Movie: The Aristocats
Release year: 1970
My reaction: There are a handful of lines from this movie I know REALLY well, because they were part of a preview on a tape I had of another Disney movie. Lines like, “You’re not a lady, you’re nothing but a sister,” “Scandalous,” “QUIET!!” and others. But I never had this movie growing up so it’s not one I’m super familiar with. This was probably the third time I’ve ever watched it. I think I vaguely remember watching it at the Ruffcorns’ house while babysitting their kids…
It’s cute, but I can see why it didn’t catch on. It just doesn’t have the spark that so many of the other movies do. I wonder if they were just trying out cats because 101 Dalmatians went well? It’s fun to see some of the repeated animation sequences – where they use the same molds but put the new characters in. An all-around pleasant morning.
Aaaaand as usual, this is the least blurry photo we could get. =)

I have a post in the queue for this movie, but I feel like few have seen it or would know the references. One of my questions is why are all three cats the same ages but clearly different breeds? Especially since she is obviously a purebred would only have mated (pre-Thomas o’Mally) with another purebred. Keep ’em coming!
My husband asked the same question about the kittens – I guess I assumed that cats can be any color? I have more questions about who (and where) their natural father is. I don’t know if I really see Madame letting Duchess breed…
I say post it! Enough people have seen the movie, at least once. =)
