Summary: Boring....
Review: I liked this movie when I was little, now I'm 13, and when I recently watched "The Aristocats" I relized how bad and weak it is. The kittens are cute. But the story is, in my opinion, a rip-off of "Lady and the Tramp" and "101 Dalmations". The songs are really weak too, and the animation isn't all that great. If you wanna see a great, cute movie about animals, I recommend: "The Lion King", "Bambi", and "Lady and the Tramp". Don't waste your money on this. Sorry Disney.

Summary: Terrible
Review: If I could, I would have given it 1/2 a star. This movie should in no way be considered a Disney Classic. First of all, the story line is extremely weak and basically just involves the cats walking back home to their mansion. Secondly, it is clear that this movie was made in the 70's. The main male feline hero comes across to the audience as a pimp and the main female feline heroine comes across as a whore. Even worse, the movie promotes the swinging life style of the 60's as extremely hip. I know that they are only cats, but they are given human qualities and I wouldn't want any kids to take these values home. Thirdly, the villain comes out as a victim and his master seems to be a pompous rich person that has wasted her life away without ever doing any real work and someone that values cats over humans. The only reason why I would have even given this movie 1/2 a star is because of the two dogs in the farm lands and the geeses drunk uncle. Otherwise, the whole movie was a wretched boring experience. Furtheremore, I would suggest that you avoid this movie for your kids unless you believe that the free sex, free drugs mantra of the 60's and 70's is appropriate for your children.

Summary: Meeeooooow!
Review: This is the cutest movie. This movie is mainly aimed at young cat-lovers, but this classic has been my favourite since the age of six. The movie's graphics are beautiful and suit Paris, France--where the movie takes place.

This story is about a family of cats, which are living with madame, an old lady who takes care of them very well, almost like a human. They are sort of like aristocrats, only cats (now you know how the movie recieved its name). The family of cats is made up of Dutchess, the beautiful mother--and her kittens, paino-player Berlioz, Alley-cat Toulouse, and concieted Marie.

However, Edgar, the mean and nasty man that lives with madame, wants takes the kittens away, as madame said that her cats always come first. Madame is very worried, and, she desperately wants her cats to come home. The main part of the story is the cats trying to get home.

Along the way, they meet O'malley the alley cat, who bonds with Dutchess and her kittens. He falls in love with Dutchess, and tries to help them come back home.

They have a long journey back, they almost get run over by a train, O'malley goes down a river and gets "smimming lessons," Dutchess meets with twin geese, and they play instruments with Scat Cat and his gang (which are O'malleys' old friends).

When the cats finally go home, O'malley leaves, as he doesn't belong there. Edgar is angry and wants to send the cats to Timbuktu. O'malley helps them once he can get Scat Cat and his gang to help. When they get Edgar slammed into the package, they send HIM to Timbuktu.

The ending to this story is very nice, as madame decides to take O'malley in. =)

That's it.

Summary: Not up to Classic Disney Standarts
Review: This Disney "Classic" is certainly not one of the studio's better efforts. There is very little story, with merely a couple of great tunes to keep viewers interested. From the grand opening title tune sung by the incomparable Maurice Chevalier it quickly goes down-hill, only to be briefly lifted up by another great song "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat", which is milked all the way to the eventual, non-surprising ending. The nausiatingly friendly and charming voice of Eva Gabor as the beautiful Mama-Kitty becomes tiresome. -- My suggestion: Leave this one for the kids. Grown-ups with some "Disney experience" will not be impressed by this so-so filler film.***

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Cat's Meow!
Review: Not only to all 5 of my kids love this movie, the cat will even sit and watch it.
This is what I believe the best older Disney movie that is out there. I rank it higher than Lady and the Tramp. For the mom that gets caught watching it there is the love story and for the dad there is the comedy of the dogs and the bad guy of the story. For the kids, you have the kittens getting into things and then Scat Cat and the band of alley cats.
My oldest 2 (9 and 6) have been singing "Everybody wants to Be a Cat" for at least 5 years when we originally got the VHS. Getting the DVD adds to the fun with the interactive parts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My kid loves it
Review: If my daughter shows to the TV and says "miau miau" we know she wants to see Aristocats - maybe 3 to 5 times a week. The film is lovely made, has its own drawing stile, a little bit different than other Disneys, the drawing is a little bit more artistic and pencil like. Its fun, its music, its a good but simple story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect first Disney movie for children!
Review: This is the perfect first Disney movie for children, as well as cat lovers of all ages! My daughter loved the movie when it was first made, and now my three-year-old granddaughter adores it. The story is simple, sweet and amusing; the songs are cute and easy for children to remember. I appreciate that the movie has no scary scenes, and the "bad guy" Edgar is more a bumbling figure than a menacing one. The cats - Duchess, her three kittens, Thomas, and the Scat Cats - are all lovable and memorable. Get this movie for your kids - Everybody Loves a Cat!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: I loved tthis whole movie,except...
Review: for one part.I don't like the scene where Duchess and O'Mally are laughing over the fact that one of the geese they've met is drunk.Today,people know that alchohol addiction is nothing to laugh over.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Gives Disney a bad name, which Disney isn't acostumed to
Review: Baloo was such a huge Disney character, so taking Baloo's voice (Phil Harris) and putting it in the alley cat O'malley doesn't work; unless you've never seen "The Jungle Book". Dutchess, voiced by Gza Gza Gabor, is such a dull character; and as cute as the three kittens are, they come nowhere near to saving this movie. The plot has nothing to keep the audience interested. It's been said before: A butler who has given his service for so many years, gets passed up in the will for a familly of Aristocats. Never has a Disney movie made you feel so sorry for the bad guy. This film just doesn't work, and I'm glad I didn't buy it. However I gave it three stars because it is a child's film, and I must look from a child's perspective.
