Memorable, crazy movie
Good concept, poorly executed.
Blistering performances.
Almost forgotten today, the Aristocats about cats in Paris has a good voice cast but it seems like something that should have been made for Saturday morning TV. Fun for kiddies, but not that memorable.
Wow! The music and talent of this group. It's such a shame they never did anything else after this picture. I would have followed them on tour!
The movie, "The AristoCats", is a fantastic movie for your young one to watch when you just need sometime off. Not only will the love the characters, the setting, and the many animals, it also builds up good ideas in their minds. It gives the idea of staying mentally strong, compatibility with others, and resilience against difficult situations. The cats are drugged, and then thrown out into the river left to drown. With all this hardship, Duchess, the mother cat, keeps her ducks in a row and makes sure that her family is safe. She keeps herself strong and gives to others who are important to her. Her family and her own welfare is the most important thing to her. This could have effect on your children, building the mentality that it is important to stay strong when the going gets rough.Our little family they will need to trust others to keep themselves safe. Of course, we don't want your kid running off with a stranger when they are lost, but it may be a way to talk to your kids about talking to strangers. This little family of cats, each and everyone, must be resilient against their hardship. They all have to show compassion and strength towards each other to keep everyone together. By keeping themselves strong, they keep each other strong.
What would you get if you took both Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians, smashed them together and made it about cats to avoid being completely obvious about it. In a word, this movie. It has the pampered household pet meeting a scamp, it has animals being stolen for lucrative purposes, it has chases and hiding, it has a romantic moonlit night... it basically has all the good parts from both films, but because they're so obviously borrowed, you can't really get into it.The film has its upsides, though, certainly. It's a Disney film after all. The music for one is pretty sweet, with jazzy tunes and one true classic in Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat. Plus, the two main characters, Duchess and O'Malley, while painfully similar to Lady and the Tramp, are at least interesting to follow, whereas the three children have no personalities of their own, aside from one of them being a female.Furthermore, the film's plot is full of holes, the villain is one of the least interesting Disney villains I've ever seen, the film is nothing more than a sequence of uninteresting side characters met one after another, the conclusion has no stages and as a whole it simply lacks effort.The Aristocats is perfectly fine as a children's film. It's not offensive in any way, the animation is nice, the music is nice and there's no reason why your kids wouldn't love it. But, it's one of the few Disney films you cannot really sit through as an adult without any difficulty, especially if you've seen the two films it rips off.
