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.

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.

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