     The Aristocats
1970  G  ANIMATED  1h 18min
CAST— Eva Gabor, Phil Harris, Sterling Holloway, Scatman Crothers, Paul Winchell, Lord Tim Hudson, Vito Scotti, Thurl Ravenscroft, Nancy Culp, Pat Buttram, George Lindsey, Monica Evans, Carole Shelley
MUSIC— George Bruns, Richard Sherman, Robert Sherman, Georges Bizet  DIRECTOR— Wolfgang Reitherman  BASED ON— The Aristocats (story), by Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe

     Lackluster Disney film features flat animation and forgettable musical numbers not to mention a mediocre plot with cardboard characters. A wealthy woman with a feline fetish decides to leave her entire estate to her kitties, much to the chagrin of her villainous butler. He decides to ditch the cats in the country, usurping their position as heirs. The cats start the journey back home, escorted by a street-smart alley cat who’s into jazz. Sort of a mashup between One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) and The Jungle Book (1967). In other words, nothing special.
OUR RATING— * ½
