The Aristocats (1970). REVIEW

The carefully painted Paris setting has the watery air of Ardizzone, while light and colour are used beautifully throughout.

If the film has any genuine ambition, it appears to be that the Disney brand name must be maintained alive until someone can figure out what to do with it.

Compare the fluttering oval eyes of soignee puss Duchess to the piggy spots of her alley-cat admirer, O'Malley, and you'll see what I mean. The musical sequences - a cat diving around a keyboard to perform an arpeggio; a piano bouncing to the beat as it descends through multiple floors - may have tested even Oscar winner Nick Park's inventiveness.

Following Walt Disney's death in 1966, Walt Disney Animation Studios struggled to create a distinct voice and identity, resulting in what many consider to be one of the studio's poorest periods in terms of volume and quality. This identification appears to be incorrect, as despite an unintelligible voice, the studio ended up releasing a number of appealing and different features, which have since found re-evaluation and new fanbases celebrating their unique charm. The Aristocats is a relatively straightforward tale of a family of cats who nearly get killed by their family butler, Edgar, who is trying to take the cats out of the picture so he can inherit the family riches from the will.

Personally i believe this film has to be one of my favorite animated movies of all time, its charming and lovely, plus the scripts its fabolous!
