Duchess and her three kittens are enjoying the high life with their devoted human mistress until the wicked butler Edgar, with his eyes on a big inheritance, decides to dope them and get them out of the picture. How can these fragile creatures cope in the unfamiliar countryside and the meaner streets of Paris? Only by meeting the irrepressible alley cat O'Malley, a rough diamond with romance in his heart. After they get a taste of the wide dangerous world, he guides them home, and Edgar gets his just desserts at the wrong end of a horse. As always, it's really the voices rather than the animation that are the heart of the Disney magic: Phil Harris is brilliant as O'Malley, Eva Gabor as Duchess is... well... Eva Gabor; but perhaps the most memorable turns are by Pat Buttram and George Lindsay, who turn the old hounds Napoleon and Lafayette into a couple of bumbling Southern-fried rednecks. Their scenes with Edgar, and the musical numbers with Scat Cat and his cool-dude band, are classic. Most striking about seeing The Aristocats now is how deeply Disney's style of animation has changed since this was at the cutting edge in 1970. Perhaps the nostalgic, dated feel are just a result of being plonked down in Belle Epoque Paris, but the illustrations are fussier (a pity) and the animation and overall pace much less frenetic (sometimes a relief) than in more recent efforts such as Aladdin. --Richard Farr

 Great movie October 24, 2008
D. Guddeck (Colorado)
I really enjoy this movie and always have. It is colorful and the music is great. A wonderful family movie which is becoming slim these days.
Original spanish dubbing finally in this edition! 2008 October 7, 2008
D0b3r (Houston, TX USA)
I'm happy to say that the new 2008 Special Edition has the original Spanish audio with German Valdez "Tin Tan" and other of the most exceptional dubbing actors of all time, despite what Amazon's technical details say. It is truly a joy to revisit my childhood by hearing the original voices I heard so long ago, with masterful performances that make you yearn for the golden age of Disney dubbing in Mexico.
Esta nueva edicion de 2008 contiene el doblaje original con Tin Tan en el papel de Thomas O'Maley, ademas de muchas otras voces maravillosas con las que todos crecimos en Latinoamerica viendo las peliculas ahora clasicas de Walt Disney.

I saw this movie the first time and i thought it would be really neat. i was so psyched because it took place in paris and i had seen a lot of advertising for it. but this is like a 101 dalmatians wanna-be failure! it is loaded with annoying songs that you wonder when they'll be done and get back to the dialogue. also there are plenty of bizarre details such as why does everyone speak with a quasi-English accent when they supposedly are from paris? why does the mouse hang out with cats? why are there 3 colors of cats from a white cat who never mentions any father figure who helped to produce them? why do the white cats have similar personalities and the brown cats as well? i think this movie is just lacking too much and there's really nothing to save it. it was okay. just okay.
