This enchanting tale begins in Paris, when a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to her family a family of adorable high-society cats. But when Edgar, the greedy butler, overhears her plan, he catnaps Duchess, the elegant, soft-spoken mother, and her three mischievous kittens and abandons them in the French countryside. Soon, they’re being escorted home by the charming Thomas O’Malley, a rough-and-tumble alley cat, who takes them to his pad along the way where Scat Cat and his band of swingin’ jazz cats perform the memorable Ev’rybody Wants To Be A Cat.
Enriched by high-style Disney animation (The New Yorker) and toe-tapping music by Academy Award winning songwriters, the Sherman Brothers (Mary Poppins), The Aristocats is a timeless treasure, and the last animated feature to get the nod for Walt Disney himself.
