Amazon.co.uk Review
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

3.0 out of 5 stars The Aristocats Special Edition (Upgrading?), 19 Feb 2008
By Mr. A. J. K. Hemp (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Aristocats Special Edition [DVD] [1970] (DVD)
I purchased this copy to replace my current copy of the original dvd release.
Please be aware that this version has not been "Digitaly restored". They claim "Digital Transfer", but I could still see film spots etc, which are removed in a "restoration" i.e. the quality was not as good as it is when they restore.
They have also converted the movie into Widescreen format using Pan and Scan.
If you are interested in the animation side of the movie, then you will find lots of original detail missing as the top and bottom are chopped off.
If you just want the movie to fill the whole screen, then this is the dvd version for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Miaou-miaous', 3 Aug 2004
By "marcusmuck" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Good hearted Disney film suitable for the smallest kids- my little 2 year old loves watching her 'Miaou-miaous'.

On the other hand it's quite amusing with some adult humour thrown in for 'grown-ups'.

It has the usual loveable characters too- even the baddy (Edgar the butler) isn't REALLY bad (just greedy). Phil Harris (Thomas O'Malley) plays his usual likeable part, and there's Scatman Crothers (Scat Cat) as well!

Charming animation, stylish and 'artistic' (not 'unfinished & sloppy' as some have moaned). Not the usual 'Disney feel' as it's in line with a French style and elegence. The backgrounds are particularly good. Apparently this was the last film to get the 'nod' from Disney himself and it was directed by the Disney regular Wolfgang Reitherman (Jungle book, The Rescuers, 101 Dalmations).

Not as many songs as some other Disney films, but at 1hr 15mins what do you expect?

5.0 out of 5 stars "The cats whiskers ", 2 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Aristocats [1970] [DVD] (DVD)
Don't just buy this for the kids , be generous and let them watch it with you.If you like cats then this is a must.Music is fantastic and the animation has been given a period edge.The kids roared with laughter as the aged lawyer try's to get up the stair ( and still do despite seeing 20+ times ).The main characters are all great but its the extras that give this the
edge over all the others.They have all been created to capture your undived attention no matter how short their scenes.Kids seem to watch this over and over again (not unusual for kids )but with this one its just as entertaining for adults to watch again and again.
Pure pleasure
