. I'm not too fond of scary looking cats that come in my yard. Anyway, I have one named Abner that looks just like the dark gray kitten in the movie. This film is about cats and there are several adorable scenes. I especially love the scenes at the beginning when the cats are at home painting and singing and playing the piano. They're so adorable! It doesn't matter that they're animated.
Their owner is making out her will and her butler Edgar overhears that he will be her beneficiary only AFTER her cats are dead. After some math, he realizes he'll be dead before he gets a cent, so he decides to dispose of the kitties by dropping them off someplace far from home. If he had been smart, he would have waited for the Missus to die then just spend the cats' money considering he would likely be the one responsible for the cats anyway. But why should I let something like logic get in the way of movie storytelling? Anyway, I refuse to see Edgar as the bad guy. I would be ticked too if I had to defer to animals.
Unfortunately, the scenes after this development are not as good. Don't tell me that because it's a cartoon I should see no flaws in it. We get treated to scenes of two annoying dogs and two annoying geese (I can't believe I can't tell a goose from a swan). The story is thin, and O'Malley the alley cat is not interesting in the least. The best thing about the movie are the three kittens. And of course, the song: "Ev'rybody, ev'rybody, ev'rybody wants to be a cat!"
Great underrated Disney classic.
In Paris in the year 1910, a retired old rich opera singer decides to give her fortune away to her beautiful cat Duchess ( voiced by Eva Gabor) and her kittens, but the jealous butler Edgar comes up with a plan as he kidnaps the cats then leaves them in the countryside. Luckily with the help of a streetwise and independent tomcat named Thomas O'Maley ( voiced by Phil Harris) helps them get home even meeting some good friends of his along the way like Scat Cat ( voiced by Scatman Crothers) and try to foil Edgar's plans.
Entertaining and edgy post-Walt's death animated musical with a couple of nice jazzy tunes like the memorable "everybody wants to be a cat", good voice acting and some good animation for it's time especially in these CGI obsessed days, not one of the greatest but a cult disney fave that i highly recommend if you and your family wants to be entertained.
This DVD has good picture and decent sound quality with the only extras are the trailer, trivia game and a readalong. One of the few gems of the post-walt's death era that works well, i highly recommend this.
