The Aristocats (1970)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A mixture of Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians, only with cats...oh, and no soul, story conviction, authentic charm, or worthwhile style. Still though, "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" is a banger.

Watching this movie when it was first released, it left a good feeling already: a simple story, but a very happy one, also helped with a nice musical soundtrack. Through the years I enjoyed watching it several times, and my appreciation grew . The characters are funny, the animation is nice, like 101 damations, the style is nice and this pic I share amongst the best animated movies from Disney: not sentimental and just plain fun to watch. Recommended !

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

It's pre-war Paris. Duchess is a well groomed cat with three kittens; Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse. Man servant Edgar overhears their loving elderly owner Madame Adelaide Bonfamille changing her will. She plans to leave her estate to the cats with Edgar as her heir after the cats' death. He decides to abandon the cats in the country. Stray cat Thomas O'Malley falls for Duchess and leads the family back to Paris.The song and music is big band and jazzy. It's the waning years of old school Disney animation. It is fun and light but lacks any long-lasting drama. The old school feel fits the time period and setting of the story. It doesn't have the big iconic tune although a couple of them are pretty catchy. The cats are cute. Edgar is a functional villain but the movie needs a more immediate villain in the middle while he is separated from the cats. There should be an animal villain hunting the family to heighten the drama. There is a stretch between being abandoned and returning to face Edgar where the movie lacks any tension. In any case, the movie has a good nature light fluffiness that is quite appealing.
