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

Classic My 22 month old daughter loves the songs in this movie!! She is always singing them!
AristoKids We now take care of a two year old Greatgrandaughter; she watches it on the DVD player, her Mama watched it on VHS, her grandmother saw it in the movie...they all love it.
great kids movie so many of the kids movies have such scary parts in them, this one did not. it still has the "bad guy", but it doesn't terrify them. this movie is wonderful, my 4 year olds absolutely loved it! the adore the little kitten marie and all of the great songs in the movie.
A feline knock-off of Lady and the Tramp This film is okay, and as my title indicated, just a cat version of "Lady and the Tramp." It's not nearly as good, but the kiddies love it and it is prettily animated.
1 disc? 3 1/2 stars This review is about the product, not the movie. We all love the movie.
I was concerned when I went to the store to pick up this DVD and saw that it was a 1-disc "Special" Edition. It was always announced as a 2-disc Special Edition DVD. We saw it in sneak peeks in various Disney DVDs as in the DVD booklets. I loved how the "First Time Ever on 2-disc DVD" phrase was put so big in them. I did buy it, when it was lowered to $15 at Kmart, but I was very confused we didn't get the promised 2-disc edition, just a 1-disc, beautiful-looking DVD.
