Storyline

Retired madame Adelaide Bonfamille enjoys the good life in her Paris villa with even classier cat Duchess and three kittens: pianist Berlioz, painter Toulouse and sanctimonious Marie. When loyal butler Edgar overhears her will leaves everything to the cats until their death, he drugs and kidnaps them. However retired army dogs make his sidecar capsize on the country. Crafty stray cat Thomas O'Malley takes them under his wing back to Paris. Edgar tries to cover his tracks and catch them at return, but more animals turn on him, from the cart horse Frou-Frou to the tame mouse Roquefort and O'Malley's jazz friends. Written by KGF Vissers

Did You Know?

Trivia

The song that O'Malley sings when he first appears has several similarities to "The Bear Necessities" from The Jungle Book (1967). Both were used as the introduction of a character, were written by Terry Gilkyson, and performed by Phil Harris. Additionally other songs written for each film were written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The only exception of this is "Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat" which was written by Floyd Huddleston and Al Rinker. See more »

Goofs

When Edgar gives the cats their milk, as he is exiting the room saying "Sleep well...", the cuff-link on his right hand (which is usually seen as red) is seen uncoloured (or just white) for a few frames, and then reappears as red again. See more »

Quotes

Abigail Gabble: Amelia, if I walk any further, I'll get flat feet.
Amelia Gabble: Abigail, we were born with flat feet.

Crazy Credits

The opening title at first reads "The Aristocrats." As the three kittens go by, Toulouse notices the title, he removes the second r and pushes the letters together to form "The AristoCats." See more »

For kids to enjoy. And it's cool!
27 May 2000 | by (Sweden) – See all my reviews

> Kids will love this movie, just as they should. But, actually I thought it was cool! The characters and the music (ScatCat rocks) are fantastic to listen to, and the soundtrack is to be recommended.

An old lady makes her beloved cats the owner of her money, in her will. Her clumsy butler, Edgar, finds this idea very stupid and annoying. And a problem, since he was certain that the money would go to him. So, wise as he is, he decides to get the cats out of the picture, so he can get all the cash. Of course. He grabs them in a rainy night and throw them away in a swamp way outside the city in France.

Can't be missing in your Disney-collection.
