Reviews for The Aristocats
A nice-enough Disney feature that some consider an under-appreciated classic and others view as a movie that’s distinguished only by the inclusion of a handful of cool jazz tunes.

...don't expect [The Aristocats] to be even close to such Disney masterpieces as The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast.

Proves that even the studio's halfhearted larks still have life in them, thanks to golden-age animators...tunesmiths...and vocal talent.

The Aristocats is largely an up-scale cat version of 101 Dalmatians minus the deliciously dastardly villain.

The cat's pajamas, dah-ling!

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.

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.

It’s a happy, all singing, very cute and well told tale that will keep the kiddies enthralled while lightening a few older hearts.

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.

Purr-fect.

One of the less successful Disney offerings from the beginning of the 70s.
11/04/09
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.
