Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great music and setting.
Review: I love the French setting and the colorful characters in this movie. The music and characters are all so lovable, you'll want to watch it over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute! A must for Cat Lovers!
Review: What a cute movie! Kids and adults alike will enjoy it! -especially if you like cats!! It takes you on a journey of a Momma Cat and her Kittens who are rescued by a "Cool Cat"...the music is great! If your Disney library does not have this in it yet, it should!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Lady & the Tramp" for aileurophiles
Review: (That's cat-lovers, by the way.) Disney here remakes his canine classic with feline leads and succeeds wonderfully. Duchess (voiced by Eva Gabor) is the pampered pet who (with her three kittens, Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse) is forced out into the cruel world, and O'Malley (Phil Harris) the gallant alley cat who comes to their rescue and wins her love. Unlike the original, here we find a genuine villain--Edgar (Roddy Maude-Roxby), butler to Duchess's wealthy "Madame," who stands to inherit her estate after the cats have lived out their lives, and wants to hurry things up so he can get the money while he's still able to enjoy it. With the help of Froufrou the carriage horse (Nancy Kulp), Roquefort the mouse (Sterling Holloway), and Scat Cat (Scatman Crothers) and his (jazz) band of Alley Cats, O'Malley succeeds in foiling Edgar's plot, and Edgar gets his just desserts. True, the two hound dogs Napoleon and Lafayette (Pat Buttram and George Lindsey) are a bit over-the-top (where are they supposed to be from, the South of France?), but they do provide a laugh-out-loud comic interlude. With humor and suspense aplenty and a delightful array of characters, this movie might even convert the cat-haters in the family. Definitely one of my favorites.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: real life reflections for kids
Review: This is a great movie for very young kids to watch. It doesn't have any violance in it, and about the only scary scene is the "catnapping".
It teaches kids to value and respect each other and don't pass judgment based on being richer or poorer.
A must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simple but sweet
Review: My family loves this movie, it is an especially good Disney movie for younger children since there aren't any real scary moments to leave the kids with nightmares. When so many children's movies run rampant with violence, this one actually falls back on a plot. It is a great movie for the evening because the kids aren't left feeling anxious or worked-up.
As for the animation, it is a shame that everything is computer generated or enhanced nowadays. It is sort of interesting to see scenes where you can identify the individual lines of a character and you can appreciate the true artistry that went into the production of each scene.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cute but annoying
Review: My 2 year old daughter likes this movie and does watch it occasionally. The story is similar to that of "Lady and the Tramp", but where I can watch Tramp and Lady singing and romping around over and over and over again, I find duchess and her kittens all a little too sweet. The songs are OK, but they get annoying after a while. There are better movies out there.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Recycled, formulaic Disney
Review: Take Phil Harris as Baloo the Bear, make him a cat, and have him rescue beloved pets from a criminal who intends to do them harm. Replace Louis Prima with Scatman Crothers to provide a jumping musical interlude in the middle of the film. If you can stand watching a mediocre hybrid of 101 DALMATIANS and JUNGLE BOOK, you might consider buying this movie. Your viewing time (and your kids' time, too) would be better spent with other films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: INFINITE Stars.....by far the GREATEST FILM OF ALL TIME!
Review: And people keep ranting on and on about "Citizen Kane"!?! That movie is the equivalent of "They Saved Hitler's Brain" compared to "THE ARISTOCATS", which is by far the ultimate triumph in the history of the universe!!! The Acting, songs, storyline, animation, snd character development cannot even be discribed in words.....it totally surpasses anything of human comprehension!!! Like, wow!!!
All who would even begin to think otherwise in the least bit will immediately be struck down by God and cast into the fiery casms of HELL from whence they came! I literally worship this movie every night after work! And every single living organism in the universe and all other dimensions should, too.

BOW DOWN TO ITS AWESOME, INDESCRIBABLE, UNIMAGINABLE, UNRIVALED DIVINITY! IT SHOULD RULE THE UNIVERSE! IT DOES RULE THE UNIVERSE! KNEEL BEFORE IT! KNEEL BEFORE IT NOW, OR SUFFER CONSEQUENCES BEYOND ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yikes!
Review: This is one of Disney's worst, almost as bad and annoying as Peter Pan. Don't get me wrong - I love Disney. But this is just awful. Slow storytelling, extraneous and unimportant scenes that add nothing...

The main characters aren't bad, but many of them are just excuses to add a few more excruciatingly painful minutes onto the film. Whoever approved the release of this film in 1970 was obviously still suffering the effects of a rotten acid trip. Now I know why everyone warned me not to waste my money buying this one! Guess my faith in Disney's usual excellence and quality was ill-founded in this case. Wait for it on TV, but don't go and buy it unless you really like it. Otherwise, stick with Bambi or The Lion King if you want a great Disney critter movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Cat's Meouw!
Review: I loved this movie as a video tape. So much in fact that I had to get it on DVD. I find it a pity that you can only choose between the English and a French audio track, I would have enjoyed a bigger variety of versions, but be it as it is. The trivia game is cute, my 5-year old daughter could answer almost all questions and was very thrilled. And I liked the story book read-along with options for smaller or bigger children to have it read to them or read themselves. All in all a great DVD for the whole family and I can only recommend it to all Disney fans!
