Jazzy, 1970 animated Disney flick set in Paris, following four pampered housecats, lost in the middle of the city. Forced out of their home by an envious butler, Duchess and the three kittens must find their way back to their loving owner, guided by a self-governing alley cat.

"It is light and pleasant and funny, the characterisation is strong, and the voices... are charming in their absolute rightness."

—

Roger Ebert

"This 1970 animated feature is dull, careless, and all too typical of the Disney studio’s slapdash output before the unexpected renaissance of The Rescuers (1977)."

—

Chicago Reader

"Quite a lot of The Aristocats borrows from other Disney features."

—

Los Angeles Times

"While most of The Aristocats is negligible, the movie comes to life when Harris and Scatman Crothers sing 'Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat'..."

—

A.V. Club

"A poor man's Lady And The Tramp, it lacks the sparkle and vigour of the truly great Disney cartoons..."

—

Empire Magazine

"Eva Gabor (gave) one of the only memorable vocal performances in the entire film..."

—

Slant Magazine

"An enjoyable mix of fine animation, catchy songs, and outstanding voice characterisations..."

—

TV Guide

"Helped immeasurably by the voices of Phil Harris, Eva Gabor, Sterling Holloway, Scatman Crothers and others, plus some outstanding animation, songs, sentiment, some excellent dialog and even a touch of psychedelia."

—

Variety

"The animals' exuberance is so infectious and their "acting" so true to human life that by the fadeout The Aristocats does, indeed, give the audience paws for reflection."

—

Time Magazine

"The real beauty of the picture, which is as amusing, smoothly machined and beautifully colored as any Disney should be, is in the characterizations, sustained within a sprightly but simple format."
