Top CriticPurr-fect.

Top CriticAn enjoyable mix of fine animation, catchy songs, and outstanding voice characterizations.

Top CriticThe 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.

Top CriticThis 1970 animated feature is dull, careless, and all too typical of the Disney studio's slapdash output before the unexpected renaissance of The Rescuers.

has a charm behind it that shines through

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.

Top CriticA 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.

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

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 one of the slightest of director Wolfgang Reitherman's contributions to the Disney animated feature canon, which is to say it's still among the studio's least suffocatingly ornate and ideologically risible films.
02/04/08
...not a bad film...just a middle-of-the-road one from a studio that has given us some true animated classics.

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.

Top CriticThe cat's pajamas, dah-ling!

Fun, light Disney cartoon.

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