George Taylor Almost forgotten today, the Aristocats about cats in Paris has a good voice cast but it seems like something that should have been made for Saturday morning TV. Fun for kiddies, but not that memorable.

Smoreni Zmaj Although it isn't among the Disney's top masterpieces, it is unfairly neglected. Cats are my favorite creatures, so maybe I'm biased, but I could watch this cartoon hundreds of times. Also, I always preferred old school animation over computer one, and when you have excellent drawing and add even better jazz to it, you get unforgettable experience.8/10Everybody wants to be a cat Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat 'Cause everything else is obsoleteA square with a horn Makes you wish you weren't born Every time he plays But with a square in the act You can set music back To the caveman daysI've heard some corny birds Who tried to sing Still a cat's the only cat Who knows how to swingWho wants to dig a long-haired gig stuff like that? When everybody wants to be a catWhen playin' jazz He always has a welcome mat 'Cause everybody digs a swingin' cat

RealLiveClaude First saw the movie in 1972 when it was released in French Canada (the Parisian french version fits very well, with France's voice celebrities Roger Carel and Claude Bertrand among the cast...). I enjoyed it then... and still today enjoyed it so fully...Greedy butler Edgar tries to get rid of her mistress' cats to have their inheritance, however, a clever mouse, two dogs, English Goose sisters, a horse and a charming alley cat with his band of jazz cats save the day for Duchess and her kittens.Great Disney fare for all. And if you love cats, you'll fall in love with Paris and the French countryside settings. And enjoy the gags and the songs...Everybody wants to be a cat here... You'll love it !

gavin6942 With the help of a smooth talking tomcat (Phil Harris), a family of Parisian felines set to inherit a fortune from their owner try to make it back home after a jealous butler kidnaps them and leaves them in the country.This film may have been great in its day, but it just does not hold up well. The plot is pretty basic (almost non-existent), the characters are just average, with the male lead being incredibly sexist (and the female lead somehow enjoying it). The father of the kittens is never explained, and leads the viewer to imagine the horrible circumstances that lead to their birth...The music is alright, and the voice talent is very good (with many returning for the superior "Rescuers"). There is never a bad time for Scatman Crothers. But the film does not age that great, and if it were to be remade would require quite the makeover for Thomas O'Malley.
