Amazon.com:
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

Rating: - Not appropriate movie for children
I was expecting to be delighted by the this movie as I usually love Disney movies, but instead was sadly disappointed. There are references to drinking, drugs and sex in this movie, and the drunk goose is sadly made out to be funny. I do not want my children to ever watch this movie and I am getting rid of it- although I cannot imagine giving away to any other child. Please, do NOT get this move for your kids; get Fox and the Hound or Lady and the Tramp instead for a cleaner, family friendly movie. Besides being inappropriate for children, the plot was not very good either. If you want a more creative and funny movie to watch, watch Cars or Finding Nemo.

Rating: - Not just a funny Disney movie, but a cult classic
Wow. The 70s was probly a great year for cat culture. You had Robert Crumbs Fritz the Cat becoming a hit movie, Morris the cat become a spoke person for 9 Lives cat food. Garfield make it daybut in the sunday newspapper. Mary Tylor Moore starts her own television company called MTM with that cat in it. And Then you had Aristocats. But I remember seeing this when it was aired on a Toledo station in Toledo Ohio. To be honest here. This happends to be the funnest disney movie I have ever seen. Infect this is the oney Disney movie I would watch over and over again. What else is there to love in a movie. Great music, great lines, and great voices of chators done by the best actors and actresses. So who did the voices in this movie? Phil Harris who did the voice of Thomas O Malley, also did the voice of Baloo the bear in The Jungle Book and Big John in Robin Hood. Stering Halloway who did the voice of Roquefort the mouse also did the voice of Winning the Poo in those Winning the Poo movies. And the guy who does the voice of Scat Cat, Doesent it sound like voice of that guy who played Turkle the night guard in One Flew over the Cookoo Nest and Dick Hallorann in The Shinning, and Chico and the man. Its great famly entertainment with no vilonts. The Butler guy sure gives me the the creeps in a funny way. Now why isnt that guy working for The Adam Family? But I do love the ending when Roquefort tell the horse The End and horse says I'am the leader and I will tell you when it The End, The word The End appears on the screen and the horse says The End
