The Aristocats

Director: Wolfgang Reitherman

1970 / 78min / 35mm

A big-screen outing for this flight of feline fun from the Disney vaults, the last animated feature to be signed off on by Walt himself is a purr-fect Parisian period piece featuring a family of nose-in-the-air cats who, after being kidnapped away from the accustomed baronial splendor of their home, have to rely on the streetwise wiles of alley cat O’Malley to keep them safe. Featuring animation supremely attentive to the syntax of kitty motion and the vocal talents of Eva Gabor and Scatman Crothers who gets to lead on the boppin' classic “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat.”

Distributor: Walt Disney Studios/20th Century
